I went to PSU. Got a varsity letter there. Didn't play football, but knew some football players well. I didn't go there for JoePa, or even for sports. I went for a comparatively cheap, quality education (University Scholars program ... now, Schreyer Honors College) because I lived in PA. Football was a fun entertainment option ... an excuse to party, socialize and drink ... and yell at/for some dudes running around with a ball, smashing into other dudes. JoePa was a good coach ... seemed like a good guy. Stayed on too long. Got caught up in a huge scandal, and may have been completely not at fault, or may have been in a position to do something more and didn't - of either option, I'll never be certain. But even if he was completely squeaky clean in the scandal, and had gone above and beyond in addressing it, whether or not there is a statue of him, or a building/field/what-have-you renaming in his honor ... just not a big deal to me. I don't hero worship. And if I did, it wouldn't be over a college football coach, unless that guy performed actual amazing feats, like curing cancer or solving world hunger, and otherwise led a life of unquestionable virtue. I like PSU because it was a springboard to a fantastic life, not because some tiny Italian football coach tried to get his meathead players to study mores
