Paterno Family Informs NCAA It Will Appeal Penn State Sanctions

From the BLOOMBERG:

…NCAA spokesman Bob Williams said in an e-mail that “Penn State’s sanctions are not subject to review.”

The basis of the family’s appeal would stem from the NCAA’s use of an independent report compiled by former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Louis Freeh, according to Sollers’ letter. Freeh’s 267-page report, released two weeks before the NCAA announced its sanctions, concluded that university officials, including Paterno, failed to protect children from sexual abuse by Sandusky, both by failing to report him to the police and by continuing to grant him access to the on-campus football building where some of the abuse took place.

Sollers said the NCAA “entirely ignored the fact that the Freeh report, on which these extraordinary penalties are based, is deeply flawed because it is incomplete, rife with unsupported opinions and unquestionably one-sided.”
