The 111 football wins that the NCAA voided when it sanctioned Penn State University after the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal could soon be restored as part of a proposed settlement with the NCAA.

The settlement is part of a lawsuit filed by Pennsylvania state Sen. Jake Corman. The suit began as a way to force the $60 million fine money the NCAA levied on Penn State to stay within the state of Pennsylvania, but it became a way to give Penn State supporters a place to legally challenge the validity of the sanctions.

Among them, the most controversial, was the loss of head coach Joe Paterno's wins between 1998, when the first report of abuse against Sandusky, a former assistant coach, was made, to 2011, when Sandusky was charged with abusing 10 boys, many of them on campus.

Sandusky was convicted in 2012 of abusing the victims and is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence, which means he will probably spend the rest of his life behind bars. The same year, Paterno died at age 85.

Restoration of the wins would once again make Paterno the winningest coach in college football history. Ref. CNN

A Penn State University fraternity has been suspended after allegedly posting on Facebook compromising photos of nude and partly nude women, including some who appeared to be asleep or passed out.

College administrators said the Kappa Delta Rho chapter has been suspended for one year and that police and university officials were investigating. No arrests have been made, State College police said.

Earlier this month, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter at the University of Oklahoma was disbanded and two fraternity brothers expelled after the release of a video in which a racist chant was heard. Ref. CNN
