tOfficial Case Closed on Paterno's Legacy

  • Achtung Baby said...

    The argument I've seen from the sports law guys is that the lack of control is letting the football coach essentially make decisions that should be made by the President on behalf of the university, or at least the AD.

    This is breaking new ground into the subject of lack of institutional control.

    I don't think anyone can argue what went on at PSU fits the bill.

    If you let the football coach make decisions that should be made by the president, that's lack of institutional control. It was not Paterno's decision to make. It was the president's decision to make in his position as representative of the university. This particular factual situation is not one that has really come up before, thank goodness. So in that sense, new ground will be broken one way or another.

  • "2.1.2 scope of responsibility. [*] The institution’s responsibility for the conduct of its intercollegiate athletics program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletics interests of the institution."

    "10.1 UNETHICAL CONDUCT

    Unethical conduct by a prospective or enrolled student-athlete or a current or former institutional staff member
    (e.g., coach    , professor, tutor, teaching assistant, student manager, student trainer) may include, but is not limited
    to    , the following:"

    IMHO "but is not limited to" leaves a lot of latitude to include pretty much anything & everything.
