Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) on Tuesday said he will sue the NCAA in federal court over the punitive sanctions levied against Penn State University for the institution’s failures in the child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, the Associated Press reports:
The Republican governor scheduled a Wednesday news conference on the Penn State campus in State College to announce the filing in U.S. District Court in Harrisburg.
A person associated with the university and knowledgeable about the matter, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the lawsuit had not been filed, told The Associated Press that it is an antitrust action.
