1. excerpt:

The Course

“Joe Paterno, Communications & The Media” is an examination of the shifting relationship between Penn State football coach Joe Paterno and the media, and the resulting communication goals, methods and avenues of both parties over the past 66 years.

The course will analyze Paternoʼs use of traditional and non-traditional communications, including non-sports related avenues, and both internal and external mechanisms.

Students will examine the growth and use of reporting styles, messages, delivery mechanisms and audiences of various media, such as the Web, newspapers, books, magazines, commercial and public television, radio, networks, social media, public appearances and public relations, as they directly relate to Paterno.

6. oh for fuck's sakes.

this sort of clownishness should be in a private or religious school, not a public school.

To think I wasted my time teaching college students finite math and political science, when I could have told them about fucking football coaches hanging out with their sports reporter buds.

It's bullshit like this that makes me wish public schools would be more like Columbia, and get rid of sports completely.
