People should really stop posting garbage without knowledge.

Who cares what the football stadium holds? And most football players who graduate only do so by the fact that most are in some major that requires almost no work. And at many Universities there is considerable pressure on Profs to give football players "passing grades" for eligibility. If Penn State endowment money had been spent on hiring top notch Professors instead of a Football coach, maybe Penn State would rank with Cal Tech or MIT. You say Professors should thank Joe Paterno for their jobs ???? I say again, priorities are out of whack at many Universities.
