Re: Nittany Lions football helping Penn State University

According to this story, Penn State has seen undergaduate applications spike 13.2% this year and graduate applications increase by 11.7%. The reason given by Penn State president Graham Spanier may surprise you: "It probably didn't hurt... that we ranked third in the nation in football." Can football success really lead non-athlete students to choose your school? I find it surprising, if not a little sad, that Joe Engineeringmajor would pick PSU simply because they had a good football team.

Re: Nittany Lions football helping Penn State University

Well if these students are big football fans they may pick PSU over say Penn. It only makes sense to me!

...not that this is a good thing...
