Penn State Trustees To Appeal Penalties From NCAA
by Chipper10 08-06-2012, 05:02 PM


At least four Penn State board of trustees members intend to file an appeal Monday afternoon with the NCAA over sanctions levied against the university after the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal because they say the NCAA did not give the school due process in meting out its punishment. Trustees and a person with first-hand knowledge of the discussions said the move is a precursor to a federal lawsuit that will ask a judge to invalidate the sanctions, because trustees expect the NCAA to reject the appeal. The trustees also are trying to determine whether university president Rodney Erickson had legal authority to sign a consent decree agreeing to the package of sanctions -- a $60 million fine, a four-year bowl ban, scholarship losses and the vacating of wins from 1998 through 2011. Erickson signed a consent decree with the NCAA after consulting with board chairwoman Karen Peetz and university counsel, but he did not bring the decree to the full board for review or a vote. Ryan J. McCombie, a retired Navy SEAL who joined the board in June, spearheaded the challenges Monday, writing to fellow board members in a letter obtained by ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that he has hired Boston attorney Paul Kelly to file the appeal and that trustees should join him in his effort against the NCAA and in trying to determine whether Erickson had authority to act alone.

they should let it go because its bad PR on top of already horrific PR.

the problem is that's why the ncaa did what it did without due process. especially considering the the head of the ncaa is a hypocritical douchebag. go look up his quotes about the LSU football program some years back.
