The Governor is still under criticism for filing a lawsuit against the NCAA on the Penn State sanctions.
We had an opportunity to sit down with him Monday and he has an easy answer to his critics as to why now was the time to file.
The governor says the $60 million in fines against PSU are too much for the long term economic health of Pennsylvania.
He says the lawsuit is the result of an in-depth investigation into the rights of the NCAA to levy sanctions so quickly and without a hearing.
The governor's response to criticism that he waited so long to file suit against Penn State is that everyone should read the entire complaint.
"I hope everyone can read and understand why I brought this lawsuit," stated the Governor.
Corbett says the NCAA didn't follow its own rules and had Penn State's back against the wall.
"One major infraction that was criminal and the NCAA’s punishments didn't play by the rules and should be enjoined for that," added Corbett.
That lawsuit was filed last week in State College.
