If any of you ever follow fan boards such as Rivals.com, you'd perhaps see the sort of "deniers" who are hell bent on what they see as their job to come to the defense of PSU, mainly the football program, and at the bottom line, the resultant blowback from fans and alums of other schools has made the University an object of scorn and ridicule.
Penn State is a fine University, one that will have to endure an enormous hit to its reputation for years to come. Sadly, part of that is the result of the reaction that some fans and alumni had when the news broke. I'm thinking it will change the culture in such a small town, and I hope it's for the better.
