Uh, no. Enrollment at California University of Pennsylvania has fallen off. It’s led by a clueless interim president and seems to have no plans to find a permanent one, clueless or not. It has allowed its football coach to assemble a team one third of which is in trouble with the law.
Last week, six players ganged up on a man, beat him close to death, and shouted “Football Strong!” while doing it.
So the eyes of the world are upon Cal U of PA. Even in the context of naughty football teams all over the United States, the crowded jail cell that is Cal U football stands out.
The interim president has spent forty years at Cal U of PA. Her entire career. She’s been in various academic and administrative positions there. How can she not have noticed the rather curious recruiting philosophy on the team? The let’s-go-all-out-and-not-even-give-a-shadow-of-a-shit-about-rap-sheets recruiting philosophy? Each one of the twenty-seven current naughty players has a public record, and many of their deeds have been chronicled in the press. Cal U is only a big story now because of the lusty teamwork behind this latest assault, and because, in the wake of the assault, a local news outlet had a reporter actually sit down and do the math on Cal U’s Big Men on Campus.
UD looks forward to details on the classes these guys have been taking. She’s going to guess they’re all clustered in Criminal Justice. If she’s right, we’re in for some fun.
