    In the fall, Russian troll farms were emailing bomb threats to universities. I've read online that they believe these latest cyberattacks are coming from Iran.
    Western New Mexico was apparently hacked by Russians last year, and it was ugly:

    • OT - NCAA Wrestling Championships

      I know March Madness is happening but the NCAA D1 Wrestling Championships are going on at the Rocket Arena in Cleveland. ESPN+ is carrying every bout, e.g., in the round of 32 right now that amounts to 160 individual matches. They will carry every bout through the consolations down to the championship matches. It's on 8 mats and each one is on ESPN+. If you don't follow college wrestling take a look. The skill level at this level is outstanding. It's not like your old high school matches. And if you went to school in PA there is a good chance somebody from your high school is competing.

        Always used to love to go up to the Pa. state tourney when I was covering high school sports It's quite a spectacle to watch four mats of top-end kids going for it at the same time. I believe I read Pa. has 50 wrestlers participating in the NCAA tourney and the next highest state has 28.

        • In Cleveland, they are wrestling the placement matches for 3rd place now, so all that remains are the NCAA finals which will air on ESPN today at 6:30 ET.

          Penn State has again run away with the team title and they have 6 wrestlers in the finals. In 2nd place is Oklahoma State, let by former PSU assistant coach and wrestler David Taylor. He is in his 2nd year as coach of the Cowboys. Can he overcome his former coach and boss at PSU in the coming years? Time will tell.

          As for the PSAC schools competing, the only points scored came from Wyatt Henson of Lock Haven, who earned All-American status with an 8th place finish at 141 pounds. That enabled LHU to place in a tie with Wisconsin for 37th place in the team standings.

              • Another chapter in West Chester's takeover of PASSHE. Two provosts ago was interim president at Penn West. Last president became system chancellor. Last provost became interim and is now permanent president at Commonwealth. I guess that's better than Hanna.

                  Yeah, so much for diversity, right? But I would want the best administrator and someone who has the potential to lead innovation and someone who has the people skills to lead the diversity of constituencies. He seems to have a deep background. Having run PennWest and WCU is probably a plus.

                  Mainly, I care about IUP.

                    The Penn West interim president is now the permanent president at West Chester. Its a well circulated rumor that was a negotiated part of her taking the PW job.

                    Current Commonwealth president was permanent provost at West Chester before being named interim president at Commonwealth. He's an expert in public administration, which is a plus compared to other academic disciplines, but the jury will be out for some time.

                      There are so many factors involved I think it would be difficult to rate the performance of people in these PASSHE positions. Is the main objective to manage growth, or to manage decline? That's 1 paradox that comes to mind.
