Yup, "cui bono?" is almost always the important question: "as a benefit to whom?" a.k.a., "who profits?"
 
some sports reporter who deals with the ncaa says his experts tell him the 2A won
t pursue.

but another Th points out that the 2A could do it

the reporter still insists it doesn appear likely


well i have news for him...nothing the 2A does "appears likely"
 
board says they are accountable...

The chairwoman of Penn State's board of trustees says the panel "accepts full responsibility for the failures that occurred" in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.

Karen Peetz and other board members pledged to make changes to ensure similar abuse can't go on unchecked in the future. They say the board failed to ask tough questions about Sandusky.

bbm: I think they don't deserve to be the ones to make changes if they were the ones that were culpable to begin with..

seat a new board.

:moo:

and let that NEW board make the changes

Yep, we were following that in some of the earlier threads....I think some of the boys are suing 2nd Mile now and I hope others join in...they should get every penny that is left from that farce and front for JS to abuse boys....and they should sue Dottie too...for not protecting them in her own home....
 
Freeh found no evidence that McQueary's hiring was related to his witnessing Sandusky assault the boy in the shower.
 
Prognistication:
13th of the litigants now suing Penn State is Dorothy Sandusky, represented by Karl Rominger. She is claiming $3MM in specific damages and $20 MM in punitive damages. Sandusky states that by malfiesance, incompetence and criminal indifference the Penn State institution, its administration, and its janitors conspired to deny her husband medical and psychological therapy which would have cured his treatable personality disorder and saved his reputation and their marriage.
She is further suing for her own pain and suffering during many years of anxiety, denial of conubial benefits and having to wear ear plugs to sleep .
 
On Penn State culture:

"One of the most challenging of the tasks confronting the Penn State community is transforming the culture that permitted Sandusky's behavior, as illustrated throughout this report, and which directly contributed to the failure of Penn State's most powerful leaders to adequately report and respond to the actions of a serial sexual predator."

"It is up to the entire University community -- students, faculty, staff, alumni, the Board, and the administration -- to undertake a thorough and honest review of its culture. The current administration and Board of Trustees should task the University community, including students, faculty, staff, alumni, and peers from similar institutions and outside experts in ethics and communications, to conduct such a review. The findings from such a review may well demand further changes."

Penn State's Board of Trustees:

"Once the Board was made aware of the investigations of Sandusky and the fact that senior University officials had testified before the Grand Jury in the investigations, it should have recognized the potential risk to the University community and to the University's reputation. Instead, the Board, as a governing body, failed to inquire reasonably and to demand detailed information from Spanier."

"The Board's overconfidence in Spanier's abilities to deal with the crisis, and its complacent attitude left them unprepared to respond to the November 2011 criminal charges filed against two senior Penn State leaders and a former prominent coach. Finally, the Board's subsequent removal of Paterno as head football coach was poorly handled, as were the Board's communications with the public."

"The Board did not take steps that might have protected the University, such as conducting an internal investigation, engaging experienced criminal counsel, or preparing for the possibility that the results of the Grand Jury investigation could have a negative impact on the University. "

If this suit is filed by Dorothy Sandusky she is as evil as her husband. She ignored what was going on in her own home.
 
I can't imagine what Penn State sponsors/supporters - corporations and/or individuals who generously contribute to the university - are thinking and feeling right now about their donations being used to compensate Jerry Sandusky's victims? The victims are also likely go after Paterno's Estate and anyone else who might have deep pockets and participated in this disgusting, shameful coverup. :moo:

" ...having to wear ear plugs to sleep" ??? ... so she wants 23 million dollars? What am I missing. Let me guess ... she had to block out the screams for help from the victims in the basement?
