Despite the NCAA’s recent success in fending off a lawsuit from Gov. Tom Corbett, two Penn State trustees are confident the Paterno family’s approach will have better luck.
In an interview with the Centre Daily Times, trustees Anthony Lubrano and Alvin Clemens said they are not seeking any personal monetary damages, but instead they are after a reversal of the sanctions the NCAA imposed on Penn State.
“I think the alumni need some kind of closure,” Clemens said. “There’s just no justice and somewhere in there, there has to be some kind of justice.”
The lawsuit was filed in late May in Centre County court and will be heard by a judge from Potter County, John Leete.
The issue at hand won’t get into defending Joe Paterno’s character or what he or anyone else at Penn State knew about the allegations of child abuse against Jerry Sandusky.
“We did not take this action lightly,” said Boston lawyer Paul Kelly, who is representing the Paterno supporters, who include Penn State faculty and former football players. “This was the product of a lot of thought and reflection.”
