Those numbers though...say Edinboro is $22 million. Say Clarion is $18 million. And say Cal U is $12 million. I made the last 2 up but probably close. How can those 3 combine to save $52 million? Even if its $40 million.
Failure seems inevitable.

I think its projections for several years down the road. Which is what the sustainability plans attempt to address and why they were accelerated.

My prediction on how this plays out is a lot of Faculty and some Staff lose their jobs. The 2 pairs of schools merge into 1 school, but keep campus identities. They start to deduplicate services. This process takes a long time. Maybe a decade. Also, due to negative press from merging/financial issues, etc. the student volume decreases overall. But, then eventually increases.
But, the state seeing that PASSHE trimmed all the fat starts to increase funding to levels needed to sustain Universities and make this succeed.

Looks like these two have the inside track to be the next presidents of the new schools:
"Clarion President Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson was appointed to lead the effort that will begin the next phase of exploring the combination of the three western universities, while Bloomsburg President Bashar Hanna was named to head up the group looking at integrating the three northcentral schools."

If approved, the integrations would reduce the system to 10 universities and become the most significant change in its 37-year history.

As for the athletic side it would be safe to say that all athletics would switch to the California campus well at least Football/Basketball/Volleyball. Maybe baseball goes to the Boro/Clarion Campus. As for the East it's safe to say FB & BB would be at Bloom's campus, maybe you throw baseball at Mansfield and leave track & field at Lock Haven.

If sports leave a Clarion or Edinboro ... just seems a matter of time until they become glorified community college (commuter) campuses.
From my perspective, why would anybody go to these schools? Athletics are a major part of campus life. In the West, should this go down, I see IUP and SRU laughing all the way to the bank. They'll get huge spikes out of this merger (of sorts). Do you want to go to the varsity college or the junior varsity college?
I get there are other sports beside football and basketball ... but ... two drive the bus.
