The New York Times reported this weekend that settlement discussions were taking place between the attorneys for the plaintiffs and Penn State . While there are statute of limitations and immunity issues lurking out there, a " fair settlement" will be the only appropriate closure of the worst chapter in Penn State history. My gut tells me that these cases will settle individually in the $750,000 to $ 5 million range, and will be paid by Penn State with contributions from their insurers.
Of course we'll never know, as an ironclad confidentiality agreement will attach to the settlements. We can only hope that this settlement money will provide some security and comfort in life, that these young men might never of had. It certainly won't erase the memories!
