[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding PSU, I don't see how the scandal, $600,000,000 fine and 5 yesr Bowl ban won't have an increasingly negative trickle down effect.  I'm thinking top faculty, research grantors, applicants and athletic recruits will opt to go to their "other" good choice. and in time PSU's reputation will suffer in non-football circles.  [/quote]

the penn-state fine was 60 million, not 600 million....though i'm not sure what lawsuits will extract out of the school as well.

I don't know, i think penn state from 20-30+ years ago would've been screwed.

However I think penn state now has built up the institution large enough to whether the storm.

A lot of psu's strength came from the ability to leverage its unique position as the largest and highest ranked north-east/mid-atlantic public research school. In the north-east/mid-atlantic population center, psu became an attractive choice and that brought recruiters on campus for jobs as solidify it as a top 50-60 school in the country.

I agree with the opposite of your assertion..i think psu's rep in football circles will be screwed because of the bowl ban and recruiting.  I think it'll be ok in academic circles and perhaps even improve since there seems to be a concerted effort by the president to try to focus psu towards academics over football. [/quote]
