Good point about this hit, but I believe that overall integrity and national respect would trump at a university of this caliber. We're not talking about KU here.

Facility improvements (including athletics), scholarships, endowed professorships, etc.
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.
