Gimme a break.

WVU isn't Harvard or Yale, that's the best argument you can muster? A major university giving away degrees to friends of the university president is a huge deal. It sullies the reputation of everyone at the university or who ever attended, and that's a shame. And WVU's pathetic attempts to cover it up were huge, too.

I'm not a WVU grad or any particular fan of the PG, but this story was a homerun and helped make newspapers relevant again in Pittsburgh, at least for a few months.
