Yup..but I think UPJ could make a better go of it than Clarion or Lock Haven.
If just seemed odd with the billions the main campus is is sitting on…
Penn State uses the extra numbers to assert its reach and influence. Any specialty campus in the PSU system has lost its uniqueness as they've made moves to centralize everything in State College. In the next decade I bet they close or sell off the old law campus in Carlisle and maybe some smaller branches if there's a market for the real estate. They're screwed in places like Sharon and DuBois.

Regardless of what's going on at UPJ, its my impression that athletics are quite the afterthought at the Pitt branches the same way it is at most Penn State branches. The administrative culture at Pitt (and UPJ) is pretty old-fashioned so it wouldn't surprise me if they see the expenses of football and stop there instead of weighing the benefit of an extra 100 students paying tuition who would never have been there. But also UPJ may be tapped on athletic fundraising and football would be a huge burden on that.
I've always got the impression they don't have much of an athletic following -- despite not having much competition in Johnstown.
The UPJ campus is up on the hill and fairly far away from 'downtown' Johnstown. They are really two different worlds. UPJ is the only branch campus that is in D2.
That said, they've had a lot of success in wrestling and their men's basketball team is always competitive. I can't speak much on their other non-revenue sports.
The Sports Center (home of basketball and wrestling) is a nice enough facility for D2. It's the prototype, old school facility.
I can't see them ever adding football but you never know.
I know many people who went there and mostly liked it. Most said it's like a glorified high school experience.

Who knows. It's a weird vibe up there.

I was thinking the same thing. Then I took a look at the team stats and notice he was 2nd on the team in rushing yards along with a team-leading 8 rushing TDs, he lead the team in all passing stats, and he caught a 16 yard TD pass. So he is quite the athlete. If he comes to Indiana Pa, I hope he cut down on his 9 INTs.

If they get these guys (QB and RB) ... Starting to look good for 2023.
I like this guy they got today. He's a hard-nosed, big athlete. They've already signed two stud OL. Things are looking good.
BTW, they may need some volunteers for Spring Ball. Tacking dummy types.
