(AP) Penn State: 26 people get $59.7M over Sandusky
By MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa.
Penn State said Monday it is paying $59.7 million to 26 young men over claims of child sexual abuse at the hands of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The university said it had concluded negotiations that have lasted about a year.

The school said 23 deals are fully signed and three are agreements in principle. The school faces six other claims, and the university says it believes some do not have merit while others may produce settlements.

Penn State said the day Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 of 45 criminal counts that it was determined to compensate his victims.

The settlements have been unfolding since mid-August, when attorneys for the accusers began to disclose them. Penn State followed a policy in which it has not been confirming them, waiting instead to announce deals at once.

Penn State has spent more than $50 million on other costs related to the Sandusky scandal, including lawyers' fees, public relations expenses, and adoption of new policies and procedures related to children and sexual abuse complaints.

Sandusky, 69, has been pursuing appeals while he serves a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence.

Three former Penn State administrators await trial in Harrisburg on charges they engaged in a criminal cover-up of the Sandusky scandal. Former president Graham Spanier, retired vice president Gary Schultz and retired athletic director Tim Curley deny the allegations, and a trial date has not been scheduled.

Eight young men testified against Sandusky, describing a range of abuse they said went from grooming and manipulation to fondling, oral sex and anal rape when they were boys.

Sandusky did not testify at his trial but has long asserted his innocence. He has acknowledged he showered with boys but insisted he never molested them.

The abuse scandal rocked Penn State, bringing down football coach Joe Paterno and leading college sports' governing body, the NCAA, to levy unprecedented sanctions against the university's football program.

The statement was that Buck is the Cardinals home team announcer. He isn't. I don't see the controversy in pointing out the factual inaccuracy.

I saw where apparently the Bears/Packers game is the only one this week to have both teams at an over .500 record.

Yes, very true.

However, they both have enough Cardinal in their bloodlines that there is no way the Cardinal fans can accurately say they are anti-Cardinals.

It is just stupid. Everyone is out to get the poor Cardinals....

They watch because of fantasy purposes, gambling, and the social tradition of sunday afternoon.

And it doesn't require much thought

and they don't watch because more often than not their respective team has a small chance at the playoffs a majority of the season? I'm not a huge football fan but I'll watch a .500 team that has a chance to sneak into the playoffs every year...

Hell if I know .... I mean it's the tip-top NFL Rivalry, so I'm sure that carries some weight.

I think it's interesting that Schefter brings that tidbit out about next Monday's game a half-day prior to the current game even kicking off.

this show should figure out that Bob's interviews would be a lot more entertaining done off the air and then slimmed down into a two minute segment, like they just played.

For a smart person (Really Smart?), Dan sure has listed a lot of really good bands that he doesn't like. And OH MY GOD that FUCKING Foo Fighters cover. Awful.

Can you blame them for wanting to fill time during a slow part of the sports calendar?
