Updated timeline of the Sandusky Scandal - Early 2009 - Corbett Given Responsibility to Investigate

http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2013/01/timeline_of_sandusky_sex_abuse.html#incart_river_default

Now our illustrious Governor is back in the headlines, belatedly fighting the NCAA penalty against Penn State in the courts, after he failed to do anything over the past year as a PENN STATE BOARD MEMBER. Corbett could have insisted that the Penn State Board of Trustees approve the NCAA agreement, and could have sought changes at that time. Instead, he waits until many months after the penalty agreement was put into effect. I predict the courts will refuse to get involved in a private contract between two entities.

To recognize the occasion, the Harrisburg paper has published a detailed chronology of the events, including information that was not previously assembled in one place.

It appears many PA residents also want to get to the bottom (pun unintended) of his complicity in the crimes.
