STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - An antitrust lawsuit by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett against the NCAA argues the organization acted illegally and was motivated by a desire to gain power for its president and weaken the university.

The 43-page complaint being filed Wednesday seeks to vacate all of the punishment related to the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal, including a $60 million fine and four-year bowl ban.

The lawsuit claims the NCAA was motivated by a desire to ``gain leverage in the court of public opinion.''

The NCAA says it's disappointed in Corbett's lawsuit, calling it meritless and an ``affront'' to Sandusky's victims.

Corbett says the university and state have been harmed by what he calls ``harsh penalties.''
