[quote=desmond]”As background, the football program at Penn State brings in yearly revenue of close to $75 million, with more than $50 million of that in profit.[/quote]I though Penn State was a University, or supposed to have been, a Center of education. I didn’t think it was supposed to be a sports franchise. I also wonder if the sports operating costs of 19.5M included facilities amortization costs.
Either way, I am commenting more on the retirement package and the salary increases (%). Also commenting that effectively, the sports ‘franchise’ was actually in charge of the University, not the University head.
I do think that ‘JoePa’ is being made a scapegoat on the child abuse issue. He did report the child abuse incidents when it occurred, to both his superior and University Police. People claimed that he should have reported it to the State Police. NEWSFLASH: The Police at State Universities ARE State Police. The Police on Campus at UCSD are California STATE Police as opposed to San Diego Police. Pennsylvania State Police dropped the ball (to re-use a coined phrase).
