It seems a tenet of the faith the PSU is awash in money - more than any others. Does anyone have a reliable source supporting this premise? Any details regarding who contributes money? Where is the spend going?
I've never actually seen anything credible and am curious. I mean the University enrollment is declining, there is a budget crisis, state funding is less than most. The population of PA stagnated as the industrial base declines. Football makes money for the athletic programs but less than Ohio State and Michigan. So it must be mega-rich alums, right? Anybody have any references? Or is it "it must be true 'cause I saw it on the Internet" phenomenon?
