re: #385 darthstar
Paterno will likely be named in civil suits, but the deep pockets here is Penn State itself - they’ll get slammed every which way in this case.
Settlement is likely their best and only recourse here, but those settlements wont help Paterno, who will have to find a way to deal with the fact that he’s getting a nice pension along the way ($500k +) out of his retirement. And don’t think that the lawyers for the victims aren’t looking into how they could go after that too.
