Great job with this. As time goes by, too many people forget the truth. One small detail, the answer to #1 is either D or F or both.
 
Genius. How many of us would love to give this simple and concise quiz to Cultists we know... or even more likely and poignant, folks we know who simply just don't want to think about it. Don't want to go "there" when the place that they loved - the good and secure and special and, if admitted, no-where-else-like-it-in-my-life PSU - was now being proven to be fraudulent.

Maybe they weren't Paterno idolizers, but they were probably at least "We Are...!" enthusiasts. They felt special because of going to PSU. The culture ensured that... not just a culture of football (noting that it was the ceremony that bestowed their uniqueness), but a sense that things up there in State College were a cut above everywhere else.

We Are!!

All of that blew up in 2011/12. All of it. If you're not to up to a wholesale battle to the death to prove it was all real and righteous (Franco and Anthony Lupertozzi, et al), at a minimum you're probably going to just keep quiet. That's how 91% of Alums want Paterno to be honored going forward.

Exactly, people have to realize this university was a middle of the road craphole before they rallied around the football program in the 1970s. If this house of cards was truly exposed for what it was, it would not only be a blight on their athletic department but the entire foundation of The Pennsylvania State University. Now Pitt was founded on research and science, saving lives through vaccines and advancements in surgical procedures. I'm proud of this, for the non-alumni that don't care about this stuff I'm sorry to hear that.
