BoT Wants To Give $ Away. Again.

[MontereyLion]

Re: You have struck the nerve of all of us low level Second Mile volunteers....

So Jerry, as he is approaching retirement, decides to be a pedophile? He started the Second Mile
back in 77 give, or take. He started it for a reason. Yet no adults have come forward from the 70s,
80s and early 90s to say he was abusing them? Seems very strange to me.

The cost to them, individually, would be greater.

And this is why we should fight.

It's impossible, of course, to win here. But you know what I mean.

Then why are settlements contingent on letting TSM off the hook?*

To protect cross-over PSU BoT members, their families and friends from being personally sued, which is in TSM by-laws. Anyone on TSM Board who knew of, condoned or participated in wrongdoing(s) is personally liable.

"The victims say they all encountered Sandusky through the Second Mile. The claim of liability for Penn State stems from allegations that key administrators had knowledge of Sandusky's tendencies and did not act on that information."

And that's it - that's the KEY piece that establishes PENN STATE as the liable culprit here and NOT The Second Mile.

Now, why in the world would Penn State go through so much trouble to establish Penn State's guilt here and to leave the bullseye off of The Second Mile?

If Penn State had said that those allegations were nonsense, and have yet to be proved (outside of the Freeh Report) then the liability for Penn State isn't there. But, BOY did the BoT spend a lot of money and PR nonsense on trying to establish that the guilt did indeed lie with Penn State administrators.

Imagine for a second that someone from Penn State had simply informed The Second Mile of their concerns about Jerry Sandusky. Then this whole nightmare would be known as "The Second Mile Scandal."

Oh, wait...

Beause if the case continues against TSM, certain facts


the BoT does not want known, will become known. If they were able to tolerate that, they could actually try some of these cases. Settle them all and let the swells on the TSM board take their own and the boT's secrets to the grave.

The biggest question I have regarding these settlements goes back to word that the initial payouts came with a stipulation that the victims not seek any compensation from TSM - that just wreaks of an actual coverup to me.

Here we go again------- more "victims" coming forward for the payout

This extortion must be stopped. Every Appalachian kid that grew up in a dysfunctional home and who heard of Jerry has his hand out wanting to get PAID.

 

[NittanyAmerica]

The Penn State Board or Trust, has labelled us. We are what they say we are, enablers. The sooner we get this the sooner we turn the corner on the real crime committed here. The destruction of Penn State's good name.
