<p>Penn State has always had a focus on academic quality. I’m sick of people saying it’s just a football school. It never was and never will be. I just watched the video of the players reaffirming their commitment to the team. I understand that some will leave. But I’m so proud of how the guys who are staying are sticking together during very tough times. </p>
<p>I think the players are going to stand by their team and the students are going to stand by their school. It’s going to be a tough time financially for the whole university, but I’m glad to see the actions of a few people haven’t hurt their spirit and determination.</p>
