“As part of the resolution, the Paternos have dropped all outstanding claims and the university has agreed to cover certain of the Paterno family’s expenses,” trustee Mark Dambly said. https://t.co/5h4hgpLYRJ

The deal ends a lawsuit against the university by the Paternos’ son Jay Paterno, who is currently a member of the Penn State board.
Jay Paterno had claimed the university-commissioned report into the case had unfairly tarnished him and made him unable to find work as a football coach.
In a phone interview, Jay Paterno called the agreement “a relief” and “a long time coming.”
A sad chapter in college football history is now over.
