Penn State should NOT be advertising gambling at football games or elsewhere! This is akin to advertising tobacco, alcohol and gun sales. GAMBLING IS ADDICTIVE. Keep our students and community healthy.

Why do we need predatory gambling? It preys upon the weakest people. It has no place in higher education; kick it out now!

PSU has no place encouraging students to engage in gambling, either online or in-person.

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.

The proposed casino in State College is sleazy at best, and Ira Lupert and associates should be ashamed.
It’s especially should be subject to scorn since he is using his position as a former PSU trustee to forward these repugnant plans!!!

I am stunned, that we are preying upon on our Own children and youth. I have 4 year old daughter, it freaks me out. Like Cigrettes, Alcohol, Cannabis, like Porn, Gambling and Lottery may be Legal but Advertising them to Minors should Stop asap. I still can't beleive we are doing this to our own Children :(

This is a sheer case of money grabbing regardless the cost or ethics involved... the fact the people approving these ad campaigns likely have a role in fulfilling the university's role in shaping young minds and practices is disturbing, as voters we should vote to end public funding of this irresponsible leadership.

As institution of higher education, PSU has to adhere to the values of education. Financial income is important, but not at the expense of disregarding core values of education. As one of the leading universities in PA, PSU has the obligation to set a good example to the other universities.

Addicts provide most of the revenue of gambling operators. Higher education should not partner with gambling companies to exploit addicts.

Penn State has no place encouraging their students to gamble. At the most widely attended events for students, these types of advertisements show little to no regard for student well-being.

Addicting students, many who are children still, to gambling is not what college should be about. When they have lost all they own, they will drop out. Is that your idea of college?

A University should use available research yo make informed decisions about what is for the public good. PSU apparently has not done it’s own homework.

Unreal - where and when does this nonsense end, and is there a moral fiber left in the people who have been empowered to run our highest institutions?
