[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This forum cracks me up, seriously??  There are some really bitter folks out there!  I am a Pennsylvania native and PSU alum.  There may be some residual stigma, however, most people have realized that the scandal had nothing to do with the students.  I have never had an issue professionally prior to or following the scandal.[/quote]

Get your heads out of your asses. What about schools with mass shootings, like Va Tech? Do you think there's a stigma there? Come on. 
I'm a grad and so is my spouse. We've done very well professionally as have some of my friends from there. I won't say everyone who graduated is a success because of course that cannot be said about any school. 
But a stigma? Hell no. 
You've fallen down the DCUM rabbit hole. [/quote]

Sorry, dude, that's a really lame analogy and it makes me question the value of your degree.  Obviously, unlike Penn St. (and seemingly most of its students and alumni), Va. Tech didn't blindly shield and defend an athletic program that supported a monster pedophile.  No one blames Va. Tech. for the tragedy and its aftermath.  The Penn St. stigma is deserved.[/quote]

I agree with this assessment. PSU issues went past the athletic dept to the administration (cover up) all the way to the governorship. To equate VA Tech shooting to what happened at PSU for over 30 years is laughable. But what would one expect from a grad of a cult school.[/quote]
