How the fuck is this “sad”? You do realize that PSU is still one of the top public academic institutions in the US? Perhaps the alumni realize the importance of maintaining the academic reputation of their school in the face of this tragedy/heinous act and ensuring current and future students have the same opportunities they did.
The school is more than the football program.

You’re an idiot. Alumni support the university that helped them launch their careers. Maybe they wanted to support an institution that was being universaly maligned because of the actions of a few people.
How about mentioning how “sad” it was that PSU alums raised $500,000 for victims of sexual abuse in a week?

Also, did you even read the article?? That is a serious question, and I anxiously await your answer.
“The school has said that private donations, tuition dollars or state appropriations will not be used to pay for legal fees, consultants or any other costs associated with the Sandusky scandal, which has, through the end of April, totaled $11.9 million.
The school isn’t deviating from its overall goal of raising $2 billion in the current, seven-year fundraising campaign that began in 2007, Kirsch said. Including the most recent $208 million figure, about $1.6 billion has been raised for that campaign.
“Keep in mind we are not only dealing with the crisis we’re still going through, but we’re dealing with a tough economic environment still,” Kirsch said. “In that context, I’m not real surprised, but I’m very grateful for” the donations.
Separately, Penn State reported $223 million in new donation commitments, down 37 percent from the previous year. Kirsch said that was expected given the size of Pegula’s gift, and a big fundraising push by the school related to that donation.”

There is nothing wrong with self-serving charitable donations; just don’t try to claim them as altruistic gestures.

Police seized cocaine, heroin, LSD, Ecstacy, hallucinogenic mushrooms, hash, marijuana, nitrous oxide, bath salts, guns and cash at this weekend’s Phish concerts at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, and a woman, while naked, was injured after she climbed and then stepped off a light post in a parking area

It is great that you gave $$ to PSU. They are going to need that money, so that they can give it to the engineering department, scholarships etc, because they won’t be able to give as much to the engineering department, give out scholarships, etc as they normally do ….. because they are going to have to pay a lot for lawyer fees and settlements.
Penn State’s costs for legal counsel and consultants stemming from the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse case were $11.9 million as of April 30, university officials announced today.
http://triblive.com/news/2125244-74/university-costs-legal-sandusky-million-curley-president-retired-schultz-case
That’s 12 million dollars just for legal fees when they weren’t even the defendant and there was still about 2 months left in that trial. I wonder how much PSU will spend to settle and pay lawyers when PSU is the defendant in many civil suits. Perhaps $208 million dollars.

2. When you start to notice the symptoms, give your boss a decent excuse, and leave for the rest of the day. REMEMBER: play it cool.
3. Head home, remove all of your clothes, and wait patiently
4. When the superpowers start to reveal themselves, take note of all the changes your body makes.
5. Begin thinking of an appropriate new name for yourself, preferrably one with few syllables and that will look good on the front page of the paper. This is also a good time to start thinking about a wardrobe/outfit.
6. Make a list of the supplies you will need to start battling evil-doers.
7. HAVE FUN! Not everyone gets to be superhero, transformed by some purple liquid that ultimately turns out to be some low-grade radioactive fluid put in the subway to combat the growing rodent problem!

Ask George Allen if “1 word” can have a lot of meaning. It’d be easier to dismiss if it wasn’t such a bad calculation on your part. You try to marginalize our appropriately placed confusion/frustration/mystification by showing us “hey dudes, it was just one word, and look how far down the page it was!”. That, sir, is a cop out. We merely asked for an explanation to your “1 word”, which conveniently for you is the most charged word in the roundup and the “1 word” that happened to elicit the greatest volume and most impassioned responses.

We merely asked for an explanation to your “1 word”, which conveniently for you is the most charged word in the roundup and the “1 word” that happened to elicit the greatest volume and most impassioned responses.

And, if you don’t want to donate to the “school” itself, you can always donate to the Penn State Dance Marathon. Penn State Dance Marathon is the largest student run philanthropy in the world and benefits the children’s cancer ward at Hershey Medical Center.

For the record I’m a PSU alumni. I haven’t donated, because I’m broke as fuck, and in part because I don’t like the way the alumni association traded on Paterno’s name during the whole thing. But to say that it’s “sad” that donations are up – while of course ignoring the bit about the hockey funding being a massive chunk of it – when they fund things like scholarships, research grants and endowments, fellowships, dorm construction, and all the other infrastructure necessities that PSU needs to have have money for when they’re facing a 30% cut from the state government, is moronic and borderline immoral.

i come here for lisk posts and the comments, and the occasional CRM and TSH post.
I’d come more, since I really enjoy all those guys too, with one caveat. The frequency of the posts is an important feature of the site, that drives traffic and keeps energizing commenting. McTibble defines quantity over quality… and I’d hate to see Eifling have to climb down from his penthouse in Chicago and have to associate with us paeons to fill the void. That would be a shameburger.

today on cold call mondays…PSU donor!
TBL: thank you for taking the time…im jason mcintyre with the big lead.
donor: pleasure’s all mine.
TBL: HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT, YOU MONSTER?
donor: on a serta comfort spring mattress in a mcmansion, like everyone else that can afford to donate to an athletic department.
TBL: not really.
donor: yea, but they’re all gone and if we want to reclaim our prestige, it’s going to require some resource donations from those who care.
TBL: I HAD SEX WITH YOUR WIFE.
donor: my wife’s in a coma.
TBL: damnit hernia, hang up the phone. i told you to stop provoking PSU fans.

I want to be on the record that I am about 1/100th as outraged by “psu fundraising = sad” as I was when TBL tried to say that he was stoked about Tebow to the Jets purely as a Jets fan, and not for EIC reasons. 1 week he defends Sanchize, next week he likes a move that is a sure bet to cause a qb controversy. That was a page view call all the way, and I don’t mind that… Just don’t say you love it purely as a fan.
