Ah yes, the two meaningless lifelines that these bloodsuckers cling to for reelection.
Did they formally accept those two things? I guess not. Are those two things still hammering us? Um, yeah. That's like saying, "hey guys, I'm getting beaten with a two by four, but I didn't formally accept it, so it really isn't happening!" They aren't doing jacksquat about either of those things. In fact, if I remember correctly, shortly after the Freeh Report came out they did a straw poll and it would have been accepted by most everyone on the BOT.

I literally LOLed on this one +100

Here's another article about the Spanier/Curley?Shultz trials. The professor that they quote in the article is actually one of the professors I have at school. I'm gonna ask him next week what he thinks about the case. I'll let you guys know what he says.

Decent read but nothing truly new in the article. It will be interesting on how this plays out and just as importantly the reaction. After reading the article it appears that the case can be dismissed on technicalities (if that's what we call constitutional rights) for lack of legal representation and Balwin violating attorney client privilege. Certainly it appears their rights were violated and the case should be dismissed.
Unfortunately though this is a case I was looking forward to for a certain amount of the truth to come out. Without the actual trail and details coming out, I think public perception would see this as a continuation of not allowing the truth to come out.

Once the charges are dropped those 3 will want to clear their names. They'll be all over the media telling their side of the story. I don't know if that counts as "truth" but it's better than nothing.

I read articles where 3 different former NCAA infraction committee chairmen said the NCAA should stay out of it. Probably why Emmert just decided to skip the committee all together. The Freeh report was just a bad idea all around. I'm sure some of his recommendations were worth while; but we really aren't any closer to the truth after it was released.

As much as I hate to say this, getting a report on the situation was not really a bad idea.
The bad idea came when the BOT made it public, when they made it public before they looked at it, etc. The goal of the Freeh Report should have been to figure out what Penn State can do to prevent this from happening again, not to assign blame. The idea of the Freeh Report was good (assuming they wanted it for future prevention recommendations), the implementation was horrible.

"Just when we thought the NCAA couldn't be more dysfunctional, along comes more proof offered by its own convoluted processes."

Not trying to stick up for the NCAA but in court you are allowed to basically argue as many alternative theories as you want. I know it's ridiculous that they would argue the exact opposite thing in 2 different cases but that's how the legal system works.
