Spanier, one of the presidents of the oldest and highest paid university in the nation, which helped raise the professional profile of Penn State during his tenure, was also removed by the board. As was announced at a press conference that the 84-year Paterno would coach another game, a gasp rose from the crowd of several hundred journalists, students and cameramen who were present.
"We thought that because of the difficulty that engulfed our university, and they are severe, it is necessary to make a change in management control in a new direction," said John Surma Jr., Vice President's table.
Senior university officials were clearly trying to stop the damage caused by the humiliating arrest on Saturday of the former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Sandusky was a key element of the football program, but prosecutors said it was a serial pedophile who has been authorized to add to the victims in recent years, partly because he had served the university could not or not refuses to leave.
Sandusky was charged with molesting eight children over 15 years, and two officials from the best universities - ha - Tim Curley, the athletic director, and Gary Schultz, senior vice president of finance and business, was charged with perjury and failing to inform the authorities who knew of these allegations. Paterno and Spanier was not charged in the case, although there were questions about everything you could if they fail to,Sandusky.Paterno had announced on Wednesday it planned to retire at the end of football season, but the statement was released apparently without the approval of the Board. "At this stage, the Council should not spend one minute to discuss my condition," Paterno said in his statement. "They have more important issues to deal with. I want to make it so easy for them as I can . It is a tragedy. It is one of the great sorrows of my life. In retrospect, I wish I had more. "
However, the Board of Directors has unanimously refused to let him off the end of the season, in his forty-sixth as head football coach and his sixty-second over all at the College. Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley moved to interim head coach. Paterno said at his shot over the phone, according to the Death, who is chairman of U.S. Steel.
Late Wednesday night, Paterno issued a second statement.
"I am disappointed by the decision of the board, but I have to accept it."The tragedy took place, and we must all have patience to give the legal process to proceed. I appreciate the outpouring of support, but I want to emphasize that everyone should remain calm and Honor of the University, its property and everything we love, "he said in a statement.
"This university is a large and complex institution, and although I have always acted with dignity and interests of the university, it is our responsibility," Spanier said in a statement. "In this situation, I think is the best interest of the University to give my successor a clear path to resolve the problems before us."
Rodney A. Erickson, Executive Vice President and Provost, is the acting.
After the ads Spanier and Paterno, the conference on the new wording immediately took a little desperate and violent. The questions were shouted angry Surma, who responded to them, while other board members sat behind him and his side. A cameraman said repeatedly: "The campus will burn tonight."
The scandal and the impact it has left the campus of Penn State generally calm in a state of shock. Dozens of students poured into the downtown streets in the immediate aftermath of the news conference. Many held up cell phones to take pictures and other exploded vuvuzelas and air horns. Some climbed lampposts, tried to reverse street signs and overturned garbage cans. Other set of fireworks from the roofs of buildings, and a television news truck was turned sideways. A lamppost was demolished, and the police pepper-sprayed some in the crowd.
