Very happy that the IUP community so quickly moved against such a hateful statement by this student. We all know IUP isn't exactly the liberal indoctrination center some think it is - nor are the surrounding communities - so its nice to see folks call out and hold her accountable socially. My hope is that she honestly thinks about what she said and learns something - not just that she shouldn't have said it.

As it should be, that issue is still a major issue on campus.
That young lady is very fortunate she wasn't physically harmed immediately after the basketball game (as she was obviously followed out of the building by those filming her).
I don't understand the world of Snapchat but that's apparently where her post was made. It quickly went viral within the KCAC student section and they (angered students) were able to quickly trace it back to her (while she was at the game). Her name went public within minutes.
So, yeah, she was done here. She looks like your typical little preppy white girl. I'd assume she'll just transfer within the system and hope her story doesn't follow her.

Short story: a recent game was sponsored by offices as part of Black History Month programming. For this game, they played Lift Every Voice (referred to as the Black National Anthem). A female student at the game posted on Snapchat a pic/video with the caption "You n****** don't deserve your own national anthem".

IUP has offered former West Florida RB Hargrove.
He's a burner.

This won't be popular with the bingo crowd but it's a great call by IUP. Night games just have a different vibe at Miller Stadium. If memory serves this will be the first night game at Miller since the Millersville visit in 2018.
IUP played Ashland at night to open the 2017 season ... the famous walk-off 47-yard FG.
One of the things Slippery Rock does really well is playing all evening home games until the weather cools. That brings out people - but requires a ton of buy-in from people whose job requires them to work a Saturday afternoon/evening.

What else do they to do on a nice September evening?

Tell you what, IUP doesn't talk about it but that hockey program has a big following. They easily get more in the gate than all the non-revenue sports and may even do better than women's basketball (occasionally).
I go to several games a year. They are fun, lively and entertaining. IUP's D1 Club team is pretty good. You don't get all the pettiness found at a typical IUP event. I used to call it the best kept secret in town but it's not any more.
They may get 500-700 (or more) in there tonight. For comparison sake, the average PSAC men's basketball teams draws about 250. IUP men's basketball is getting about 1,800 on average.

It oddly may work in Indiana. This is a big hockey area.
The Johnstown Tomahawks are priced as if they are in the NHL (and parking is a disaster provided you don't get mugged in the meantime).

There is no Division 2 hockey. They would have to petition to play Division I (what Mercyhurst does). But I can tell you that hockey is VERY expensive when you don't own ice.
