Penn State not just football

Mike Poorman concludes his foreword (a preview for blog readers) with highlights about the success of the Penn State football program...in the classroom.

A chapter opening is spent discussing Todd Blackledge's Academic All-American career and numbers tell stories of other PSU football scholars Scott Radecic and Levi Brown to name two.

That's why today's story strikes a chord with the upcoming book. The football team had 46 members earning at least a 3.0 GPA during the Spring 2009 semester. 42 of those players are returning in the fall -- to continue their pursuit of degrees and a second straight Big Ten title.
