We filed (the motion to dismiss) because we feel the allegations against the athletic director and against Penn State are unfounded.

If we had not filed a motion by 10:30 this morning, he would have received his sentence of natural life... in essence escaping any additional responsibility for the death of Ryan Harris.

We approached (PLU athletic director Laurie Turner) about it and she was for it. It's good for each of our programs.

The director is the channel through which a motion picture reaches the screen.

You have to go through channels and get permission from my athletic director [Laing Kennedy] before you can talk to me. Duquesne has not talked to my athletic director. Until that time, it's not serious.

My position would be that I couldn't comment about anything until speaking with the chancellor and the athletic director. I'm assuming there would be no position until the situation is resolved.
