not really - there's a reason why psu's endowment sucks.

A quick Google search shows a $1.8 (main campus only) - $3.5 billion (systemwide) endowment. That's one of the highest endowments for a state school.

do you realize how many psu alums there are? the giving rate is terrible and considering how much 'support' psu gets from its rabid fan base, that should tell you everything.

1.8 is low for a flagship school.

university of washington for example is from a state that has half the population and has a billion more.

and uw grads are not as cultish about their school. i just used uw as an example.

It is not "low" for a flagship school.

It's embarrassingly low. Pitt's endowment is bigger. So psu isn't even #1 public in its own state.

Higher are: Purdue; Michigan; Mich St; UNC; Washington; Minnesota; Wisconsin; Texas; Texas A&M; Pitt; Ohio State; UVA.

There are probably around 100 schools that are commonly referred to as "flagship" state schools. PSU is much closer to the top of that list than the bottom. And endowment is mostly just a measure of alumni wealth.

Alumni wealth is a reasonable proxy for the quality of the academic institution but endowments are also closely tied to alumni satisfaction. There is a reason that rankings factor in the variable of alumni giving and they consider percentage not raw dollars.

Yeah, just one more commendation on your trolling skill. My personal favorite response was where the apparent Penn grad attached the separate web sites. I envision him as a big law partner about to have a stroke over this ("my goddamn brother-in-law went to Penn St. and I will NOT be associated with that school!!!")

I don't know about PSU, but many football schools fund raising is done through the football program. The administration basically begs them for funds. I know LSU is like this.

umm that's the point. the PP at the very beginning of this quote thread stated taht PSU alums are very successful at making lots of money. and you have just proven that is not the case.

which is all the more reason to use psu's endowment as proof of psu's lack of ability to churn out successes. PSU alums for the most part are over the top in their vocal support of their institution. the fact that the endowment is poor means they don't have the means to translate that cringeworthy support into real financial support.

Their endowment is not "poor." It's one of the highest endowments for a state school in the country. There are countless state schools that literally have 1/50th of what PSU has. And most big football schools have alumni that are "over the top" in support of their school.

Penn State is a marginally successful football program with a school attached to it. The team only has 2 championships and is the universal symbol of child abuse but is valued well above the school attached to it. The state would give away the school before the disgraced and average football program.
