The sex scandal at Penn State University is growing into a monster. Allegations are so fierce that even 84-year old Joe Paterno, a coaching legend, might be forced out of his job. U of M head coach Jerry Kill says it would be sad if Paterno's career ends like that.

Star Tribune sports columnist Sid Hartman makes it clear that he's no supporter of Penn State's Jerry Sandusky, but doesn't think Nittany Lions football coach Joe Paterno should be the scapegoat for the sex scandal surrounding the university.

Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, 84, is retiring at the end of this season, saying the effects of a child sex abuse scandal involving former heir apparent Jerry Sandusky have been overwhelming.

Legendary Minnesota sports journalist Sid Hartman says the Penn State sex scandal won't taint his memory of football coach Joe Paterno, who died Saturday.

Former Gophers head football coach Tim Brewster is weighing in on Joe Paterno's announcement to retire at the end of the season. In a tweet he wrote, "Joe Paterno retiring at seasons end is a sad ending for him and college football but the right one."

Gophers football coach Jerry Kill met with soon-to-be athletics director Norwood Teague and told him the Gibson-Nagurski football complex needs "immediate" upgrades. Kill says it's an "eyesore in recruiting," but for about $3 million it can be fixed.

Jerry Kills says the Gophers' football team has changed over the course of the season. Kill says his team has played with more confidence since the second half of a loss to Nebraska in October. Despite losing all but one game during the stretch, Kill says his team is tougher.

Gophers head football coach Jerry Kill is recovering in the hospital after suffering a seizure after Saturday's loss to Northwestern at TCF Bank Stadium. According to the University of Minnesota Athletic Department, Kill was in the locker room when he suffered the seizure.
