Eric Barron, Penn State University's (PSU) president, publicly shunned the Louis Freeh Report after apparently finishing his review of the document.

Speaking exclusively with the Associated Press, Barron, who was hired last spring, said the former FBI director treated his report like a prosecutor would in a trial. PSU commissioned the Free Report in Nov. 2011 to determine how much of high-ranking administrators knew of Jerry Sandusky molesting young boys on campus.

The report was also the basis of the NCAA's historic sanctions against the school, though most of those have been rescinded ahead of time. PSU has also found permanent replacements for administrators and football staffers Freeh found to have had knowledge of Sandusky's crimes.

"I have to say, I'm not a fan of the report," Barron told the AP. "There's no doubt in my mind, Freeh steered everything as if he were a prosecutor trying to convince a court to take the case."

Released in July 2012, the Freeh Report scathingly criticized former administrators such as Graham Spanier, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, as well as the late head coach Joe Paterno for essentially contributing to an organized cover-up for Sandusky.

Though Paterno passed away in Jan. 2012, he was fired before the end of the 2011 football season, as were Spanier, Curley and Schultz. The latter three are also awaiting trial for charges relating to the alleged cover-up.

"I think it's increasingly clear that none of the things that transpired had any impact on the field," Barron said. "And therefore I think almost universally, people say, well, those teams win those games. I think it's equally clear that in almost every instance we pay a penalty if we don't follow a process. And the NCAA stepped out of their process."

The NCAA first lifted Penn State's four-year bowl ban and announced the football team's scholarships would be fully restored starting next season. Most recently, the NCAA restored all of Paterno's previously vacated wins between 1998 and 2011.

"Of course I'm concerned about antagonism," Barron told the AP. "And I'm concerned particularly because if you go to the foundations of all those individuals, they all love Penn State, they're all giving an enormous amount of time to Penn State, and for no other reason than they believe in the institution."
