Just nice bi-partisan Kabuki Theater to entertain the masses.
So why is Corbett, who has been a generally respectable Republican Governor, chiming in with the Paterno Kool-Aid Drinkers in Happy Valley?
Pure politics IMHO. The state is trending back into the blue, and Corbett must stand for re-election in 2014. Ingratiating himself to the Blue-and-White-uber-alles crowd
is simply good politics (even if it is crappy morality).
Who didn’t see this coming?
This is why the death penalty would have been cleaner - no football at Penn State for a decade. Done. No fines.
Having a state school pay fines, when they should have specified 1) that the funds come from the school’s endowment and 2) the funds be spent ANYWHERE but PA.
Why should the locals benefit financially from the rape of children?
NCAA’s response should be, “Hey, not a problem. Penn State football will be back in 2023 instead and you can keep the change.”
The University signed a contract with the NCAA. Don’t see what the governor has to say about it. A contract is a contract.
Glad the see there are no urgent issues that need to be adressed in the state.
Glad to see the governor is focusing on what really matters. /s
This is the tip of the iceberg. The Paterno family lawsuit against the ncaa (coming) will make this look like child’s play. You’re seeing the beginning of the end of the ncaa.
Sometimes we really need to get a grip, and remind ourselves that it’s just a game intended to entertain.
Suing the NCAA on Anti-Trust grounds will make this interesting...and the NCAA will settle out of court instead of risking an anti-trust ruling that would be adverse
The NCAA should have stayed out of the PSU case. Their jurisdiction is limited on criminal matters, and, they will lose the Paterno lawsuit based on the SCOTUS decision in Tarkanian v NCAA from 20 yrs ago
Definitely mud in the water!
Pinger! P.O.E.
