PSU Trustees File Suit Against NCAA, Spanier and Schultz Still Getting Paid

((HT: ESPN))

Don Van Natta is at it again- in a good way...

As he has uncovered that some of the current members of the Penn State Board of Trustees have filed a lawsuit against the NCAA ordering the elimination of the judgment, lawsuit, and anything else associated with the ruling that came down from Indianapolis...

Basically, the four trustees at the front of the suit claim the suit is "null and void" since the assertion is that President Rodney Erickson didn't have the authority to unilaterally sign the consent decree that the school and NCAA agreed to in the first place.

Ryan McCombie, a new member on the Board, claims that there was a lack of due process, the consent decree was based erroneously on the Freeh Report and the report alone, and that the damage done is "excessive" to an entire generation...

Whatever that means...

Here's the letter of appeal...thanks to Van Natta and ESPN...

Here's how some of the Penn State community is tackling the ruling, outside of the Trustees...

Also, two of the more important and checkered individuals associated with the scandal on campus are still getting paid- Graham Spanier and Tim Curley.

Spanier was fired in November, but he’s a tenured professor. But tenuired professors are protected- from, apparently, everything. In 2011 Spanier made more than $700,000 with pay and benefits.

Curley went on leave right after Sandusky’s indictment, so he is still being paid. According to the Penn State website, he makes close to $400,000.
