NCAA requests for Curley to be removed from trial

[Lion8286]

Can anyone interpret what this all might mean?

The National Collegiate Athletic Association filed to seal its motion for leave to remove former Penn State athletic director Timothy Curley from its case against the Paterno Estate, according to court documents.

The motion for leave includes the following conditions set forth by the NCAA’s legal team: the motion refers to information that has been deemed “highly confidential” under the protective order from September 2014 and the physical evidence is also kept “highly confidential.”

A motion to leave is a motion filed by the court seeking permission to deviate from an established rule or procedure of the court.

That article is incredibly confusing. The motion in question is a request to file another motion under seal - one in which the NCAA wants to depose Curley.

Between the typical obfuscating "lawyering", the "let's put everything under seal" issue of the courts, and the whacko reporting of the Collegian........
Yeah, kinda' hard to make "heads or tails".



That said, one might reasonably figure - if only from the timing - that it is related to TC's guilty plea.

Surely the NCAA acted in good faith regarding Penn State and has absolutely nothing to hide. It makes no sense that they'd want to exclude anything.

I'm sure they will keep everything in the open when they investigate MSU also.

Looking at the actual filing:

It would APPEAR to be LIKELY that it's fairly obvious:
Based on TC's Guilty Plea, the NCAA wants to now depose him - - - - to try to identify a venue by which to discredit the "Paterno Suit".

I would be entirely unsurprised if the did the same wrt Schultz.


Those brilliant $1,000-suit litigators.
The gift that keeps on giving.

(Even though the echo chamber said the trial outcomes were a "good thing". )

Bend and stretch ... reach for the stars.... there goes Jupiter... here comes Mars ....

They want to remove him but depose him... pretty interesting swim moves.... Curley and not Shultz. Which ones testimony exonerates Paterno from guilt. If I am the judge... everything would be done in an open courtroom for the public to see. No behind doors maneuvering anymore... the public needs transparency, the alumni needs transparency the taxpayers deserve transparency, those that give money the University deserve transparency.....and the victims (no matter who they are deserve transparency) no matter what your current thoughts and beliefs are on this matter.... the gamesmanship must stop and the courts must make it so.

My guess is that the NCAA wants to depose Curley to see if they can get him to say Joe was in some way responsible for Tim not calling DPW. Tim, however, has already testified under oath in a criminal trial that the decision was his alone. Not really sure what the NCAA thinks it's going to get. If they have some sort of physical evidence proving a "conspiracy", I'm sure the Pennsylvania OAG will be thrilled that the NCAA didn't share it knowing a criminal trial was taking place and the state was trying to prove that a conspiracy occurred.

More motions just to make sure the case isn't heard until all parties involved are worm farms...

I hate the NCAA.

The NCAA would like to take the deposition of TMC now that the criminal matter. Is resolved absent sentencing.

Don't expect this to occur anytime soon. Lawyers for TMC not likely to agree until at least sentencing occurs.

I don't know where that headline came from

But TC isn't even involved in the suit (let alone being asked to be removed from it)
