Paterno Gets $13.4M Pension

Former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno will get a state pension of $13.4 million for his 61-year career at the state’s flagship university. Paterno resigned in disgrace in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal just months before his death in January. His family said in a statement that Paterno’s widow, Sue, will receive an initial payment of $10 million, and the rest will be paid in the future. They will also donate $1.5 million to Penn State–related charities.
