The family of Joe Paterno is using a decision issued last week in the Commonwealth Court as support for its case fighting the $60 million sanction the NCAA imposed on Penn State University.
The plaintiffs in Paterno v. National Collegiate Athletic Association opened their strongly-worded memorandum opposing the NCAA’s preliminary objections with a two-paragraph quote from Judge Anne E. Covey’s opinion issued last week in Corman v. NCAA, which called into question the validity of the same $60 million penalty at issue in the Paterno suit.
