Praised Be Our Good Governor.

       Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbitt has just sued the NCAA over it's sanctions against Penn State University last year. Now I do think those sanctions were, at least. partly unfair and I think the NCAA often acts more like a despot than a leader of collegiate sports activities. But it does seem a little late for the good governor to try to get fair treatment for Penn State.
       Let's look at the good governor's past history in connection to this problem. First, as the Pennsylvania Attorney General, he made a choice not to prosecute ex assistant coach Sandusky on child molestation charges. Instead he convened a Grand Jury that took nearly a decade to indict the man. I should point out that Corbitt received substantial donations towards his campaign for Governor from friends of Sandusky. I'm not accusing him of anything, but I do agree that he must be investigated in this matter.
       Then we need to remember that he agreed with the findings at the time and was silent for all this time. So the question has to be, why now? Why is Governor Corbitt suddenly outraged by these sanctions?
       Could it be that he's running for reelection in two years? That his campaign will begin in earnest in one year" That his poll numbers are in the tank? Does he fear that his too close friendship with the natural gas industry might hurt him? Why? Because he refused to levy a gas severance tax on the industry. And instead, after taking much heat for not doing it, levied a much less fruitful tax per well.
       So the good governor is trying to make up for his mistakes. Or, the good governor is trying to spruce up his image for his upcoming election campaign. Or, there's something's in it for our good governor. Do Penn State Fans vote? Perish the thought.
