Statue of Hall of Fame Penn State coach Joe Paterno taken down
By Associated Press, Updated: Sunday, July 22, 11:02 AM
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The famed statue of Joe Paterno was taken down from outside the Penn State football stadium Sunday as the NCAA announced it would be issuing sanctions against the university whose top officials were accused in a scathing report of burying child sex abuse allegations against a now-convicted retired assistant.
Workers lifted the 7-foot-tall statue off its base and used a forklift to move it into Beaver Stadium as the 100 to 150 students watched, some chanting, “We are Penn State.”
-Father Joe and the cult that is Penn State.............hopefully the last of its kind!
