Nail in Emmert's coffin: NCAA influenced Freeh's "independent" report on PSU

The court documents filed Tuesday but released publicly Wednesday, obtained by "Outside the Lines," strongly suggest the NCAA provided an investigative blueprint to Freeh. Correspondence between Freeh and the NCAA began less than two weeks after Freeh's firm was hired by Penn State, with a Nov. 30, 2011, request from NCAA president Mark Emmert to speak by phone with Freeh.

Trying to hammer Penn State is probably the best thing he ever did.

.....and this is a problem because.....?
If I were a PSU fan, I would just let this whole discussion die. What Sandusky did was disgusting.

I haven't really been following this, is Penn St. suing the NCAA? I wonder if the NCAA saw all this stuff coming out and that's why they lifted the sanctions.

The whole news media "facts" - the Freeh Report, the NCAA and the blackmail to accept those ridiculous and unwarranted sanctions - was all utter dross.
Only total sheeple idiots ever believed the made-up cover-up story of Paterno perpetuated by media from the beginning.

From the linked story:
It reads like Freeh chose what to investigate after hearing the NCAA's input. I'm not sure why this is terribly damning. Freeh couldn't very well fail to communicate with the NCAA RE: what they knew and what they thought was suspicious any more than he could fail to investigate Sandusky, PSU, Jo Pa etc.
It seems reasonable to think (based on the allegations in teh story) that Freeh heard their input and then made his own decisions RE: what to pursue (this is implied in the story as well). The fact that the NCAA asked for updates from him to deal with the ongoing media story hardly seems damning either - what else were they going to do? Issue statements that their investigator would later contradict?
Assuming Freeh was the man driving the investigation it reads like the NCAA followed his lead - rather than the other way around.
And why is this story completely missing commentary from Freeh? The heart of the accusation is that he was improperly influenced. I'd think the former director of the FBI would be pretty ticked off to hear that assertion. He was under no obligation to bend his knee to the authority of the NCAA - if anything the NCAA being image conscious made them likely to accept anything he said out of concern that he could shame them in public for non-compliance with his recommendations.

In a statement, Penn State said, "It has been public knowledge for almost three years that the University had agreed that the NCAA and the Big Ten Conference would monitor the progress of the Freeh investigation. While the NCAA may have made suggestions to the Freeh Group with respect to its investigation, the scope of the Freeh investigation was established by the Penn State Board of Trustees, as set forth in the Freeh engagement letter, not by the NCAA.

If Goodall is still employed, Emmert will skate. Colleges should just form another association and leave the NCAA.
