I used to write for a college football web site, and I am quite familiar with the NCAA. When I first saw the NCAA punishment handed out, and the wins stripped from Paterno....I knew that the NCAA will lose that one in court if sued.
I am surprised the NCAA lawyers did not brief Emmert and his people about Tarkanian v NCAA
I think Paterno got very bad treatment from the media....especially in light of how Syracuse and Jim Boeheim got a pass from the media.
Did you know ESPN sat on the recorded telephone call between Bernie Fine’s wife and one of Fine’s victims for 8 years....in that call Fine’s wife basically admits that her husband had sex with boys. ESPN sat on that phone call for 8 years...and they are leading the lynch mob against Paterno
I would steer you first though to the John Ziegler interviews. Like you, John has no ties or love of PSU, rather he just sees wrong being done - and he despises the media. All the Ziegler audios are must listen. John's the guy that proved that America thought Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her back porch.
