The New York Times reports that Penn State is planning on forcing head football coach Joe Paterno out of his position in the wake of a sex scandal involving university officials.

The Times reports:

Jerry Sandusky, a former defensive coordinator under Paterno, has been charged with sexually abusing eight boys across a 15-year period, and Paterno has been widely criticized for failing to involve the police when he learned of an allegation of one assault of a young boy in 2002.
