I'm thinking more in terms of the amount of revenue generated around gameday for the city. It is incredible how much money comes into town 6-8 times a year. So maybe not "gone" but the local economy would be significantly impacted. The school has academic chops for sure and more than one success athletic program. But the impact of losing football would definitely hurt them a great deal and likely harm admissions as well.

The satellite campuses are indeed all over but most are very small. I haven't visited all of them but have been to quite a few as a friend of mine worked at several.

So after 5 years, the impacts on the economy due to 500k plus fewer patrons spending money on campus and off would start to show. Additionally, while academics still would bring in a good chunk of students, the elimination of the football program would begin to take a big bite out of that as well. As we know, PA has some solid options outside of Penn State.
