Huge news for the university... I suspect I would be forced to try a LOT harder on the SAT and ACT to get into Pitt today than when I did in the 90's.
Yep, WSJ did the Triponey Story and the rest is the History of Sanctions at Penn State had to change the Culture Of Football due to a Lack of Athletic Integrity!
Their huge branch campus system has watered-down the value and prestige of a UPS degree.
Their diploma is no longer something "special" when any slacker with a high school diploma + tuition money can buy one.

You really need to do your homework on Triponey. Just because the WSJ writes something doesn't make them accurate. Even Freeh didn't buy her b.s. and that's saying something. She is the last person to cite for credibility. She has left a path of power hungry poor performance.

Because it doesn't have a gahd-dam thing to do with FOOTBALL! You post stuff like this on a football board to deflect away from the fact that you are having YET ANOTHER mediocre football season.
Since Pitt does not have an Academic Board, posting information like this is much appreciated.
Although the number of respondents may be small there were 1657 views to this Thread (at present) which shows most Pitt fans/alums are interested in these posts.
For the Pitt whiners, don't open the thread if you are not interested.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!

Normally I throw shade at these rankings, but given my legacy son was just accepted into Pitt Honors College, I'll take it 
That's hilarious. Like you disgusting pedophile-enabling, statue worshiping morons have any credibility at all.
There are literally 100s of stories from your hell hole just like Triponey's....students, staff, faculty, and administrators... who had their careers and reputations railroaded because they dared to show a shred of integrity in attempting to stand up to the Paterno oligarchy.

More selective to get accepted into Pitt Honors as a freshman than half the Ivies.
Thank you for your constructive contribution to the thread.
you are correct. It is another mediocre football season,

Not really Home work, just pure facts with one question to you???.....Now tell me again what Penn State 2012 Reforms have been removed?
I submit they were needed as Freeh Recommended them! Penn State implemented 116 of 119 of Freeh Reforms, all under NCAA Sanction On Campus Monitor paid for by Penn State, and did such a good job reduced the Sanctions? I can link the exact policies as well for your own Home Work to hare on BWI Board and ask them as well?
Again, if there was nothing wrong why did Penn State need the 2012 Reforms as recommended by Freeh and adopted by PSU under NCAA Sanctions?
Not one Penn State Alumnus or Fan Poster has been able to answer that simple question with verifiable factual credibility?
Baylor is now doing the same as Sixty Minutes reported on Institutional Stonewalling on Athletic Integrity, Title IX, and Clery Act Violations to not just protect the Football Team and Culture, but Money Fundraising and Lack Institutional Control?
Excerpts:
The sexual assault scandal rocking Baylor University and its powerhouse football team was far worse than previously disclosed. “60 Minutes Sports” has learned that, since 2011, 17 female students reported sexual or domestic assault charges against 19 Baylor football players. That includes at least four alleged gang rapes. Former Baylor President Ken Starr and celebrated football coach Art Briles lost their jobs. Baylor prides itself on its Christian values and creating a caring community. But the “60 Minutes Sports” investigation found a culture where victims who came forward found themselves blamed for violating the university’s code of conduct, which prohibits drinking and premarital sex..............
............Patty Crawford has years of experience investigating sexual assaults. But nothing, she said, prepared her for Baylor. She was hired by Baylor in 2014 as the university’s first full-time Title IX coordinator to investigate women’s complaints.
She says a lack of cooperation prevented her from doing her job, from which she resigned in frustration..............Keteyian asked Crawford who was responsible for the failed investigation: “Was it institutional failure right up to the highest levels at Baylor? And I’m including the board of regents.”“Absolutely,” she said. “There were a lot of people like me at the university that did not want these things happening and were fighting for it, but they didn’t have the power or the authority and they were not heard. That is institutional.“What drives a culture? It’s the top. And that was the hardest thing for me to come to grips with, was after all of this -- this report was released, after all of this, the discrimination became so clear, even against me. That’s power and that’s control. What is rape about? Power and control.”

Excerpt Two & Video Link:
October 5, 2016, 12:13 PM
For more than a year, Baylor University has been plagued by allegations it failed to handle cases of sexual assault committed by its students. The woman in charge of investigating sex assault complaints at Baylor, the nation's largest Baptist university, has stepped down. Baylor said in a statement that Patty Crawford was "disappointed in her role in implementing the recommendations" from an independent investigation. Crawford and her attorney, Rogge Dunn, join "CBS This Morning" to discuss why she's resigning.

Freeh is a joke. You can't be serious. Anyone that is honest knows that was a sham, as was George Mitchell collecting millions. Freeh is the one who changed his own words from facts, to now just opinions. I'm not the one who did that. Your "facts" of Freeh are now his opinions.
Trippony is an absolute joke, and anyone that's ever been around her knows that. Talk to real students that knew her. There are reasons she was fired.

Well, did you consider maybe PSU Posters on BWI are dishonest and joke that refuse to recognize why Penn State was required to pass New 2012 Reforms and this is just One Policy????

Nope, his Recommendations are now Penn State Official Policies on Reforms that brought Athletic Integrity to Penn State as required by the NCAA, Big Ten, and Federal Department of Education. You lose credibility here if you refuse to recognize the New Penn State 2012 Policies Reforms. What Reforms have been removed? Why were they needed? Did they not reduced the sanctions?
These are FACTS WITH LINKS TO PENN STATE POLICIES and your refusal to read them is a Joke. Please explain to everyone on the Lair which one of these Reforms have been removed, were not needed, and still in place? If you can't then accept they were are in place and you were in error or ignorant of them? If you as a Penn State Fan Lack Integrity how can you expect others to respect your posts?
I enjoy reading your posts even when we may agree to disagree, but you cannot ignore these Reforms were required, needed, and are some of best models for many Universities to follow including Baylor University as we speak.

yes, who would think football related threads would get more responses on the football board...imbeciles indeed!
There is a reason the world thinks you and your ilk are disgusting pieces of shit. And guess what? They're absolutely right.
Yep, because this is much bigger than football and needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Believe it or not, there are things much more important than football in this world. Football is a diversion, nothing more.
So you come on our board to spread your garbage and lies, while we celebrate our #1 ranking as an institution of higher education in PA. I guess your wittle feelwings are hurt because your beloved junior college isn't #1. Take your child rape loving shit somewhere else, pervert.
yes, so is childhood cancer research so I guess we should discuss it with verve and gusto, on, once again, a football board.
