It's official. Right decision. Board of Trustees has no choice but to act immediately.

Great move to save the university's rep! If they didn't fire him that university would have lost more than they already have...

It was the only thing to do. The school is going to be sued and this is he first decent thing anyone connected with Penn State has done yet. I'm sure the lawyers insisted on it. But I am still puzzled as to how Paterno was so out of touch that he actually thought he could finish the season.

Such a shame. Sad day for college football. Board of trustees did what they feel like they had to do.

This should crush them in rercuiting and knock them to the bottom of football for years
