    The Penn State Nittany Lions are eligible to play in a bowl game this season after the NCAA ruled they are satisfied with the athletic department’s progress in ensuring it functions with integrity. “Penn State’s commitment to the integrity of its athletics department and its progress toward meeting the requirements of the Consent Decree are clear,” said Northern Arizona President Rita Hartung Cheng via NCAA.org, who chaired Monday’s Executive Committee meeting. “We thank Senator Mitchell for his meticulous and exhaustive work over the past two years. Mitchell’s efforts and the dedication of Penn State officials made today’s decisions possible.” Penn...

    Moody’s Investors Service said it may downgrade the credit ratings of Pennsylvania State University in a sign of the potential scope of the fallout from a sexual abuse scandal at the school. (SNIP) The university now carries high ratings because it has been popular with prospective students, top professors and generous donors, but also because of its efforts over the past 20 years to develop its research capabilities. The university owns the Hershey Medical Center, a hospital that contributed 26 per cent of the school’s $4.6bn in operating revenues in the year ended June 30. Penn State’s football programme contributes...

    Former Penn State President Graham Spanier’s status as a professor in the College of Health and Human Development is unknown, university officials said Friday morning.

His wife, Sandra Spanier, an English professor at Penn State, remained in the university directory. Sandra Spanier is the general editor of the Hemingway Letters Project and is listed on the Department of English’s website as a tenure-line faculty member. College of Health and Human Development officials were unavailable to answer...

    More than 500 Penn State students gathered in downtown State College about 11 p.m. Tuesday, then moved to Old Main, where their ranks swelled to more than 1,000. They held signs, sang the alma mater, chanted "We are Penn State," most to show their support for embattled football coach Joe Paterno. The demonstration, as a 12:30, had remained fairly peaceful. Police from State College, Ferguson Township and Penn State were stationed downtown when the crowd began building. Brandan Westfall a sophomore, said he heard of the rally on Facebook. “I’m here to support Joe Paterno, and the media is blowing...

    About 50 minutes before it was about to begin, PSU administrators canceled Joe Paterno's weekly news conference Tuesday. Penn State administrators have canceled Joe Paterno's weekly news conference in which he was expected to field questions about a sex abuse scandal involving a former assistant coach. Paterno's son Scott tells The Associated Press on Tuesday that the decision was made by President Graham Spanier's office. Scott Paterno says his father was disappointed and was prepared to take questions about the scandal as well as the upcoming game against Nebraska. Rocked by an alleged child sex abuse scandal, Penn State issued...

    "Fifty years! Has it really been that long? . . . Are you sure?" That was the reaction of former Temple (and Eagles) great Bucko Kilroy, 19 years ago, when told that the last time his Owls had beaten Penn State had indeed been 1941, when he was a two-way sophomore lineman. On Oct. 18 of that year, in a steady drizzle before an estimated sellout crowd of 25,000 at Temple Stadium, the Owls took a 3-1 lead in the series with a 14-0 win. The teams have met 35 times since. The best Temple has to show for it...
  • Nebraska Pounded By Penn State (Huskers Move Up To #2 in BCS Rankings)

    Seventh-ranked Nebraska was thoroughly outclassed by #25 Penn State on Saturday night, 40-7. And if last year was any guide, this should push them up in the BCS. An embarrassing loss at Colorado last year meant zilch to some of the BCS computer wizards who still ranked the Cornhuskers second after getting murdered in Boulder last November. The Cornhuskers proved last year how hideously flawed the formula was for determining who plays for the national championship and, by eliminating margin of victory from this year's formula, Nebraska's loss will look like nothing more than a one-point fluke on the road....
