Ken Haines is still head coach at Biglerville.
Also just for clarity: Levi can't receive any scholarship while he's still in high school.

Personally I get tired of posters that play the victim card before they even become a victim for the first time.

Never implied he could earn a scholarship while in high school, only that if your family can relocate to the State College area, you can save quite a bit of $$$ off room and board with what is otherwise mandatory on-campus residency for freshman. I can see that as an incentive for some to relocate (lots of people work from home). You have to graduate from a high school in Centre County to get the live with parent/ guardian exemption.
If relocating is something you are considering, there’s a monetary incentive to do it while the student can still transfer and graduate from a high school in Centre County.
Here's what Penn State says about it:
"Incoming First-Year Students
First-year students are required to reside on campus at University Park. A student may request a contract exemption from the residency requirement if they are 21 years or older, the student is married and his/her spouse will be at the University, the student has performed active-duty military service, or has graduated from a high school in Centre County and will be living with his or her parent/guardian in a permanent residence."

I guess they changed the rules since the late 80s & early 90s. I knew a family from the Johnstown area that sent three of their kids to Penn State. They bought a townhouse after the eldest’s first year, back when townhouses were dirt cheap in State College, and the second and third child were both allowed to live off campus with their elder sibling from the start. The family saved a lot of money on room and board and made a nice profit on the townhouse after all three kids graduated.
Rule changes by universities = securing $$$ for universities. If they had space for the sophomores to be in dorms, too, that would be the rule.
I’m not sure how long the rule has existed but definitely since the mid nineties. The example you shared would be allowed today though—living with family counts, and if the parents own the home it’s easy enough to feign residence anyway—Bursar isn’t knocking on doors…
As slush pointed out. Money, money, money. There is a huge, well paid administrative monster at PSU that needs it's subsidies. If enough people were to do the same thing, PSU would most certainly hire housing police to knock on doors.
Do we see this being a trend with access to the RTC’s and online education. More wrestlers graduating online at their future colleges
I suppose if it got to the point that they we no longer cramming 4-6 bunks into study lounges every year as enrollment numbers continue to trend up and up. But I don't think that's likely to happen any time soon...
I agree with you. It won't be happening any time soon.
However, in all seriousness. If PSU were to do a cost analysis and it was discovered that having a housing police force would generate positive revenue, there would be a housing police force.
If I had to guess, I'd say yes. Particularly kids who aren't already at prep or private powerhouses that travel the country to get competition.
