Corbett set to sue NCAA over Penn State sanctions

Media Outlet: 

Philadelphia Inquirer

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett announced his intention to file a federal lawsuit against the NCAA over what he contends are illegal sanctions imposed on Pennsylvania State University. Joel Maxcy, a sports economist at Temple's School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, said the scandal is so unusual that there is no real context or precedent to analyze. "Did they [the NCAA] overstep their bounds here? I don't know. You have a really disgraceful moral situation, and [the NCAA] wanted to make a strong stance. Is it outside of their purview? Maybe."
