HARRISBURG — In a stinging opinion, a Centre County judge today ordered Pennsylvania State University to pay another $5 million to Mike McQueary, on top of the $7.3 million a jury already awarded the former coach who blamed school officials for destroying his life after he became a central witness against Jerry Sandusky and the administrators accused of covering up his serial sex-abuse.

"The fact that five years [later], Mr. McQueary could not be employed as a cashier in a local drug store shows ... the extent to which he has been ostracized in the Penn State community," wrote Judge Thomas G. Gavin in his 61-page ruling.

The order comes a month a jury trial that offered unusual window into the searing impact of the case on Penn State and others involved. That ended with a jury ordering the university to pay $7.3 million to Mr. McQueary.

They found that Penn State officials lied to Mr. McQueary when they promised in 2001 to act on his report of seeing Sandusky sexually assault a boy in a campus shower, and then damaged his reputation when Sandusky was finally arrested a decade later.

Has PSU hit the 500M plateau in fines, legal fees, paper shredders, payouts to the real victims, etc???

I was thinking the same thing about the actual costs.
If I get snowed in this winter I'm going to try to make a detailed list.
I remember when this started several posters on this board said this was going to be 100s of millions and drag on for years. The Pedohiles scoffed at that.

Guess we were right

Penn State also decided to not challenge the the Clery Fines and said last week they will pay the Highest fines in US Department of Education History of $2.4 million! They are very lucky no one went back into the entire history during their Era of having Lack of Athletic integrity. The Court Cases are still in play too costing Legal fees that will be decided in the end and possible verdict not covered by Insurance.

In addition to all the costs associated with New Reforms Policies, Procedures, and requirements on orientation of over 15,000 Employees. All students and much more, but it is good they are winning again and the fans seem to only care about that no matter what the costs.

As long as they have a football program at PSU those people don't care about any monetary punishment. They still think they are the victims in the whole sick thing. The NCAA let them off easy and no one there learned a lesson other than don't get caught next time.

The Higher Ups knew this was the Goal and really brought in James Franklin to Win and in 2016 he did it, but the season is not over. A Blow Out or any Lost followed by a Bowl even at 10-4 won't diminish that view in 2016, but next year they have to duplicate and exceed it, not sure that can happen?

There is nor other way but credit these terrific Players and Coaches that played terrific second half football except for the Michigan game. Franklin Decision to put McSorley at QB paid off big time with Moorhead System and DC Pry all together have the Teams playing high, and no shame in recognizing it.

These Higher Ups put in the Reforms that brought in Athletic Integrity and Franklin too, and are attacked for may things that needed fixed, and the Higher Ups are right now proven right, Back To Winning is Everything, yet can they keep it up? They will have mature Team in 2017 and 2018 too.

However, as you know a key injury to McSorley could make that go away, losing DBs next year will hurt aw while too. What has been the trend on the Spread Offenses is some big unexpected Wins later followed by some Blow outs when it counts and Pro Set Teams like Bama, USC, OSU, Michigan, Pitt, and Wisconsin types catch up to Teams like Oregon, OU, WVU, ASU, UA, and seen over time.

Wisky has greta DB Backfield, very good DL, it their LBs play that has concern, and Wisky offense plays Ball Control, and if they take the lead just like Pitt, much harder to comeback on and at the same time, can be blown away. Yet, to PSU Credit Vegas ha s a small line that is not a prediction for any win or losses, but still thinks it can be a close game? We shall see? Unlike Pitt, Penn State did not play the back to back tougher Teams all year long. They get another break now playing Wisky and then 4 weeks before another big Bowl Team regradless, and many have that against MAC's Western Michigan, so 11-3 is possible and 10-4 too unlikely, yet, if they win can be higher. Facing Clemson, Bama, US, or Washington will earn much respect, but getting blown away could ruin a Holiday Season just like Pitt experienced in against Navy last year. One Great Season has happen many places but it now has to happen to PSU the next 3 seasons in Big Ten East and added tougher games with Iowa, Nebraska and Pitt again, and Wisky follows in 2018-19 again too. Also, Ohio State is all back next year without Barrett the choker and MSU & Michigan too. We shall see soon?

Yup - awfully sad. They did not learn anything.

Good for McQueary. Although if I was in his shoes I would've done more than slam a locker shot. I wouldn't have left until ole' jer bear took his final breath.

We are not talking about altering grades , having a tutor taking a test, paying a player, buying something for a player's family member! We are talking about allowing a man to molest young people for the sake of protecting the image of a football program. Think about that for a moment.

Cap't, are the PA taxpayers footing some or all of this fine?
