<p>lol. Pennsylvania State University is not public… it is semi-public. Penn State is, ironically, not a state school, meaning it is not part of the Pennsylvania State system of universities. It has its own president and governs itself as it would were it a private school, but it just happens to get a LOT of state funding. Unlike Bloomsburg, Millersville, etc. Penn State has its own endowment, as do Temple and Pitt.</p>
<p>The more you know!</p>
<p>Also, I would partially disagree with the first two posters on this page. Although the Ivy League is known far more for its academics than for its athletics, that doesn’t discount the idea that the Ivy League shoots itself in the foot by maintaining antiquated athletic policies. Is the Ivy League good overall? Yes. Could it be better in some fashions? YES!</p>
