The following is from “NCAA agrees to restore Paterno wins, restructure fine” in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
“Penn State’s board of trustees, in a rare unanimous vote, supported the deal. Key to that decision was that the university did not acknowledge the NCAA’s right to impose the sanctions, said alumni-elected trustee Anthony Lubrano, a Glenmoore businessman.
“The final agreement states only that the university acknowledges the NCAA’s “legitimate and good faith interest and concern” regarding the Sandusky matter.
“ ‘That, said Lubrano, ‘is a major distinction.’ He called the deal a ‘beatdown’ of the NCAA, but acknowledged he would have liked stronger language.”
