Never thought I'd see this day
Dambly's language is too weasely -- "Many of those reports and statements, including the Freeh Report, contain opinions about individuals and matters that are not shared by the University" -- but for all intents and purposes, the BOT has disavowed the Freeh report
lawyers wrote both statements, but I'd bet Sue added to hers, while the BOT statement was exactly what the lawyers wrote
Kathleen McChesney's notesWhy now?
Did you see the price tags that Barry had on the renovations yesterday?Why now?
Why now?
The AD needs more money for when Barron steals AD money (again) to pay for his boondoggle museum
And caved to the NCAA who had no business getting involved in the matter. Too late for me."The University has made clear that Mr. Freeh's opinions about Joe were never endorsed by Penn State."
Except when they fired him, tore down his statue and refused to honor him in any way since. Sure. Okay. Got it.
(I know much of this happened prior to the Freeh report).
Oh by the way the AD is still paying for the fine money that PSU made them pay after sanctions were lifted...sanctions that stemmed from the Freeh report that the university doesn't agree with.
I wonder where that shows up in the ICA financial statements?
(Spoiler: It doesn't What's that tell ya'?)
Sue Paterno is an amazing woman. Her lifelong efforts, alongside Joe Paterno, have made this University and the State College community stronger and better than it could have ever achieved. As Bob78 said, she is light years better than I will ever be. I owe a debt of gratitude to her and Joe for everything they have done directly for Penn State, and indirectly for me.
As I sit at my desk this Friday afternoon, and for the first time that I can think of, I wholeheartedly disagree with the approach the Paterno family is taking with this - and I understand that there are reasons for this that I will never be, nor should be, privy to.
Sue Paterno and the Paterno family may have agreed to a resolution, but that does not mean I have. The resolution does not begin the steps to restoring the good name of Joe Paterno, it does nothing to hold accountable those who chose to drag his name through the mud and create a negative perception of him, the University and the football program. The negative perception created so a small group of cowards can protect themselves instead of holding themselves accountable as leaders should do.
I will continue to hate the OG Bot, the NCAA. Mark Emmert, Louis Freeh, and others involved with this fiasco. Irrespective of the resolution the Paterno family have agreed to.
Nope- too little too late. With all respect to Sue, I'm never writing another check to PSU.
Totally agree with this Ro. Very well stated. Ro's post deserves to be pinned as I think it captures the thoughts of a huge majority on this board and of the PSU alumni base.Sue Paterno is an amazing woman.

That's next if this doesn't spike fundraising.And if they are not still complete morons, they will follow up by trotting out some JoePa memoriam of some sort (Statue or no).
I wouldn't expect it to. But $16 million debt service when there's really nothing recent that would require that much debt service tells me plenty.
