Penn State football is huge. They have one of the 3 biggest stadiums in the nation in a very isolated part of the state. Two hour traffic jams in every direction on a Football Saturday.

As far as academics trumping athletics, they are just ordinary people. I almost got lynched for giving an exam the first day of buck season.
I went to a private university and people do the same shit. That's not exclusive to Penn State. The rankings and respect for their research is extremely strong for a public university. It's a very good academic institution, especially given it's size and generous in-state tuition rates.
