http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/15490089/penn-state-legal-settlements-jerry-sandusky-accusers-cover-alleged-abuse-dating-1971PSU payouts covered 1971 Sandusky abuse claim
Penn State's legal settlements with Jerry Sandusky's accusers cover alleged abuse dating to 1971, which was 40 years before his arrest, the university said Sunday in providing the first confirmation of the time frame of abuse claims that have led to big payouts.
The disclosure came as Penn State president Eric Barron decried newly revealed allegations that former football coach Joe Paterno was told in 1976 that Sandusky had sexually abused a child and that two assistant coaches witnessed either inappropriate or sexual contact in the late 1980s. Paterno, who died in 2012, said that the first time he received a complaint against Sandusky was in 2001.
Barron said the accusations were unsubstantiated and suggested that the university is being subjected unfairly to what he called rumor and innuendo.
Responding to questions about the president's statement and claims against the school, university spokesman Lawrence Lokman told The Associated Press and ESPN's Josh Moyer that he could confirm that the earliest year of alleged abuse covered in Penn State's settlements is 1971.
Sandusky graduated from Penn State in 1965 and returned as a full-time defensive coach in 1969.
The university has paid out more than $90 million to settle more than 30 civil claims involving Sandusky, now 72 and serving a lengthy prison sentence for the sexual abuse of 10 children. The trial involved only allegations dating back to the mid-1990s.
The settlements, including the one covering the 1971 allegation, were reached after Sandusky's 2012 conviction. But few details have been provided on the payouts by either the school or lawyers for those who said Sandusky victimized them.
The allegations about Paterno and the assistant coaches were cited last week in a ruling by Philadelphia Judge Gary Glazer in litigation between an insurance company and Penn State over how much of the settlement costs the school must bear.
The insurers cited an allegation that in 1976 a boy told the longtime Penn State football coach that he had been molested by Sandusky. The court document also cited statements, from those claiming they had been Sandusky's victims, that two unidentified assistant coaches said they witnessed inappropriate contact between Sandusky and children in the late 1980s.
Lokman declined to answer questions about what steps the university took to verify abuse claims during the settlement process or about what it had done to investigate the new allegations that Paterno and members of his coaching staff knew about Sandusky's abuse decades before his 2011 arrest.
The university hired settlement experts Kenneth Feinberg and Michael Rozen to handle the claims. Feinberg declined comment. Rozen did not respond to an email from the AP.
In 2001, Paterno told high-ranking university officials that one of his assistant coaches reported seeing Sandusky acting inappropriately with a child in a team shower. In 2011, Paterno told a grand jury that he did not know of any other incidents involving Sandusky, who retired from Penn State in 1999.
Paterno was fired following Sandusky's November 2011 arrest, and he died of lung cancer in January 2012. He was not charged with any crime, and his family is pursuing a lawsuit against the NCAA for commercial disparagement.
Three university officials, including former president Graham Spanier, await trial on criminal charges for their handling of the Sandusky scandal.

Sean McDonough is taking Mike Tirico’s chair on Monday Night Football. Brad Nessler is reportedly on his way to CBS. The defections mean ESPN must fill the vacated play-by-play spots on two of its top three college football announcing teams.
Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit will be back to helm the marquee game on Saturday night. The depth chart gets murkier after that. Nessler occupied the other prime time spot with Todd Blackledge. McDonough and Chris Spielman typically handed the featured afternoon broadcast.
Joe Tessitore, who called Thursday night games last season in addition to hosting SEC Nation and College Football Final on Saturdays, will move to the No. 2 team, sources tell The Big Lead. The No. 3 gig will be given to Steve Levy, two sources tell The Big Lead.
Levy is best known for his work on SportsCenter and has been primarily focused on hockey and the NFL in recent years.
An ESPN spokesperson said the network’s college football announcing roster has not been finalized.
Tessitore’s move would have a ripple effect. Adnan Virk is a possible candidate to step into the studio show but does not have strong ties to the SEC.
The wild card in all of this is Brent Musburger, who worked exclusively on the SEC Network last year and could pivot to higher-profile games on ESPN and ABC. ESPN declined comment on if his role would change. -
http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/15518292/ole-miss-rebels-officials-confirm-laremy-tunsil-text-messages-checking-alterationsSources: Ole Miss verifies Tunsil texts as real
Ole Miss officials have determined that a text message conversation published to Miami Dolphins rookie Laremy Tunsil's Instagram account during the NFL draft did happen last year, sources told ESPN's Outside the Lines, but the school is still looking into whether the messages were altered before they were published.
In the conversations, which supposedly occurred in February and April 2015, Tunsil asked Ole Miss assistant athletic director John Miller for money to pay rent and his mother's $305 utility bill. Miller responds to Tunsil's request by replying, "See Barney next week," an apparent reference to Ole Miss assistant athletic director for high school and junior college relations Barney Farrar.
Farrar told ESPN's Joe Schad last month that he has not given Tunsil money and that Tunsil did not ask him for money. According to Farrar's Ole Miss biography, he "plays a vital role in recruiting, which has helped Ole Miss land three straight top-15 signing classes."
On April 28, Tunsil spoke at a news conference after his draft selection in Chicago and admitted to taking money from an Ole Miss coach. He has refused to address the allegations in two subsequent news conferences in Miami.
The text messages were posted to the since-deleted Instagram account @kingtunsil in the second social-media incident of the evening. Before he was drafted by the Dolphins with the 13th overall pick, a video was posted on Tunsil's Twitter account of him smoking from a ? while wearing a gas mask.
The Rebels received an NCAA notice of allegations in late January but have released few details about the investigation. The sources said Ole Miss officials expect to respond to the NCAA later this month.
Meanwhile, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze's attorneys on Wednesday asked a Mississippi judge not to require him to be deposed in a civil suit filed against Tunsil by his stepfather.
Lindsey Miller, Tunsil's estranged stepfather, has sued Tunsil, alleging assault and battery, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress on April 26, two days before the first round of the draft.
Freeze's attorneys requested a protective order prohibiting Lindsey Miller's attorneys from deposing Freeze. If the court rules Freeze can be deposed, his attorneys requested the deposition be completed through written questions and that it focus only on an alleged physical altercation between Tunsil and his stepfather on June 28, 2015.
Freeze's attorneys, J. Cal Mayo Jr. and Kate Embry of Oxford, Mississippi, also asked the judge to restrict attendance at the deposition to only the case's parties and their attorneys and to seal the deposition from public access.
"As the plaintiff has acknowledged, the general public has great interest in information about Defendant, soon to be an NFL player," Freeze's attorneys wrote in the motion. "In addition, the general public has great interest in Freeze and the Ole Miss football program. At this time, the NCAA is considering allegations against the University and its football program, including allegations related to Defendant. The parties should use information disclosed in this litigation solely for purposes of discovering facts relevant to the claims and defenses in this litigation."
Last year, Tunsil and Lindsey Miller filed domestic violence charges against each other. Tunsil said he attacked Miller after his stepfather shouted obscenities at his mother, Desiree Polingo, and pushed her into a table and chair. Miller said Tunsil's attack was unprovoked and that he was trying to stop his stepson's contact with agents. The criminal charges against both men were dropped in August.
Miller's attorney, Matthew Wilson of Starkville, Mississippi, has asked the court to allow him to depose Freeze because he released a statement shortly after the incident, in which he wrote: "This incident occurred Thursday night and involves Laremy defending his mother against his stepfather. Laremy realizes he could have handled it differently, but I am proud of him for standing up for his mother and protecting his family."
Wilson told the court he also wants to depose Freeze to reveal the identity of two men who were with Tunsil on the night of the alleged assault. According to court transcripts, Miller alleged the men pulled Tunsil off Miller during the fight. In previous court proceedings, Tunsil identified the men as a friend named "Zo" from South Carolina and an agent who was attempting to represent Tunsil once he turned pro.
Documents that Outside the Lines obtained from the Regulation and Enforcement Division of the Office of the Secretary of State of Mississippi showed that an agent was penalized for directly contacting a student-athlete from a Mississippi school and a member of that athlete's immediate family on or about June 25, 2015. The agent allegedly met with the athlete and his family without making prior written notification to Ole Miss, which is required under state law.
Through a public records request, Outside the Lines confirmed that athlete was Tunsil. The agent, Isaac Conner, executive vice president and general counsel of A3 Athletics in Knoxville, Tennessee, was fined $250 for not notifying Ole Miss of his planned contact with Tunsil and his family.
Conner and A3 Athletics partner Chad Speck didn't immediately respond to ESPN's requests for comment.
According to Lafayette (Mississippi) Chancery Court records, Tunsil's mother filed for divorce from Lindsey Miller on May 2, six days after he sued her son. Polingo's attorney asked the judge to grant her divorce on the grounds of "adultery; cruel and inhuman treatment, desertion; or in the alternative, irreconcilable differences." Tunsil's mother seeks alimony, $4,000 for her half of remaining personal property in their home and a portion of Miller's retirement and disability funds.
An NCAA investigation into improper benefits began shortly after the charges were filed against Tunsil and his stepfather. Tunsil, an All-America left tackle from Lake City, Florida, was suspended by the NCAA for the first seven games of the 2015 season for accepting improper benefits.
Tunsil's agents and attorneys are investigating his relationship with a former business manager/financial adviser and trying to determine what role, if any, the man might have played in accessing Tunsil's Twitter and Instagram accounts during the NFL draft, people familiar with the situation told Outside the Lines last month.
Tunsil hired a man to work as his business manager and financial adviser in mid-October, about 2½ months before his junior season with the Rebels ended, according to the sources. The man scheduled agents' meetings with Tunsil and his mother and handled other duties for him.
The business manager was fired after other agents informed Tunsil that the man wasn't licensed or registered to work as a financial adviser but was a "runner," a term used to describe someone who gives money and other benefits to entice a player to sign with an agent or financial adviser with whom the runner is working.
The sources said the business manager gave Tunsil a new cellphone in mid-October. People close to Tunsil say they believe the man might have accessed Tunsil's social media accounts before the draft by logging into them through Tunsil's old phone. -
