16 Arrests? Just Call Us Criminal-U « Victory Bell Rings | A Penn State Nittany Lions blog

So Sports Illustrated just ran that article about criminals at division I college programs.

Does it really matter?

No, not really.  I mean, there are too many factors involved, and I think you also have to look at how all the criminal records were committed etc.

For example, most of the 16 convictions against Penn State are alcohol related.  Despite Penn State's reputation as a party school, the cops are very strict, underage drinking and other alcohol related offenses are treated harshly when found.

If a school does not have a good relationship with its town, or even if the police are more strict than in other places, then yeah, there will be more convictions.  It's just a matter of execution.  Some places look the other way on certain offenses.

Whatevs, rambles.  'twas probably a fluff piece to begin with.
