If some our our schools ever get to that point ... it would be interesting. Not exactly booming commercial real estate markets in places like Clarion, Mansfield, etc.
It almost makes me think about what these mega Olympic sites look like 10 years after the games.

That's not a lot of money to recoup against the debt burden on the struggling PASSHE campuses.

The reactions from the state rep from Indiana and the other Republicans blow me away. They simply never grasp that spending for education is an investment. If the PA economy needs anything, it needs this. The PA Republicans thinking is so disappointing and misguided.
Having grown up in Lock Haven and attending college in Indiana, I read these local papers online. All you ever see on the pages is about some organization receiving a government grant for this or that and they are so happy. Yet, this grant money to help bad local economies like Lock Haven and Indiana is made possible by Democrats. The locals still vote Republican. Go figure.
Sorry for the politics but it is too intertwined with the topic to ignore.

Cheyney would fetch a nice haul.

I sit on a couple of scholarship committees for my local Rotary Club and have the same argument every year with the Chamber of Commerce office manager. She's one of those all-too-common types these days who basically think college should be some sort of glorified technical school. She simply can't see the use for philosophy, ethics, music appreciation, lit — courses that broaden your horizons and help teach you how to think and communicate. She has a college degree, and I think that insitution failed her as she really doesn't have a grasp of what constitutes a college education. I wholeheartedly agree that not everyone should go to college and I think we need better tech schools for those so inclined.
Then of course we have the unrelenting attack on public schools by those who want to insert the culture wars and their brand of religion into education I have always been foolish enough to think that religion was best left to churches. School prayer would have been a tough call at my elementary school, where 50 percent of the students were Jewish. I think it was Jesus who had something to say about people who make a point of praying in public.

I wonder if that means Cleveland State might get a football team and play at ND's stadium. Cleveland State is getting pretty big.
