Since 1 in 20 college students show all the signs of compulsory gambling, which is a totally unhealthy addiction for college students, please do not advertise gambling at your ball games, other sports, or any other avenue.
Penn State's decision to advertise addictive gambling practices is unconsionable for us whose believe in PSU's land grant mission. Nothing could be further from our mission that to enslave students to a lifetime addiction that promotes neither their financial nor physical or emotional wellbeing.
Penn State has devoted substantial resources to educate and set good examples. They impressed me with their forward thinking when they built solar on their campus. Stop promoting and supporting predatory gambling. WE ARE, PENN STATE. WE ARE, BETTER.
I invite you to reconsider your advertising addictive gambling products to Penn State students. They form habits now which will affect their lives, and a gambling habit can undo benefit from the education that you provide.
PSU has no business promoting the state lottery and other forms of gambling to its students. Money paid to the university to advertise gambling does not compensate for the losses and damage done to its students.
STOP advertising to young people on-line betting!!!
We care about students!

PSU is tasked to educate its students. This partnership violates the University's primary mission by enticing students to engage in potentially addictive influences akin to those called out in the widely published Penn State Principles. This is such hypocritical messaging.
