Joe Pa reduces the punishment.

[Solon]

After a fight this spring, Joe Paterno decided to punish his players by having them help clean the stadium after home games.

After Saturday's beat-down, Coach decided the players didn't have to do it.

What do you think? Is the coach getting soft?

Incidentally, the team has had several more brushes with the law this school year, including a starting running back being charged with rape. He's now awaiting trial (and is presumed innocent until proven guilty, of course), but it's still bad press.

I love JoePa, but I think he gets away with a lot of things that any other coach would get canned for.
