"A Letter from Penn State President Eric Barron"

what did you used to do with those 15 hours per week before this whole thing happened?LOL Really? I even replied to your first post with:
"This has to be TIC.....doesn't it?"
If so, you did a good job of it
In answer to your question: First, I should say - for me - it is not so much the "Sandusky Scandal" as it is the "Penn State Leadership Scandal". In many ways, Sandusky was the ignition point, but in the grand scheme of things, no matter how vile Sandusky's activities may have been - they were the actions of one man.....they are a "pimple on an elephant's ass" relative to what Penn State's "Leaders" have been doing for so long.
In one way or another - depending on just how you define certain things.......would have to be at least in excess of 15 hours or so (maybe quite a bit more).
Which could be (and maybe is) a bit insane. But my ties to PSU go back beyond myself. The reasons I try to do what I can to rid PSU of these cancers.....or to at least support those who are in a position to succeed in that effort, goes beyond myself. It is something I owe, IMHO. And I can't NOT do it. So I do.
Barron = Dunham = joke.
He's not defending the university. He's protecting the people who damaged the university.
By the way, Barron has no problem continuing to pay that as$ Joyner. His salary should be "redistributed" to the alumni-elected trustees legal fees as should have:
* millions paid to that scam George Mitchell
* costs for Holly Gregory, our previous "governance consultant" and all of her valuable input
* the millions spent on PR to Edelman
* Julie Del Giorno, another joke, our Athletic Integrity Officer (responsible for the lawsuit costs associated with the Kaidanov bullsh*t they pulled)
* some of that $900K they're paying Barbour to Tweet plus all of those useful "assistants" she's hired
* the list goes on and on but, what the hay, it's only money
Me too. Very disappointed that Barron was not more of a neutral player in this. I understand the the old guard hired him, but he had a pretty strong hand had he been willing to play it. Turns out he was not.
Don't forget who the old guard BOT tried to hire prior to Barron. Hint: He was in trouble with the law, compromised as a leader and capable of being exploited by the old guard to do whatever they desired. It kind of makes one wonder what skeletons old Eric has in his closet, doesn't it?
I should have expected this from you. Everyone else criticizes barron, but you want him to kill himself. You're ridiculous. And you stupidly assume if barron were out of the picture, for any reason, that we would get due process for Joe more quickly, as if someone of integrity would necessarily replace barron.
You're obviously a diehard Penn Stater, but you often are an idiot with your zealousness.
No, I think with Pres. Barron's comments on "expectations of membership", they are going to try to use the Lubrano Rule on them and get rid of them.
You are an idiot, along with Barron. The rest of us see that Barron obeys his masters. He let Jameis do whatever he wanted because Jameis ruled the school at FSU. He let's Masser do whatever he wants because Masser is the puppet master that brought him in, paid him big bucks and tells him to continue the charade. There's no more "wait for it" with Barron. When he makes public statements like this, it solidified what he is.
Well, you may be correct, but I think they had better put some legal fees in the budget. We can be sure that Barron will write more fatuous letters like a schoolmarm, but I am not sure these clowns are ready for The Apocalypse.
They are whining and caving quickerand quicker now. They are teaching the following lesson--sue me and I will do what you want. I expect the OG BOT to get sued over the shape of the table at the next meeting, then the strength of the coffee and the age of the Danish.
These people are truculent, uncooperative, disagreeable asshats who are unworthy of trust. When we don't trust someone we deal with them through third parties. In extreme cases we deal with them only through litigation.
I am happy it has come to this, because it was always the only thing that had any chance of working. You know you got 'em when the letter calling your lawsuit frivolous is mentioned in the THE SAME STORY as the fact that they compromised the lawsuit to give the Plaintiffs what they wanted.
It's a "scalability" problem.In fairness, that's a little more difficult than it initially seems.

Hey Marbles, what say you? Are you still defending this slug; I said from day one he was a slug.
Trying to understand what happened here... Barron says the alumni trustees were offered a chance to see info on the B&I candidates if they pledged to keep the names confidential. The PennLive article says, "Masser said he became willing to forward the background materials Monday after the alumni members - in a court filing made earlier in the day in Centre County court - pledged to keep names of those not selected confidential."
What am I missing here? If the power bloc of the BOT was willing to share the candidate info and the alumni trustees were willing to pledge confidentiality, what prompted the lawsuit?

Depends on how much collateral damage is acceptable or whether Foole deploys his dick to accomplish the task.
"What am I missing here?"
The only thing you are missing....is that Barron is a deceitful pile of crap.
The elected trustees, and many others, have been asking for this information for years....ever since the first of the post-11/11 trustees were elected. They have ben repeatedly denied even this most basic information......including even the disclosure of which ELITE trustees comprised the "committee" that chose the B&I princes.
Denied, denied, denied....until finally turning to the Courts, at which time the OG BOT finally capitulated - but only with strings attached (the inane and redundant "you gotta' really, really, really be confidential" nonsense).
Barron is a disingenuous pile of monkey spunk.

The fact that anyone from our university can even claim someone else is wasting money is an utter joke. The ELECTED alumni trustees are the only voice we have in all of this. Its sad that they have to keep filing lawsuits but apparently that is the only choice we have because we have been stonewalled at every single turn, lied to almost nonstop, and just straight up told to sit down, shut up, but keep giving us money. I saw we continue to file law suite after lawsuit. How is it even possible that the cabal continues to throw away millions and millions of dollars and not stand up and fight one bit but once the alumni question something they are fought tooth and nail?
It is a striking contrast that the alumni elected trustees' requests are rebuked so strongly and publicly in a formal statement, yet the criticism of the flawed Freeh report was barely a whisper.
As Barron no doubt noticed from the past few years, there is good money in being a paid shill for this BoT.
