False. You are talking about the wrong school.

Another dumbshit who doesn't know Penn State and UPenn are two different schools.

I'm from PA and have a lot of friends who went to Penn State. It was a little awkward for them right around the controversy (of course everyone was constantly asking alums for their stance on Sandusky)....but now, not anymore.

They think pretending it never happened will work. But it was an atrocity and that is a "never forget" event. The perpetrators always force themselves to forget but everybody else doesn't .

You are talking about the actions of one guy. Sandusky. A few more if you allow yourself to believe the conspiracy theory - but let's say it's true for the sake of argument.

There are a million living Penn State graduates in the world. You are focused on four. There are successful Penn State graduates in every walk of life and every profession. They are not all diehard football apologists.

This thread was about a stigma - there is no stigma at all in the professional world. None. Nobody is getting passed over for a job or fired from their job because the are a Penn State graduate. In fact it is quite the opposite. Penn State graduates thrive, just like many other schools - they aren't living with their heads in the sand over a controversy that doesn't involve them. The Wall Street Journal has, twice in the past five years listed Penn State as the school where recruiters would most like to go for talent. The Penn State brand is about much more than football.

Penn State overcame a scandal that would have cratered most schools and it is thriving - stronger than ever.

Not quite. UPenn is the Philadelphia campus. Penn State what most people call the College Station campus, although there are also branches in Erie, Altoona, Brandywine, etc.

You're delusional. Penn State is a mediocre school with a reputation for having a cultish student body that is incapable of open and honest dialog about a subject as important as child abuse. The stink of Sandusky extends to the community that enabled his behavior and defended those that chose to look the other way. Shame on all of them. And how can you say there is no stigma when half the posts on this thread indicate the exact opposite? Typical penn stAte grad.

One guy? What about all the others who tried to cover up his actions?

UPenn is the University of Pennsylvania -- a totally different school.
