Jake Corman had the ncaa and the University administration (the other enemy here) about to be hauled into discovery.
...of whom are the NCAA and the PSU administration the enemy...?
...please be specific...
Corman is the state legislator that sued the ncaa to keep the $60M fine in the state of PA. The ncaa fought this tooth and nail until a judge basically agreed with Corman.
Once the suit was given standing, the scope was enhanced to include the “consent decree” - it’s origin and it’s legalities.
The ncaa (yesterday) admitted that they had given up that fight, and PA could keep the money in state. Corman countered with “not so fast” - what about this consent decree?
This is a settlement of sorts. Mitchell is irrelevant (the Maytag repairman is busier than someone looking for problems within the PSU athletic department). He was just another part of the theater.
As to the administration? They WROTE the consent decree. They VOLUNTEERED for these sanctions. For proof of that to come out, alumni would be even more disgusted with their post 10-9-11 actions than they already are.
