In his first interview since going to prison in October, former Penn State assistant football coach and convicted sex offender, Jerry Sandusky, denied allegations from a key witness and also spoke about legendary coach Joe Paterno's knowledge of his sexual abuse.

The statue of Joe Paterno that has caused a long debate amongst the Penn State community has been removed.

The Penn State Board of Trustees will not order the removal of Joe Paterno’s statue, at least not in the immediate future and maybe not ever.

It turns out that while the trial was being played out, Joe was still negotiating deals for his position as head football coach for Penn State, according to the NY Times.

The seven foot bronze statue stands outside Beaver Stadium and has, until now, been a symbol of Paterno’s greatness as a coach. Now it is a reminder of one of the biggest scandals in NCAA history. And I say, leave it up. 

Thousands gathered on the Penn State campus to pay their final respects to longtime football coach Joe Paterno.

Leave it up to Westboro Baptist Church to picket the funeral of former Penn State Coach Joe Paterno.

Joe Paterno, the former head coach of Penn State football, was reported to have died at the age of 85.  It was reported earlier this evening by the Penn State University newspaper, Onward State and spread throughout the internet by CBS Sports.
