The following is a draft of an advertisement to be placed in the CDT's Blue White Game special edition (Saturday 4/18). The advertisement is designed to raise awareness of the need for Senator Corman to support reformation of the PSU Board of Trustees.
I am soliciting support (yes, that means $$$) to cover the costs of a 1/2 page ad in the CDT. If you would be interested in supporting, you can contact me at bfenchak@comcast.net, or through my FACEBOOK page.
What follows is a rough draft (the hour is late, and I am sure the content still needs a good bit of polishing.....edits/suggestions/comments are welcome). I will include the names of the sponsors (if you want your name attached, if not it will not be included), and will also be happy to include the names of anyone who supports the content (even if they are not able to contribute).

Senator Corman - It is Time for Action
PA State Senator John Yudichak, 14th district, has proposed legislation to reform the Board of Trustees at Penn State. Senator Yudichak’s proposal provides for enhancements that create a more engaged, inclusive, and accountable board at Penn State
For years, we have seen – first hand - the affects that an unaccountable, disengaged, factional board of governance has had on Penn State.
We now have the opportunity, in fact, the obligation, to put an end to the tyrannical control of Penn State by a group of unauthorized pirates. Senator Yudichak’s proposal – while not perfect – is a significant step towards freeing Penn State from the grips of the cabal that has prostituted the University to whom we all owe so much.
Last year, attempts to reform the PSU BOT failed…in large part because Dominic Pileggi – as the Senate Majority Leader - refused to allow legislation to be brought onto the senate floor for a vote.
Now, the position of Senate Majority Leader is held by Senator Jake Corman of the 34th district, a district serving State College as well as Juniata, Mifflin, and Huntingdon counties. As the Senator from the Centre Region, it is imperative that Jake Corman provides his public and enthusiastic support to this legislation – or that he propose an even better plan.
To date, Senator Corman HAS NOT come out in support of the reform proposal.
The last time Senator Corman declared a victory for Penn State, it resulted in:
· The State gaining control of $48 million dollars
· The NCAA and the PSU Board of Trustees receiving a “Get out of Jail Free” card
· Penn State authorizing a $60 million extortion payment (and also picking up the tab for the State’s legal expenses)
· Penn State agreeing that the NCAA acted with a “good faith interest”
· And every other party of interest - including Louis Freeh, the PSU BOT, the Commonwealth of PA, every state agency responsible for child welfare, and every individual associated with the 2nd Mile - being provided with another veil of secrecy and distortion to prevent illumination of just what exactly has been going on for the last several years.
If that is the definition of a Victory, we can’t stand to win any more battles.
Senator Corman once said of the NCAA “They knew where the evidence was going”, and yes, we know where the evidence has been going. It is time for Senator Corman to provide evidence – not lip service – of his commitment to protecting the interests of Penn State, not to those who would like to see the status quo maintained and the truth hidden.
It is time to stand for real, accountable, reform of the PSU Board of Trustees.
Senator Corman, stand up and support meaningful reform of the dysfunctional, corrupt, unaccountable PSU Board of Trustees.[/B]
If we don't change the way the PSU BOT is composed.....we have all failed. And PSU will fail again and again. [/B]
