This story rubs me the wrong way

File this under the heading: "Things Funnier Than Stuff I Make Up." According to the Penn State Daily Collegian

Penn State Police confirmed today that they have filed charges against Nittany Lions basketball player Stanley Pringle in an incident involving public masturbation that occurred last Thursday in Pattee Library.

Police said Pringle, the team's point guard, sat behind the victim in the stacks section of the library, attempted to start a conversation with the woman and began masturbating.

Well...that's certainly one way to meet women...at the library. Obviously, this is a story that's way, way, way into DeadSpin's wheelhouse. The comments are a complete riot; however, the language (predictably and deservedly) gets rather salty.

I personally think that this speaks volumes about the quality of student life in Happy Valley. More accurately, this speaks to the problems of student-athlete life. What sort of self respecting hoopster gets arrested in a library? Much less for taking care of his own business.

I weep for PSU.
