The second visiting athlete in as many weeks has turned to Twitter to take out their frustrations about competing at Penn State. By now, you've probably heard about the story of Stephanie McCaffrey, the Boston College Women's Soccer player who made Sandusky scandal jokes on Twitter that ultimately led to her suspension from the team and the deletion of her Twitter account.

His brother Pat, who also played at Penn State from 2005-2008, sent this letter to The School Philly on behalf of his family.
While former Penn State President Graham Spanier was likely busy sun bathing in the Bahamas or hiking the Alps, playing the washboard and doing magic tricks for natives of lands far away on his one year sabbatical, he was also taking home a hefty paycheck from the university.
