Judge Tosses Corbett’s Lawsuit Against NCAA

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP/KDKA) – A federal judge on Thursday threw out the governor’s lawsuit against the NCAA over sanctions against Penn State related to Jerry Sandusky, calling his argument “a Hail Mary pass” that easily warranted dismissal.

U.S. Middle District Judge Yvette Kane’s decision puts an early end to the anti-trust lawsuit Gov. Tom Corbett filed in January in which he sought to overturn a $60 million fine, a four-year bowl ban, scholarship limits and other penalties.

Kane said in her opinion, “These are important questions deserving of public debate, but they are not antitrust questions.” Judge Kane, in the 28 page decision, also said ““The fact that Penn State will offer fewer scholarships over a period of four years does not plausibly support its allegation that the reduction of scholarships at Penn State will result in a market-wide anticompetitive effect.”

This is all I got ==>

Too bad, so sad, for one-term-Tommy. It was a bogus lawsuit IMO and made him look like a jackass.

(Oh wait....)

1. I hope he is one term. How did he get in, in the first place?

2. The same way all the others like him get elected.

Too many low-information, Fox-watching, anti-choice voters go to the polls.

Oh, and like so many of the others, Corbett told some nice stories during the campaign that weren't exactly true. The willfully gullible believed him.

3. Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Hopefully, Democrats will try not to let that happen again

4. It would be funny except for the fact that the taxpayer pays the bill

for Corbett's frivolous lawsuit. Corbett's lawsuit was purely political and should be paid for out of public funds.
