I wish the NCAA could extend this to a 10 year bowl ban because of this.

I think the punishment for Penn State was fair, and they were lucky it wasn't worse. Just accept it and move on.

Oh, and thanks for ruining the B&B show the next 6 months too.

I thought the suit was only to try and keep all of the usage of the fine money in state? I don't have too much of a problem with that.

So when you pay a speeding ticket in Chicago, the money should go to Indiana?

That is a Chicago speeding ticket so it should stay in Chicago. The first word in NCAA is National.

If Pennsylvania fined Penn State, then it should stay in Pennsylvania. If the National Collegiate Athletic Association fined Penn State, then it should not necessarily stay in Pennsylvania.

IS that all that the suit is about though? I still don't have a problem with his intent, but I don't see how he justifies the expense.

Would be great if the state won the lawsuit and then the NCAA said fine, we'll give Penn State the death penalty instead.

Bernsy now has 6 more months of material.

Even more when the state of PA wins the court case.

The suit is that the NCAA doesn't have the authority to do it.

I would imagine they want all sanctions gone.

In his press conference he said he still wants the Athletic Department to pay the fine, he just wants the money to be used in PA for the victims and prevention (sure). Taxpayer money being taken by a non-government agency and used out of state would be something I'd want looked into if I was a PA resident. I'd guess the case gets settled before it goes anywhere, so despite it being politically motivated bullshit, it may end up as a "win" for PA.

If I were a PA resident, I would be more concerned with taxpayer money being used to rape kids for 25 years.

The suit is much more than that. It's just a way to try and make an excuse.

It's still a bad excuse. I don't know why there would be any expectation that all money stays in PA.
