Penn State's student radio station, The Lion WKPS-FM, has cited sources in a tweet indicating that Urban Meyer purchased a house in Boalsburg. Rumors surrounding Urban Meyer's potential involvement as Penn State's next head coach have swirled for months, ever since he stepped down from his post at Florida. Although these reports are yet uncorroborated, it's reasonable to trust in the integrity of the radio station.
At last night's Board of Trustees meeting, Tim Curley was granted administrative leave, stepping down from his position as Penn State's Athletic Airector. In his stead, Graham Spanier appointed Mark Sherburne, a senior administrator in the athletic department.
For the past three years, Sherburne has been Penn State's Associate Athletic Director for Administration. Sherburne works with all 29 of Penn State's varsity teams to ensure NCAA compliance and is the administrator of Penn State's Varsity "S" Club and Football Letterman's Club.
The Penn State Board of Trustees held an executive session tonight at Old Main to discuss the charges against AD Tim Curley and VP Gary Schultz in relation to the Sandusky case.
This morning, news broke that Penn State athletic director Tim Curley (shown on the right) and Gary Schultz, vice president for finance and business, were charged with perjury and failure to report in an investigation into allegations that former football defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abused eight young men.
The news of Jerry Sandusky's charges has brought up many emotions. Unfortunately, many people are focusing on the wrong issue. Let's not think about how this hurt PSU, but rather how PSU can help.
