When Joe Paterno was around, Penn State had somebody with a conscience on board. Have you no shame?

Encouraging students to gamble is deplorable. PSU should be ashamed of this action.

What is happening to our University? PSU has completely lost focus. I thought PSU was an institution that promoted education and career paths. Promoting gambling, and additional drinking to make money is shameful. I have lost my pride in being a PS graduate.

To those communicating to college-age (and younger) Please consider the consequences of your words. Consider the wisdom of what you say.

Stick to education please!! Don't be a part of pointing students to activities that are not in your realm, and which can lead to destruction.

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.

Isn't Penn State an educational institution? Focus on education NOT gambling and drinking - the current perception by the public of PSU.

Gambling will lower Penn State's Standards. I have two sons who attended. Gambling would taint that pride I have.

I live in State College and the students don’t need these distractions and they don’t need things increasing their debt and anxiety.

I had an uncle who’s life led to severe alcoholism because of his active gambling addiction. Also my daughter’s boyfriend had to seek in-house gambling addiction counseling numerous times.
