THE IUP Football Thread

She can probably get into Grove City without a problem. Her post would probably get her a scholarship there.

Grove City is a great college!! It teaches the right stuff these young adults need these days!

There are about a dozen. The two most well-known are Grove City and Hillsdale but most others are seminaries and Bible colleges. Since they refuse to participate in federal student aid or federal research funding (and they're private) they don't have to follow Title IX for gender equity. I wouldn't want my daughter attending a school that refuses to follow federal guidelines for addressing reports of sexual misconduct.

Isn't it also true that those schools cannot accept federal aid as tuition?

Edit: I guess you said that.

Wow, I didn't know that about Grove City.

Grove City is batsh*t crazy but not overtly racist. Yes, they believe the DeSantis "learning black history is anti-white hate" trope, but I imagine even they'd toss a student who posted something racist at a campus event about other students. They're private so they can toss you for this - but also for things like being anything but heterosexual, caught having sex, spending the night with someone, etc. because they refuse to accept federal student aid. It’the dominant social culture because their big donor alumni control that kind of stuff.

Isn’t there a really looney tune small college in the city as well.

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.

What we want to avoid as a society is where people stand up for her and it's legitimized. I'm not sure how far we are from that but it seems like we're getting closer. Let's face it, this young lady is just the tip of the iceberg.

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.

She'd be better off taking a year off then starting new somewhere.

What a shock - good riddance!

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.

From Ashland's schedule release for 2023 it appears the opener at IUP will be played on Thursday night.

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.

Its a GREAT call.

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.
