Now the trustees are appealing

Penn State Nittany Lions -- Trustees appeal to NCAA, vow federal lawsuit - ESPN

A Penn State Board of Trustee member filed an appeal Monday afternoon with the NCAA over sanctions levied against the university after the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal.

Three other trustees joined the appeal, which states a consent decree that university president Rodney Erickson signed with the NCAA agreeing to the sanctions is "null and void" because Erickson "lacked the legal authority" to enter into such an agreement without the board's approval.

Trustees and a person with first-hand knowledge of the discussions said the move is a precursor to a federal lawsuit asking a federal judge to invalidate the sanctions, because trustees expect the NCAA to reject the appeal.

:snoop:

Just god damn death penalty them then

Past cases have proven that the NCAA acted 100% in their right in this case. In NCAA v Tarkanian, the justices in the supreme court decided that as long as the NCAA is not granted or granting itself any governmental powers to punish one man for criminal acts, then they can provide sanctions based on what they feel is needed without any due process. NCAA is an opt in membership, if PSU wants they can deny these sanctions and choose to join the NAIA instead.

Instead of appealing, they should just look the other way and pretend it's not happening... Isn't that the Paterno way?

all the whining and talk of appeals just further exposes Penn State as a community that puts football above all else

...including decency.

Paterno's just exhausting their options...nothing wrong with the players appealing though...if you were in their shoes, youd be doing the same thing...nobody wants to see their accomplishments wiped away due to a bs scandal that most of these players werent involved with...

No offence breh, but don't you think if one of Pitino's assistants did the same he/his family would be filing an appeal as well?
