State, NCAA seek time for talks in Penn State suit
Lawyers for the NCAA, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett and others involved in a lawsuit about the Penn State penalties over child sex abuse by Jerry Sandusky are asking a judge to give them a month to work on a possible settlement.
The sides filed a joint motion Wednesday that says another month would give them a “meaningful opportunity” to resolve the lawsuit.
The NCAA is suing Corbett, state Treasurer Rob McCord and two other state officials over a 2013 law that requires a $60 million penalty being paid by Penn State over Sandusky to stay within Pennsylvania.
The NCAA argues that the law violates the U.S. Constitution.
