    So would you guys be against having Pitt in the Big Ten?

    Something to consider, but I believe Michigan had more control over Pitt becoming a member of the big ten than Psu ever did. If memory serves me correctly, when the U of Chicago de-emphasized big time football and dropped out of the big ten around 1949-50, I believe the big ten was prepared to...

    So would you guys be against having Pitt in the Big Ten?

    Pitt did not prevent Psu from joining the Big East. As Jim Delaney recently noted in an interview, it was Georgetown, St. John’s, and Villanova who voted against Psu joining the league. Also, not sure that football revenues had anything to do with Big East membership, since it was not a...

    “Phased work begins this summer to advance Bendapudi’s vision, key goals”

    Anybody who has DIE as one of their key goals is not a serious person-but then, psu is likely not a serious institution.

    PSU Academic Metrics

    People need to forget about the concept of the student-athlete since it just doesn’t matter any more when it comes to football and basketball. These kids are now professionals and psu football is not much different than the Eagles and Steelers when you break it down. It’s likely only a matter...

    FC: Interesting video

    Delany gives his view on what started it all with conference expansion. I get the impression he may be trying to take credit for Psu to the big ten when my recollection and the historical record seem to indicate he didn’t have squat to do with it. Also, who knew that Georgetown, St. John’s and...

    So no discussion about Fitzgerald?

    Regarding the AD, maybe he is an adherent to the old saying that it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

    “Glenn Schembechler resigns from post with Michigan Wolverines”

    From my perspective, none of the tweets I saw appeared to be controversial. I’m not on twitter, but the images shown appeared to indicate that media personalities, Jason Whitlock and Dan Bongino (Psu grad), may have been involved in some of the tweeted communications in question. Also, it...

    2022-23 PSU MBB Thread

    Psu is his 5th school - I wonder if he is at Psu for the academics? College basketball is absolute dogshitt.

    NCAA Academic Progress Rankings

    Does it really matter anymore? “College” football is now a professional sport and it is becoming more and more like the NFL with each passing day. It seems to be headed towards players not even having to attend school and only being paid to represent a particular school on the football field...

    what is there not to like about Coach Franklin???

    As the coach of one of the 3 main professional football teams in Pa, Franklin is to be judged no differently than the head coach of the Steelers and Eagles and is only as good as his win/loss record - nothing more nothing less.
