"Penn State Contemplates Honoring Joe Paterno with Stadium Field Name"
Penn State trustees and officials are considering naming the football field at Beaver Stadium after disgraced coach Joe Paterno, who was fired in 2011 in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal. The potential move has sparked controversy, as Paterno's legacy remains tarnished despite his record-setting coaching career. The discussions have raised concerns about transparency and compliance with state laws, as private meetings were held to deliberate on the matter.
