A decade ago or so, I would have said that reporters and the news media would keep the administrators in line with their reporting. I no longer have that confidence, most seem to have their own agendas.

Is there any way we can monitor these funds and follow them to their intended recipients, etc.? Who will safeguard that the committee and NCAA are doing the right thing? ESPN? ha. I really would like to know and see if maybe something can be done.

Well put. Your concerns are well founded. I hope the funds do go to the victims but I even think some of the programs to which a percentage of this fine money may go to may well have the administrative costs out of line. Sadly, many charities do. There are some charities I will no longer support because an ever increasing amount of funds went to administrative costs (or fund raising costs).

I am not aware of how long Emmert intends head the NCAA. I know from his tenure at LSU, that he tends to hold his department heads and those under him accountable and can be quite a taskmaster with a smile. Someone certainly needs to hold this committee’s feet to the fire because we do not need another scandal to go with the biggest scandal to rock higher education in history.

A task force sounds pretty technical. They’ll probably need office space, staff, cars, travel budget, etc to make it run efficiently. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist).

Something tells me there will be less than full disclosure going forward. Generally speaking, vague missions like this more often than not have difficulty passing the sniff test.

Some good may well come from this horrid scandal, the largest in the history of higher education.

Our very best to all victims of Sandusky. May each one of these young men receive proper assistance and therapy to help them live as normal a life as possible.
