    FACTORYVILLE, Pa. — The future of a college in Lackawanna County is uncertain after a letter outlining the college's precarious financial position was sent to students on Friday. "I was a little upset because I just transferred here from getting my degree in information technology, and I was excited because this place is real good, it's a small community and all that. When I heard of the possible closure, I was like, 'Oh, this stinks,'" said Griffin Atkinson, a junior at Keystone College.

Just hoping somebody at @LaSalle_MBB noticed the season @JohnGriffinIII has had. I think he knows a thing or two about The Big 5.
