Lots wrong in your comments, but I'll focus on the statue. First, the statue was never "re-erected" - its still in storage.  After it was removed there was a small group of alumni that announced a plan to create a new statue that would be placed outside The Tavern Restaurant.  Its never been completed or installed and is unlikely to ever be installed.

This is very similar to the story about the Board of Trustees talking about honoring Paterno a couple years ago, there's a common pattern:
1) A small number of people suggest doing something to honor Paterno (in the case of the Board, it was one guy with Joe's son seconding the motion.  Here it was a small group that announced a new statue would be commissioned).
2) 95% of Penn State fans and residents object to the idea.
3) Folks on Syracusefan get laser focused on Item #1, ignore Item #2 and proceed to lose their minds.   Sometimes the laser focus on #1 isn't even correct information, as appears to be the case here.
4)  We go through the ritual two minutes hate like honorable citizens of Oceania.

Wash.  Rinse.  Repeat.

Its so tedious.
