I must be getting whooshed here.

Once they were finally busted I should have said. SMU got repeatedly penalized by the NCAA for the same thing over and over again. As in not just penalized for the same thing that happened again and again before anyone (who cared) would do anything about it.

I think I intimated it's a pretty weak point, but that is why SMU got the death penalty, and (hopefully) it is not going on with Penn State.

So some kid just has to volunteer a couple more times to make Penn State the fourth best football team in Pennsylvania instead of third best?

Well, SMU is the one that committed violations that are within the NCAA's purview. PSU is the one that violated actual laws and had people sent to prison accordingly.

Not even close. Its like an hour northwest of Philly. I can't even think of a place that you could set Yinzer Prairie Home Companion because its impossibly to conceptualize an idealized Yinzer environment that's still not a complete shithole. Maybe the South Side Slopes, which would still be pretty horrible.

Yinzers that are capable of being college educated are deposited in varying amounts at IUP, CalU, Clarion, Slippery Rock, and Robert Morris. In a way, the act of simply being accepted to Pitt, Penn State, and WVU (and Duquesne, to an extent) eliminates one from being a true Yinzer in the first place. IUP and Slippery Rock are...you know that song Big Rock Candy Mountain? They're like that, except replace everything he's singing about with booze, to a yinzer.

Also, the answer you were looking for is this town.

Hell, people that go there call it that too.

You know how people will say "there's nothing to do there" about some small town? That's actually true with Slippery Rock. There is nothing there. Back in my party at Slippery Rock days, the only places to get something to eat were McDonald's and Subway. Now there's some brewpub, so they have three choices! That campus drank like a 19 on a scale of 1 to 10 too.

I shouldn't say there was nothing to do. I guess you could drive a mile out of town into one of the abandoned strip mines...and drink there.
