The Governor of the state of Pennsylvania, Tom Corbett, is planing on coming forth with a lawsuit against the NCAA for their actions against Penn State University that included the huge eight figure fine, extensive bowl ban, vacated wins under Joe Paterno as head football coach, and scholarship reductions.
A press conference is scheduled Wednesday to explain where the state is coming from...
The school, while already having agreed to the implentation of the NCAA sanctions in July, is not a party to the actions of Governor Corbett- but the HQ can fairly assess that they have been kept in the loop on the whole thing.
The suit should challenge the notion of the NCAA as a governing and enforcement body, and will have to answer to the thought that elected officials inside the state of Pennsylvania wanted the fines against the university to stay at home.
Currently, the fines are being distributed on a national basis for preventing child abuse. Both sides are not addressing this idea publicly...
At the same time, the case brought forth by Mike McQueary against the university is still scheduled to proceed without any kind of delay. McQueary claims he was wrongly fired by the school.
Here's that update from State College...

Penn State wants the McQueary case postponed until all Sandusky questions are addressed by the courts...
Not happening yet...
