Anyone think Dish Network got an early heads up on this story and that's why the PSU couch cushions disappeared in Saquon's commercial?
I've seen the commercial several times and "Go state'" in white on blue pillows has been on the sofa every time. 🤷‍♂️

Ok so why in gods name would a law school - much less this one ranked 168 of 197 - have a broad based scholarship fund like this. Law schools are revenue centers, not cost centers.

my working assumption is dad has funded it and, well, you know how fickle cash flow can be.
Was that TIC?

Most laws schools are bleeding money fast - and generally heavily subsidized by other parts of their various universities.
(Including, of course, PSU's law schools - which is why they were going to be "restructured" (like the CWCs :) ) - until politics got in the way).

In my eyes selling potentially lethal cocaine to the student population is a much more heinous offense than what Sandusky did. Why aren't the University President and other officials fired? They were asleep at the switch for years.

Wait, is everyone still hand wringing over some kids dealing, stealing, snorting, chorting, bumping, rumping, and rubbing blow over their gums?

Apparently the season can’t start soon enough. Also, apparently, nobody overdosed from this criminal enterprise.

Word of advice to everyone thinking about folding, packing, weighing, dicing, distributing, bumping, chumping, transporting cocaine or any other illegal drug not found on the counter of your locally owned convenience store gas station that is more of a one off than chain and heck, let’s include the chains as well because everyone is in the business of selling unregulated drugs in that line of work……..if you are going to deal and do, don’t get caught. Else wise, you may end up the focus of seven pages of succinct and expert analysis from the experts on the TM Board.

Now let’s all get out there and have a wild Friday and remember……

if you drop your pill bottle while behind the wheel, just leave it roll under the seat until you stop.


If you got bad news,
you want to kick them blues, cocaine
When your day is done,
and you want to run, cocaine

I wonder if they cancel the season the way some are carrying on like this is impacting their lives so harshly. The fact now that someone is saying out loud that grooming and molesting kids through a children's charity isn't as bad kind of takes the cake. These young men gambled they wouldn't get caught and now will pay a price....but they knew it was wrong so I really don't see why anyone is upset by this.

And how do we know the stuff they sold didn't kill someone?

Comparing some kids dealing grams of blow to college kids having fun, to some monster that ruined the lives of an untold number of children, ruining their lives forever, is just so out of touch.

Gosh they may have killed someone.

Good Lord.

Yeah, the thread is officially off the rails.

We don't know that at all. What we do know is what I actually commented on. I'm not patting anyone on the back here, but children being groomed by a monster versus college kids using their own money to buy drugs....unless something came out where they were being forced to take the drug....it's really not the same thing.

There is no trophy for drug dealing or molesting kids was kind of my point, but apparently you seem to agree with someone who wants to pretend they are the same thing or this was somehow worse. How the same group of people here can tie everything back to Paterno or them being a victim in other people doing criminal acts is pretty absurd to watch IMO.

People do stupid crap everywhere, but this constant victim mentality is a joke here.

Like the "victims" of the dealers did not know the risks. Comparing the two "scandals" (why we care that much about the coke ring is beyond me) is ridiculous.

Kilos of blow. 1000 grams each trip.

What about a punch in the side of the head?We don't know that at all. What we do know is what I actually commented on.

My first thought when all this came out was why the Feds wouldn't take this case to send a message, but it doesn't appear they actually recovered enough drugs to make it worthwhile. In reading the presentment, they only recovered 73.8 grams of cocaine from Robinson through controlled purchases and the search of his room. I'm sure they have bank and Venmo records, but no indication of any cash, drugs, or packaging material recovered from Abbatiello.

Given how quickly Robinson gave up info, I wonder why they didn't or were unable to use Robinson, Huraibi, Zeepvat or Zanella to make controlled buys off of Abbatiello, especially since they waited to file charges and Abbatiello was still allegedly selling as late as February of 2026. Or better yet, use them to set up the NY dealer. The Philly dealer apparently wised up and stopped working with Zeepvat.

For Robinson's dad, do they have the safe/drugs, proof that dad disposed of the safe, or any way of proving that he knew there were drugs, cash or other evidence contained within? There are a lot of unanswered questions.
