The Lions' Pride

NCAA clearly doesnt care about the victims though they tried using the victim card.

"The NCAA declined to respond to Andreozzi's comments." Of course not.

Corbett did an interview with CNN per this article: http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2013/01/02/gov_corbetts_lawsuit_brings_mixed_responses_across_the_state_of_pa.aspx

What was interesting to me, was this section, which explains Corbett's back-pedaling and filing the lawsuit:

“For more than five months the governor supported the NCAA sanctions,” Neuman said in a press release. “As attorney general he waited years to take Jerry Sandusky off the streets and now as governor and a Penn State trustee he’s wasted months before standing up for this world-class university.”

Corbett addressed these concerns in an interview with Don Lemon of CNN.

“I originally supported the sanctions because I thought to myself, ‘If you belong to an association, you have to play by the rules of the association,’” Corbett said.

However, the closer the commonwealth looked at the case, it realized that the NCAA did not have the authority through the process that they went through, he said.

“I think that the NCAA who set the rules, have to play by their own rules,” Corbett said.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The stupidity behind reasoning is epic. The state of PA has no stake in PSU football. He also thought Spaniers indictment showed there was a clear cover up.

Now that fight is on, seems a number of avenues open up:
1. BoT reviews Freeh Report and determines it is incomplete
2. BoT has an independent legal review done on Erickson's ability to sign and rescinds consent decree
3. Paterno lawsuit

Good to see you perking up a bit today, buddy.

40 hours a week at ESPN instead of 110 billable hours.

I believe the defense can request speeding up the process given the fact that the sanctions are already in place...or an injunction is granted, thus pausing the penalties until after ruling.

Would this be a good idea? If it drags out for years and the NCAA wins, it is possible we have the same problem then instead of now with the possibility BOB is no longer the coach.

Amen to that!!

That's a risk worth taking IMO. If it goes trough the court system it will likely take years so if you plan on fighting an injunction is a must. If not it will just drag out and the program will end up serving all of the sanctions.

I know squat about PA politics, but is this enough of an issue that if in 2 yrs? when he is up for re-election and this is still ongoing, could become a campaign issue that might help him, i.e. the challenger wants to end this court battle but Corbett is here to fight for PSU....I honestly don't know if it would be enough to help but from what is said on here it seems as though he is pretty much dead in the water unless he can find an issue that will bring him a lot more support than he has lost....

Just a thought, but this is so divergent from his previous statements that it is clearly a political ploy. I can't see the NCAA giving in if they think they can just drag it out until he is gone and he can't afford to settle for less than a win as in two years the surge he gets in the next week or two will be long gone. Would stand to reason then that he should expect it to be ongoing when the election rolls around in two years and must see some benefit in doing this.
