Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, a pro-Paterno group that has organized alumni over recent years in an attempt to change Penn State governance and right purported wrongs related to the Sandusky scandal, opposed today's settlement news that restored Penn State's 112 vacated wins and replaces the 2012 consent decree that the group has lobbied so hard against.
“Today is a victory for due process. Today is a victory for the people of Pennsylvania. Today is a victory for Penn State Nation,” Corman said.
Friday's settlement agreement with the NCAA restored Joe Paterno's 111 vacated wins. His 409 victories are the most all time.
Joe Paterno's family released a statement today after the announcement of the NCAA's settlement with Penn State that restored the late coach's 111 lost wins.
The NCAA announced that it has reached a settlement in the lawsuit filed by State Senator Jake Corman and Treasurer Rob McMord. The consent decree, and thus the sanctions, have been replaced with a new agreement. The 112 vacated wins have been restored and Joe Paterno once again has 409 wins. The NCAA also agreed to keep the $60 million fine within the state of Pennsylvania to benefit victims of child sexual abuse.
Penn State's ranked first in the latest women's Capital One Cup standings with a chance at winning $400,000 in scholarships.
