Report: Freeh Source Criticizes NCAA

A source familiar with the investigation into Penn State's response to
former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse scandal
is speaking out against the NCAA.
.
According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, a person connected to the
Freeh report, which condemned Penn State's handling of Sandusky's abuse,
said the NCAA should not have based its harsh sanctions against the
university on the investigation.
.
"That document was not meant to be used as the sole piece, or the large
piece, of the NCAA's decision making," the source told The Chronicle on
Thursday. "It was meant to be a mechanism to help Penn State move forward.
To be used otherwise creates an obstacle to the institution changing."
.

.
NCAA president Mark Emmert said the organization relied on the Freeh
report when coming up with those penalties because it was "vastly more
involved and thorough than any investigation we've ever conducted."
.
The Chronicle's source, however, said that should not have been the case.
.
"The Freeh team reviewed how Penn State operated, not how they worked
within the NCAA's system," the source told The Chronicle. "The NCAA's job
is to investigate whether Penn State broke its rules and whether it gained
a competitive advantage in doing so."
.
The source also told The Chronicle that since the Freeh report didn't
interview Paterno, Schultz or Curley, the NCAA should have furthered the
investigation to see "how far this went."
.
"The NCAA took this report and ran with it without further exploration,"
the source said. "If you really wanted to show there was a nexus to cover
up, interview the coaches. See their knowledge and culpability ..."
.
The failure to do so, according to the source, has damaged Penn State.
.
"The sanctions against Penn State were really overwhelming, and no one
imagined the report being used to do that," the person told The Chronicle.
"People thought it would help others draw conclusions about what happened
and provide a guide for leaders to be able to identify minefields and
navigate through them.

The NCAA's Brave New World
July 23, 2012
By Josephine R. Potuto
Chronicle of Higher Education
http://chronicle.com/article/The-NCAAs-Brave-New-World/133115/
.
.
According to the conclusions in the Freeh report:
.
Four powerful Penn State administratorsthe president, a senior vice
president, the director of athletics, and the head football coachknew of
two episodes related to Sandusky and "repeatedly concealed critical facts
relating to Sandusky's child abuse from the authorities, the university's
Board of Trustees, the Penn State community, and the public at large."
.
The Penn State Board of Trustees failed to exercise its oversight
duties.
.
The four administrators "exhibited a striking lack of empathy for
Sandusky's victims," neither inquiring as to their safety and well-being
nor attempting to identify the child seen with him in the showers in 2001.
.
The four administrators, football coaches, and staff ignored "the red
flags of Sandusky's behaviors."
.
That, because of all this, Sandusky remained free to prey on children
until 2011.
.
Here's what else I know: None of this, standing alone, is reason for NCAA
penalties.
.
But what made this a case for the NCAA's president, Mark Emmert, and the
NCAA Division I Board of Directors is that the Freeh report traced the
reasons for what occurred to the "culture of reverence for the football
program that is ingrained at all levels of the campus community," a
culture that subverted institutional processes and upended the core NCAA
requirement that there must be institutional control of athletics
programs.
.
NCAA action here was unprecedented in that it happened outside the NCAA's
enforcement/infractions processes. Until now, it was unprecedented in that
it treated a lack of institutional control as a free-floating violation
untethered to particular substantive NCAA violations.

NCAA to Study Limits of Presidential Power in Future Disciplinary Cases

Will the NCAAs president have another Roger Goodell moment? And if so,
under what circumstances?
.
Those are among the questions people are asking in the wake of the NCAAs
historic Penn State penalties. And while Mark Emmert, the NCAAs leader,
says he doesnt plan to use the Penn State precedent to extend his powers
in other disciplinary casesin short, acting more like Goodell, the NFLs
commissionermany athletics officials have that fear.
.
To help allay those concerns, the NCAA plans to examine when and under
what circumstances its senior leaders might take future disciplinary
action outside of the traditional enforcement and infractions processes,
Bob Williams, an NCAA spokesman, told The Chronicle on Wednesday.
.
The move follows the extraordinary steps taken this week by top NCAA
leaders in punishing Penn State for its reported role in covering up child
sex abuse by a former football coach. On Monday, Emmert announced stiff
penalties against the university, including a $60-million fine, deep
scholarship cuts, and a four-year bowl ban.
