The Lions' Pride

Ha. You mean someone actually read all the pertinent documents, knew the laws, bylaws and processes, and made an intelligent document containing those things. That is just silly talk. (insert sarcasm)

Yep, Paternos and former players (if they can show standing) can attack vacated wins for football team. Paternos can show impact on value of Paterno name/reputation and merchandising as harm done by vacated wins. No reason for the state to go after this issue if the thrust of the suit is to address current and future economic harm to University and state.

well presenting a case of the hypocracy of the NCAA better helps the state's case.. these points are all things that the NCAA took explicit sides against or for pressing sanctions against those schools. i hope this court case gets as much media attention as the actual scandal bc this thing could get ugly for the NCAA.. their response was weak and they know they are in trouble..

For the lawyers on the board.
How long until this is heard in court?
As far as the commonwealth's filing of this case, how long does it take to put a case like this together?

If they win, the NCAA will be responsible for the state's legal cost.

i would think the governor of PA would be able to get this to trial quicker than a retired NBA player.. But from doing some reading, part of the reason the trial has dragged on is bc obannon has ammended the complaint..

I think of how quickly the the MLB case made it to the supreme court. I'm hopeful this will have a similar time table..

It will never make it to court, IMHO. It will settle. Too much as stake for the NCAA. They want nothing precedent-setting here, and there is a lot of legal gray area they've been treading. (I'm not an attorney but work closely with attorneys on some hearings and such).

Call BS all you want. I have read as much in a few articles months ago, one of which was from a quote from a coach.

The NCAA limits how many scholarships can be given in a specific sport by gender (see link). Title IX requires that you give out "equal proportions" to females and males. The NCAA does not require that you give out at least X scholarships if you have Y sport. They are maximums, not required scholarship quantities. Taking 20 ships from the football team and not moving them elsewhere would throw off the Title IX requirements.

Oh my..this goes against everything Mr. Emmert is forcing the public to accept
What about considering what the victims think Markus?

Old Emmert never cared about the victims. He is about publicity, power and money. Hope that guy gets what he deserves one day.

Yep, they really care about the victims:

"The NCAA declined to respond to Andreozzi's comments."

cbrennansports: The most embarrassing day in #PennState scandal is today, because of #Corbett. My @USATODAYsports column: http://t.co/C08z9Ler #NCAA

She's the worst.

Holy hell! She is a moron if she thinks this is anywhere close to an embarrassing day. Today is a good day and far from embarrassing. This day should have never had to come but the NCAA couldn't stay out of matters that had nothing to do with them.
