I think that's a pretty safe bet.

I hope someone asks him:
1. Why now? Is this just about keeping the money in PA or are their other goals?
2. Does he plan on returning all the money the Second Mile affiliates donated to his campaign fund over the years?

Packed house.
A whole group of people has walked in behind the podium, including former Lions Trey Bauer, Tim Sweeney, Kenny Jackson, Justin Kurpeikis, Todd Rucci and Mike Lukac.

Press release issued before remarks says "the governor, on behalf of Pennsylvania's citizens, asked the court to throw out all the NCAA's sanctions, including the $60 million fine, and asked that the court declare the consent agreement illegal."

Corbett: "These sanctions did not punish Sandusky or those who have been criminally charged. Rather, they punished past, present and future student-athletes."

Lot of talk about the sanctions.
"NCAA did it because they benefited from the penalties."

"I cannot and will not stand by and let it happen without a fight."
"NCAA cannot make up their own rules."
Saying they forced the PSU president to accept the penalties under threat of death penalty. Saying they aren't following their own rules.

Corbett: "The NCAA's leadership can't make up its own rules."
"A handful of top NCAA officials simply inserted themselves into an issue they had no authority to (sic) under their own bylaws."

"NCAA officials and leaders worked together to take down Penn State football."
"Emmert seized the opportunity for publicity." (like Corbett isn't doing the same thing)
