It may have been scripted, but the message was clear -- President Rodney Erickson has the overwhelming support of the Board of Trustees in his actions relating to the NCAA consent decree.

The Penn State Board of Trustees will hold a special phone conference Sunday evening at 5 p.m. to discuss the consent decree with the NCAA accepting the sanctions, a board source confirmed to Onward State earlier today.

Earlier this afternoon, lawyers on behalf of the Joe Paterno family sent an official appeal letter to the NCAA relating to the sanctions levied against the Penn State football team. The letter can be found below in it's entirety.
