The Porterfield Group, the same company that has brought us "The Joe We Know" and "365 Days: A Year in Happy Valley," is now coming out with one last film to celebrate Joe Paterno. But unlike the conventional JoePa tribute, "The People’s Joe" aims to distill the Paterno story we all know.
A Penn State alumna is "disappointed" over the way Joe Paterno and his legacy have been treated the last two years. As such, she'll host a Joe Out tailgate outside of Beaver Stadium before the UMass game to honor the former coach.
Scott Paterno, son of Joe Paterno, has commented on today's NCAA elimination of the bowl ban. He did not comment on his family's ongoing lawsuit against the NCAA.
The NCAA has formally dropped their lawsuit with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, according to the Associated Press.
The organization asked Commonwealth Court Judge to drop the suit filed by State Senator Jake Corman and Pennsylvania Treasurer Rob McCord late Friday. The NCAA also said that if Covey agrees, they will move to end their federal lawsuit against McCord, Gov. Tom Corbett, and the Commonwealth, which challenged the legality of a 2013 state law that required the fine money to stay in the state.
In a letter and video sent in the middle of the night, President Barron and the rest of Penn State's leadership asked the Penn State community to act with civility when discussing differences of opinion in issues related to the university's handling of the Sandusky scandal.
It is widely believed that integrity monitor George Mitchell's second annual report to the NCAA on Penn State's compliance will be released today, which many expect to affect Penn State's sanctions in some way. It certainly seems that this letter is preempting the contents of Mitchell's report, for reasons only speculative.
It's the first game of the year in Beaver Stadium on Saturday. Here's our prop bets.
