Is the stadium or field named after him, or were they planning on doing that after he retired? True. They also mentioned that Joe's name was going to be removed from some trophy the school gives. Can't recall the name, though. The way this is going, all Joe Pa's body of work with be a distant memory. He will forever be know as the coach that hired the pedophile.

I admire their effort, however.

I admire their effort, however. That was my thinking, too. Especially since he is now all-time wins leader and basically IS Penn State football (or WAS, I guess).

Think about it; they've all been fired. It must just be a rumor.
