Not classy, they're doing everything possible to avoid getting sued by the Paternos. No matter how you feel about it or what the result of the lawsuit would be, a lawsuit between the Paternos and PSU is bad for the school, so they want to do whatever possible to avoid it.

PSU fans are generally pretty cool. I feel bad for the players who were caught in the crossfire. The previous administration and the culpable parties can go to hell though. That said, please beat out Wisconsin in the division!

Everything they gave him was contractually obligated - and they STILL tried to coerce an agreement out of the Paternos to say they would never sue them. When that didn't work, they said we'll name the stadium after Joe, if you don't agree to sue us. Sue told them to goto hell.

This is pure cowardice from the BOT. They realize they made a huge mistake in scapegoating an innocent man and a living legend, someone who means more to Penn State then these idiots ever realized. Rather than own up and admit they made a mistake, they're desperately trying to cover their mistakes. It's incredible really. I never thought my University was this retarded.

have the same feelings exactly ; feel for the folks not involved and that are innocent of the happenings but you know we arent hearing all of the story and for that i really have mixed emotions

Read both your posts, seems that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the power structure, if the right individuals are holding the reigns...

Did I say he was blameless? I said he was innocent. Huge difference. Any error Joe made, were made with positive intentions. He didn't do much follow up after he turned this thing over to Curley and Schultz (he did follow up with McQuery - the only person he had any responsibility over) because he trusted them to do their job, and he didn't want to appear to be influencing the investigation. Was that a mistake? probably, I don't know if I were in his position I would have followed up - but if there's a mistake there, it was an honest mistake, and done with positive intentions. IMO that makes a man innocent, but not blameless.

The people who are NOT innocent are those that refused to do their jobs because they wanted to stop a scandal from exploding.

From what you are posting, this is gonna go a lot further than fire the coach and it'll be covered up...

Bottom line, Penn State - as a university - owes a great deal. We hired an administration to run our beloved University, and they failed miserably in the worst kind of way. This has nothing to do with athletics either. It's actually incredible to think of how clean we run our athletic programs, but how corrupt our administration is. I would much prefer the opposite of that.

A rolling group of elected officials. Tenured profs only along, upperclassmen undergrads. 2 year terms for students, 4 year terms for profs, and that's it you're done. They would be responsible for oversight of PSU admin, and both the BOT and President would have to make regular, public reports to them regarding all on-going activity at Penn State, to include alleged crimes by employees and donations the university has made. They would also vote on any change in the laws of Penn State that were suggested by PSU admin/BOT.

I get it. Cause every Penn Stater is a pedophile! Clever!

I don't know what he would sue for, but clearly the school is worried about it as they offered to name the field after Paterno in exchange for the family not suing them (to which the Paterno family said "screw you").
