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.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.

How does firing Paterno keep him from his "loose-talking" ways? (never thought of him that way, personally). I'm thinking that PSUs CYA is going to bite them even more when all is said and done...
(And thank you for replying rationally. The personal insults were starting to get to me LOL. Even a thick-skinned former HS teacher can eventually get their buttons pushed!)
