The Nittany Lions dropped their home regular-season finale Tuesday night at Jeffrey Field.
For a university that claims to prioritize student safety, Penn State's handling of the "Stand Back and Stand By" event showed anything but that.
Penn State police said it recommended Monday night's controversial event to be canceled as violence escalated.
The event, which was set to feature the founder of the Proud Boys, Gavin McInnes, and Alex Stein, was canceled less than an hour before its scheduled start due to the "threat of escalating violence."
The Nittany Lions' playoff chances largely depend on Michigan's record to end the season.
