Right. As if PSUs liability is now diminished with these firings. You know as well as I do that the lawsuits are going to be vast, and that the trustees themselves are still not out of the woods yet. All the firings did today was a little bit of CYA in the hopes of slowing the carnage before it hits their doorsteps. This is yet another reason why people here should be at least a tiny bit skeptical about these immediate firings. THINK, instead of feeling your way through the issue, just for a few minutes! It won’t hurt. I promise.
I have to wonder whom you’ve enabled in your storied unionized career.
We're not only talking "liability" re: civil suits, but pre-empting a loose talker like Paterno from giving even more ammo to those lawyers who will be filing suit.
Paterno was already making statements today about "in hindsight, he wished he had done more" without being able to qualify that for better or worse. I mean what does that mean? My guess is that will probably be Question #1 at every deposition he will attend in the future...and there will be many.
