Former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky will spend the rest of his life behind bars after being sentenced Tuesday to 30 to 60 years in prison for his role in the Penn State sex-abuse case.

Former Penn State head coach Joe Paterno died of lung cancer Sunday morning surrounded by his family. Paterno was diagnosed with what his family called a treatable form of the disease shortly after he was fired.

The Gopher men’s basketball team earned their 2nd straight road win 80-66 at Penn State Sunday afternoon.  Joe Coleman led the Gophers with 23 points including making 13 of 14 from the free throw line.

The recent Penn State sex abuse scandal has been a constant in national news headlines over the past few weeks. Due to the ubiquitous story, country singer Vince Gill was reminded of a situation in his past where he was a near victim of sexual abuse.

Legendary coach Joe Paterno may be in his final days on the sidelines at Penn State, according to The New York Times. The report cites two unnamed sources close to the PSU Board of Trustees who say that, while the exact timing and manner of his exit is still being discussed, it is clear that Paterno will not be back to coach the Nittany Lions next season.
