PSU New allegations

[Ty Webb]

I knew this was coming. It's one of the many reasons I laughed at some on these boards for commenting that the sanctions against PSU by the NCAA were unjustified, unwarranted, etc.

PSU is lucky not to be shut down for a decade.

Me either...bad move.
Of the few that are fighting it, do you know are they new board members or part of the old boy network from when Paterno was there?

IDK, but I'd imagine they aren't part of the old boy network...

One of the loudest and most vocal through the media was elected this summer. The ones that matter on the board were aware of the decision to come to the agreement with the NCAA quickly.

I'm trying to figure out just what in the hell that BOT is thinking by filing suit. Surely these people are aware of what they're facing. This is hubris I've never seen. If it didn't involve child molestation, I might chuckle that it was a sacred Big 10 school acting this way, instead of us football-obsessed rednecks south of the Mason-Dixon.

A PSU booster may be involved.......

I'm thinking that he resigned recently under some pressure...

I understand what you're saying but I disagree. All of it, regardless of offense, should be exposed. Although it sickens and angers me whatever enters our minds is nothing compared to what the victims endure.

I just wish there was a way to punish these people without the all the bad coming out. The back channels are buzzing big time on this one and it is the sickest of the sickest. I have a hard time letting stuff go with innocent, especially children, are involved.

As to the "why" some may be litigating the judgments, it could be that there are some who've successfully avoided due punishment... and there is the knowledge that they have escaped due punishment in this whole tragedy. If that indeed was the case, you've got to believe someone down the road would ultimately expose the entire truth... I'd much rather have it cleansed and done with the guilty paying for their crimes if I'm part of PSU.

I couldn't believe the PO'ed BOT members decided to litigate with the NCAA. That makes it hanging over the program for ten years, versus 3-4 years. Ask UNLV what that does to a program with recruiting...

Am I missing something? I thought they were expected to ratify the decision. Surely they're not so stupid as to do otherwise...

I have heard it suggested that if ALL comes to light in this matter, we will here about LEO's and politicians involved also.
This came from more than one person that was supposedly from Penn State and it was from a non-football forum.

 

[Willis]

Because even after Joe's dead...

not to change the subject but thanks for reminding me that Vernon Reid and Muzz Skillings are 2 of my all time heroes!

Many were wondering why/how PU and the NCAA agreed to such a speedy resolution -- I'm guessing they were hoping they could avoid having any of this see the light of day? Unfortunately if this is true, I doubt there's anything to keep it from becoming public now.

This is the least of his problems as he will already die in prison. If the computers are from his home, saying this is PSU allegations is incorrect imo, as far as Penn State being held responsible criminally, civil or by the NCAA for what Sandusky did on his home computer while not employed by the state.

I'm not clear as to exactly what is going on. You'd think it would take a majority of the BOT to litigate against the NCAA. A minority might have legit litigation against the rest of the BOT, but the NCAA? I actually picked this up off a UM board. Might be worth a second look to see what's actually going on...

let's see a booster to PSU being involved and participating. Yeah I can see how they wouldn't be in involved or in actual trouble.

They are going to keep digging and the more the boosters, alum ,and BOT fight this the worse the outcome for the school. They do not need to worry about the NCAA they need to worry about the state. This is a state school and they could come in turn the school into community college before it is done with no atheltics. All they are doing is making themselves look selfish and with no remorse.

This is probably him and some pedophile online group, not boosters or other employees at the school. The article is not titled "New PSU allegations", the poster added that.

You can't punish them without bringing out 'All the bad'.
This is kind of like a cancer. You can't leave part of it without expecting tragic results.
