AP confirms that psu made settlement claims to victims from 1971

The Barron sees the impending doom of lawsuits et al coming that will potentially negate the insurance payout to penn state to cover the payments to victims. If he agrees that 1971 abuse was known by Joe, he negates the insurance payment. He's going to rely on "he said; she said" to refute Joe's knowledge in 1971. But just like Sandusky in 1998, Joe had an employee title and position in the university, making the university liable for his actions and.....psu is going to have to pay the damages settlement WITHOUT the insurance paying or reimbursing psu for it.

And if Glazer unseals the deposition on Victim A in 1971 ~ that is going to hit the media like the Starr Report pornography did with Bill Clinton. Nobody listened to Clinton; And nobody is going to listen to Joe or any Paterno or any cult member regarding the 1971 rape.

Agree, they are putting on a Brave Face but are really stuck now, they cannot honor Joe or bring back the statue, so long if more allegations keep coming out. They all will be replaced too or may seek to retire.

Sure, I feel for the Family and they have a right to defend against such allegations but everyone knows and that includes The Paterno Lawyers Hired Professional Children Investigator Clemente. If he reviews and conclude the Victim's Allegations have verified truth, even he will save his own reputation rather than tow any line.

The big problem a Children's Victim Lawyer and Advocate told me, even with or without the New Statue of Limitations going back 50 years or more pending approval in the State Senate and signed by the Governor.

The dependable thing that does happen in large cases like this over 50 years is seen on how the Catholic Church in Philadelphia, Altoona-Johnstown, Boston and in USA is now over 7,000 and growing.

The CASES come out in slow paces because Victims start to boil over and become braver and no longer hide what happen.

Even false accusations take time to verify and even then that kind of publicity is just devastating and still does not change public opinion, unless a complete recantation takes place and that is not happening at all.


This is why National Security Contracts require Standard Form 312 so Transparency cannot happen but this is not National Security, and many at Penn State demanded Transparency thinking it will support Paterno Legacy!

I still cannot believe what is being alleged but if more Victims keep coming out and others predate 1998 and go back to 1970s and 1980s with verification and video depositions? I don't see anyway to stop, confront, or run away from it.

I dare say, Pitt could replace Penn State in the Big Ten, this is far bigger than imagined and boy is Pennsylvania going to take a hit on this as Trump & Hillary fight it out the next few months too!

This will happen during Presidental Election & College Football Season, and will be a National Topic for both Candidates?


Trump wants the Paterno Statue back up and now he will change that tune.

Hillary bragged about her Father being a PSU Alumnus, and her Brother a PSU Player under Paterno and both will attack each other over whom can protect children better?


Watch and see!

How can Barron be so certain? He wasn't even there.
Very good point, this will either unite all of Penn State or gives ammo to take out those that kept blaming the Old Guard Trustee Leadership.

If New Trustee Leadership takes over and replaces the President, AD, and Others, then tries to bring back the Paterno Statue and renounce everything that happen, and more Victims going back to 1970s comes out, they all go too?

Barron had to challenge the allegations and could not remain silent, yet that is a temporary move and nay not stand up later, and will be force to admit or confront it again and again.


Even if they unite some will have to admit they were wrong and more changes are on the way, there is really No Way Out, if more comes out and is verified?

Like I propose when it all came out a Pennsylvania Consortium of College Presidents with Big Ten University Presidents and National Blue Ribbon Committee will have to take over and oversee the Reorganization of Penn State from without not within.
 
Since the insurance company isn't going to pay the $90 million claim to Penn State, does the Pa taxpayers pay a portion of the victims claim? Why does it seem that there is no outrage of the situation?
 
Good question I've asked this all along? Why aren't people more disgusted ? For example the endless delays on things...cleary report for example?

Time to get real journalists on this - spotlight treatment-
 
Rutgersdave I would guess the taxpayers and future students of psu foot the settlement bills. The university should be forced to shut down. Child rape ran rampant for 4 decades there. You cannot say otherwise
 
Captain
ups is between a rock and a hard spot now. Verifiable information that child molestation payments made in 1971.
The insurance companies will fight tooth and nail to avoid payments. They (insurance company) do not care about the public image that this will get. In fact they probably want it to go public! The insurance company will probably go back and ask for their monies back in a counter suit.

Separate item here. Wasn't paterno the AD at this time which makes him an officer of the university?


ups has 2 choices fight the claims and go to court over the insurance companies. Willing to air their dirty laundry and potentially lose the case and spend millions of dollars in the outcome.
Settle with the insurance companies and pay the money out of pocket. Which will give the appearance of guilt no matter how they spin it.
