pasaluki posted:I wonder how many educators would lose their jobs without the 90 million dollars the Auburn football team generates? Probably $0. $90 million barely registers on a budget to a major university. Penn State had total operating revenue of $107m and expenses of $88m in 2009-2010. So athletics generated $19m. $21m were to pay salaries of all the athletic department. In 2010-2011 (I can't find last year's budget), PSU spent $4.06 billion on everything else. The university took in $4.3b. $266m were on professors salaries. Athletics doesn't even appear on the budget. One of the biggest dogs in the game, with one of the biggest stadiums on Earth, with a marketable brand, and legion upon legion of loyal fans doesn't bring in half the money they pay out to the education staff.

(You will have to turn on the auto-land). Congratulations, you now have the brain power of a pilot.

Any post in a thread that says "Why are we talking about topic X we need to focus on topic Y!" Look I can focus on eating beef jerky and masturbating because I'm not on the team. Also any use of the word elite.

Kim Jong-Deal posted:I doubt caste has much to say about Paterno anymore. His only successes in the last ten years came from talented black QBs like Robinson and Clark, while the team languished under lovely white QBs like Zach Mills, Anthony Morelli, and whoever they got now. Zack Mills had heart, courage, and determination! The last white option QB in history. Really, I do feel bad for him because he had zero working shoulders and no receivers anyhow.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:I can't tell which type of patsfans.com posts make me At least you have the positive one. I gave up on PSU boards after I realized almost everyone was either "nine wins is a horrible season" or "if the record is less than 13-0 its a disaster of 9/11 proportions." For the NFL guys only, if a college team goes 9-3 its not the best season but half the league would kill to sniff something even close to that. But when you look at the top 10 teams of all time, their average season: 9-3. Actually 8-4 is closer. No one has a .750 all time winning percentage.

The other day, I had to attend this seminar about Federal requirements to write in "plain language." Functionally, this means "write at a sixth grade level, because that's what the American reading level is." Years of internet reading has convinced me that even this may be too high an assessment of literacy.
