And yet they've added 50k drones at various diploma publishing factories over the last 50 years that all say they graduated from PSU.
Why does the PIAA play state championships during the school day?
- Thread starter Sean Miller Fan
- Start date
And how many Pitt grads got their diplomas at Greensburg, Johnstown and Bradford?
A factor of 10 less. You're bad at this.
Maybe if you told that well known sophisticated urbanite SMF about the horrible violent crimes and burgeoning Alphabet People scene in places like Harrisburg and York and more and more in Lancaster he might warm up to the location a bit more...
Nevertheless, they're kids who could have gone to Mansfield, Cheyney or California instead.
Wait a minute, are you now saying it's not location related? LOL.
BTW, Pitt's enrollment has increased 2-3k in the last 50 years. PSU's has increased by 50k. That's the reason the schools you mention are struggling with enrollment.
PSU will take their money and print them a diploma, all while ensuring they aren't counted in anything that affects the mother ship's academic rankings.
I got it Jan. Thanks. It's all about location. The PASSHE schools, for the most part, are located in places few kids want to go today. Pitt's and Penn State's branch locations are mostly located in cities or population centers. When does Pitt open its Cranberry branch? What are they waiting for?
the Brady bunch fan is also a huge nitter. Still waiting for his first post on Pitt football
If it was location related nobody would be at your beloved Cow College in the middle of nowhere.
Why would Pitt open a Cranberry branch? That's something PSU would do to print more diplomas for mindless drones. Then off to work at Enterprise rent a car after graduation.
still waiting for your first relevant Pitt football post out of 8K you have done so far
You know that Elton John and the Stones are still touring and still bringing in big crowds, right? And that the only reason that Aerosmith didn't do big business this past year is that Stephen Tyler had to go to rehab (again) and is now ill so they had to cancel a bunch more shows, right?
Bad Bunny made $373 million touring this year, which is the third highest grossing touring year of all time. Note that the top two were both in the 2000s, not in the 70s or 80s. This was the first year ever that all of the top ten tours grossed over $100 million and the top five all grossed more than $200 million.
Of the top ten tours this past year, nine of them played exclusively or mostly at stadiums. That not only never happened in the 70s and 80s, it didn't even come close to happening. Here is the average attendance PER SHOW for the top tours of the past year:
Bad Bunny - 28K
Elton John - 25K
Ed Sheeran - 48K
Harry Styles - 21K
Coldplay - 57K
The Stones - 47K
Chili Peppers - 47K
Def Leppard/Motley Crue - 38K
Kenny Chesney - 32K
The Weekend - 48K
And that's just your top ten grossers. That doesn't even include acts that only played a limited number of shows, for instance Lady Gaga at 30K or Guns 'N' Roses at 40K or BTS at 42K.
Show me one year, just one, from back in the 70s or 80s that a tour that had an average attendance of 30,000 people per show didn't even make the top ten in average attendance for the year.
Touring today is a much, much bigger deal than it was back in the 70s and 80s. Because back in the 70s and 80s bands used tour to try to sell albums, which is where they made their money. Today, bands make just about nothing selling albums (and singles) and they make almost all of their money touring. So they tour a lot more, a lot more often, and in the case of the top bands, for a lot more money.
There’s enough of those on this board. Why not a branch campus in Cranberry? In forty years people will be wondering why there is no institution of higher learning there.
Where are the Steelers and Pitt going to play if they build a branch campus in Cranberry. They need room for Rooney World.
I’m not changing the subject. You’re the one going on and on about Penn State’s branch campuses. Does a UPG degree cheapen yours (assuming you have one, that is)?
Since you couldn't figure it out, I told you why enrollment was down at the other state schools. Your location theory is bullocks, and it's proven by your beloved cow college being in the middle of freaking nowhere. It's a 50k student increase at PSU with branches that are easy to get in to, and hand you the same PSU diploma.
I get it, the empire needs to produce more PSU drones. Just like they plant trolls to police rival message boards. The fact that you live on here speaks volumes.
Your obsession with Penn State is quite amusing Jan. You should go see if Alice will give you a cookie.
Your concession is noted.
A nitter who spends his life on a Pitt board talking about obsession.... That's rich.
You need to work on your self esteem. I’ve never been a Nitter. And your categorizing me as such is both pitthetic and amusing.
I enjoyed a festival at the Washington wild things park this summer
Taylor swift just sold out stadiums so fast people are suing Ticketmaster over it
Yeah, but I was talking about the big rock festivals. For instance there is one in Columbus that is coming back this year that sells 40K tickets per day for three or four days. There is another one in Mansfield, Ohio at the site of the prison that they used to film Shawshank. Again, three or four days, 40K tickets per day. There are big festivals like that all over the country now. They just announced the lineup the other day for one that's at the Daytona Speedway. There's one in Louisville. There's one in Wisconsin. And on and on.
