<p>A potential side effect of The Scandal:</p>
<p>1. Sales of Penn State apparel <a href="http://www.tennessean.com/article/20111121/BUSINESS01/311210038/Scandal-hurts-Penn-State-school-brand" target="_self">might be down</a>, but there are still millions of Penn State fans out there, and most of them own T-shirts, game shirts, hoodies, et cetera.</p>
<p>2. A significant number of Penn State fans will be inspired to ditch some of their apparel. Some will go in the trash, but much of it will be donated to charity.</p>
<p>3. When Americans donate clothes to charity, much of it <a href="http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/tshirttravels/film.html" target="_self">makes its way to Africa</a>.</p>
<p>4. If all of that is true, there will soon be a significant uptick in the number of PENN STATE and HAPPY VALLEY items being shipped to Africa.</p>
<p>5. Assuming that many of the recipients of these clothes might be unfamiliar with American institutions of higher learning — and the Sandusky scandal is probably not in the news in their countries — then the brand "Penn State" will have increased visibility (benignly) in the eyes of Africans.</p>
<p>6. If increased visibility = higher status, then it is highly possible that Penn State will see an increase in interest from African citizens in the coming years.</p><xhtml:img xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/popcesspool/home/~4/0DeoOBFLxCw" height="1" width="1" /></div></content>
