#1 thing on the list is apologizing to the Paternos.
Bottom of the list is ensuring access to a quality education for all students.

No, there's not a culture problem at PSU at all. :roll2:

Education made it on to the card, and restoring Paterno to 409 wins did not.

HE'S A WITCH, BURN HIM.

Penn State vs. Michigan Basketball Court Storm 2013/02/27 - YouTube

So did the football sanctions hit the basketball team? I only see about 1,750 people in the stands. Is that what it's like for PSU basketball games? For other games in the Big Ten?

One can almost follow the thought process as he put that list together. He got all the football stuff down and then thought: "Gee, I would be a trustee for an academic institution with over 90 thousand students. Is there anything else I would have responsibility for?"

During my Intro to Sport Industry class here at Ohio State we have to do a "hot topic" presentation in sports right now and a girl chose the Penn State scandal because she has family that went there and grew up as a Penn State fan. The worst part was that it seemed like most of the class felt the sanctions were too hard, had nothing to do with football, and that it wasn't fair to Penn State....uh, are you kidding me?! I about fell over.

Whilst in Los Angeles, I kept seeing advertisements for Penn States online degree program. At LAX in particular it seemed to come up on the digital ad boards every other time.

I guess they are betting on no one out there watching the news?

I don't see how the football program's problems diminish the value of a typical Penn State degree. I work with several alumni of their Engineering School. All are capable performers and a credit to the profession. If I am reviewing candidates' resumes (in Engineering) I would give a PSU student's resume the same consideration as I would have three years ago.

Penn State sues insurance company over Jerry Sandusky-related claims

Penn State alleges in a new lawsuit that its insurance carrier has not been honoring its legal obligation to cover claims related to sexual misconduct by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The university said in the 18-page complaint filed in Bellefonte on Tuesday that it has been sued or contacted by 29 claimants but that the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association Insurance Company has not provided coverage.

The lawsuit alleges breach of contract and bad faith, and seeks damages and costs.
The filing lists five lawsuits and letters from attorneys for 24 other claimants who have contacted the university related to Sandusky.

It said the school has been a customer of the insurance company for more than 50 years.

"Despite the substantial insurance premiums that Penn State paid PMA over the course of those years, when various individual claimants began to raise claims and file lawsuits against Penn State concerning the alleged sexual misconduct of Sandusky, PMA failed to provide the coverage for which Penn State had bargained and paid," the school's lawyers wrote.

Pennsylvania Manufacturers' spokeswoman Diane Nafranowicz said Wednesday the company would not comment.

Question for the attorneys; is the insurer going to claim that by covering up the rape that PSU failed to live up to their obligations under the policy?

Yep. Every policy I've ever seen gives the insured (Ped State) the obligation to promptly report a claim or potential claim to the carrier. Some policies require annual renewal applications which include a statement by the insured that they have no knowledge of any claims or potential claims which have not been reported.

But last July it was reported that these parties were already litigating this matter:

The school's primary general liability insurer, the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association Insurance Co., has sued Penn State over PMA's responsibility to cover potential damages from one of the claims. Penn State has countersued.
