I agree. Any trustee not serving on the Legal & Compliance Committee should have raised hell for being asked to discharge their fiduciary duty without access to confidential information concerning why Penn State should agree to these latest settlements.Originally posted by roswelllion:
. . . why wouldn't they share that info with the entire BoT? If the alumni BoT came out with a statement that said "we have reviewed all the reports and support the settlements" it would IMO quiet many of us.
More likely, the ones with bigger settlements are the ones with better lawyers.Originally posted by Evan Ceg:
I find it interesting that not all plaintiffs received the same settlements. That would indicate to me that Penn State's lawyers and plaintiff's lawyers have a pretty good idea of what went wrong and when, and to what degree Penn State has liability for Sandusky's subsequent actions.
Prople who are unaware that Chairman Masser is denying trustees access to Freeh's source materials might well conclude that.Originally posted by Evan Ceg:
Someone outside the BWI Bubble might well conclude that the reason Penn State settled was because there is enough damning evidence in the Freeh Report documentation to make Penn State want to avoid further tort action and public humiliation.
that the trustees are protecting the University because there is more damning information Freeh chose NOT to include in his report. that is ludicrous, considering the contortions Freeh went through to connect unconnected dots to IMPLICATE the 4 admins. and how much the trustees have crapped on Paterno since they "retired him early"Originally posted by Aoshiro:

That doesn't mean that they are correct.
Nothing new in 3 years = imbeciles who had nothing to begin with. Penn Live is a noted moron den.Originally posted by Victor E. Bell:
in Penn Live about Gricar (anniversary in a few days). They're re-running 3 year old articles over there to whip up the Penn State hate train since there hasn't been anything horrifying in the last few days.
