Ohio's bill went further than
a similar one in Wisconsin by

Penn St. coach has no
plans to resign amid
new allegations
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -
Support for keeping Joe Paterno
in his job coaching Penn State
football is eroding among the
board of trustees, threatening
to end the 84-year-old coach's
career amid a child sex-abuse
scandal involving a former assis-
tant and one-time heir apparent.
A person familiar with the
trustees' discussions and who
used the term "eroding".said
it-was unclear what the conse-
querces for Paterno will be and
that a decision could be ren-
dered before the board meets on
Friday.
Penn State President Graham
Spanier also has lost support
among: the Board of Trustees,
the person said, but again, how
much was unclear.
Paterno's son, Scott, said his
father hasn't spoken with Penn
State officials or trustees about
stepping down. Addressing
"reporters outside his father's
house, he said Joe Paterno plans
to nOt only coach in Saturday's
game against Nebraska, but for
the long haul.
"No one has asked Joe to
resign," Scott Paterno told The
Associated Press in a text mes-
sage.
Penn State administrators
canceled Paterno's weekly
news conference during which
he was expected to field ques-
tions about the sex abuse scan-
dal involving former defensive
coordinator Jerry Sandusky.
The former defensive coordina-
tor on Paterno's two national
championship teams in 1980s
was arrested Saturday on charg-
es of sexually abusingeight boys
over 15 years.
His lawyer has said Sandusky
is innocent.
Scott Paterno said the deci-
sion to cancel was made by
Spanier's office, and that his
father was disappointed.
"I know you guys have a lot
of questions. I was hoping I
could answer them today. We'll
try to do it as soon as we can,"
Joe Paterno said to a group of
reporters as he got into his car.
About a dozen students stood
nearby, chanting, "We love you,
Joe."
A second person familiar
with the board's discussions
said it was focused on the hor-
rific aspects of the charges
against Sandusky; two univer-
sity officials have also been
charged in the scandal, accused
of failing to notify authorities
when told Sandusky assaulted a
boy in a shower used by the foot-
ball team.
Trustee David Joyner said he
was unaware if any decision was
made on Paterno's future.
Authorities said Paterno, who
testified in the grand jury pro-
ceedings that led to the charges
against Sandusky, is not a tar-
get of the investigation. But the
state police commissioner chas-
tised him and other school offi-
cials for not doing enough to try
to stop the suspected abuse.
Meanwhile, another potential
victim has contacted authori-
ties.
The man, now an adult, con-
tacted the department on Sun-
day after seeing media accounts
of Sandusky's arrest, Lt. David
Young at the Montoursville sta-
tion said. Investigators took a
statement from him and for-
warded it to the Rockview sta-
tion for officers there to pursue,
Young said.
