If you think that this event will not tarnish the school to the point they will lost funds, alumni support, and potential students--then you need to really look at this again. Many of us are disgusted by what happened and the fact that nothing was done for these victims sickens us.

As a Virginia resident and wife of a very proud Hokie graduate, I can emphatically tell you NO. THERE IS NO COMPARISON. A trusted coach and authority figure did not shoot those students and professors. There is no shame in being part of the Virginia Tech nation.
There should be no shame in being part of the PSU nation, as it was one individual, but that seems not to be the case at this point for many.
