JoePa, you make piss, at least comparatively

Underpaid, given how much he's given to that campus away from football through the years, whether it be teaching English classes or donating money that went to school museum or the construction of new buildings.

 

I'd just like to point out that this is how all those disclaimers should read. ...

That said, I'm surprised Paterno isn't making at least $750,000. After all, I'm pretty sure the men's basketball coach there is making about that, isn't he?

 

I was just trying to be snarky. Why do you have to humanize it?

Maybe you're an undercover Nittany Lion. Hmmm. Maybe the whole Kansas thing is a sham. Are you a...fraud?

 

Oh yeah. Completely forgot about that. Eh, what can you do?

 

It's a lot of hard work for a measley couple of million bucks a year.[tywebb]

 

The argument is that it's not funded all that much by the public -- 10 percent, maybe 12 percent -- through tax dollars, therefore they think they can act like a private institution.

After all, it's not a "state school," only a "state-related school." So the PSU PR machine will tell you.

 

They might want to think about changing the name of the school then.

 

Penn State-Related University?

 

PSRU. That's got a good ring to it.

 

A fraud? Nah, A Joe Pa apologist? Hell yeah.

Remember, I was born in Pittsburgh, so my college football childhood was split between Dan Marino and Joe Pa, just depending on which aunts and uncles and cousins were in our company at the time.

 

So who did you root for Monday in the Steelers-Dolphins classic?

 

Same team I always do, the one that's going to hand the Patriots their first loss on Dec. 9. ;D
