Penn State will be great again. They have to take their lumps but will survive. Ten years from now they will be back to Football and Educating students. People memories are short and I would not worry about Penn State a bit. They will be fine.
Winning football games at the cost of covering up child rape doesn’t make anyone or anything “great”. Heck, just winning football games doesn’t make anyone or anything “great” - other than great at football.
Penn State was never great. If they ever achieve greatness it will be far from a football field.
Just because people pay homage to their false idols every Sunday doesn’t make football God, or football players paragons of any virtue but the athletic.
Now I enjoy watching a game - but I don’t mistake what I see on the field as greatness - just athletics.

Interesting that you separate these two activities! So football doesn’t really have anything to do with the mission of a university does it! So just what is football’s “contribution” to the process of education? Answer: Absolutely Nothing!! Collegiate athletics is just another money pot for professional sports franchise owners that they milk at the expense of the taxpayers. It’s their “farm system” but they don’t have the real expense of it. Just like getting local governments to build them taxpayer-funded places to make money that are called stadiums.
