This spring, six Penn State (http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/teams/ppb;_ylt=AnIIlqznngc7PDa6l4M5ArHtxLsF) football players were arrested and charged for crimes stemming from an off-campus fight April 1 in which at least 15 Nittany Lions were present. The charged included a couple of star players, although what apparently bothered coach Joe Paterno the most was how many of his kids were willing to be involved.
And so Paterno, 80 now but no less tough, no less disciplined, hatched a plan to set things right within his program. He'll let the local legal and student judicial process play out, but regardless he decided that to keep people from thinking his team was trash, it'll spend the fall cleaning it up.
According to Paterno, the Penn State football team will clean Beaver Stadium after each home football game this fall. It'll gather garbage, sweep stairs and maybe even hose parts down.
It'll be Notre Dame (http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/teams/nnx;_ylt=ApSLWyqioZ2B91VIrqif7sDtxLsF) on Saturday, nacho spills on Sunday.
