The NCAA is facing a new legal attack after the family of the late coach Joe Paterno was joined by former players and others connected to Penn State in a lawsuit seeking to overturn the landmark sanctions for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Penn State will not renew the contract of athletic director Tim Curley, who has been on leave since being charged last year with perjury and failing to report a child sex abuse allegation against Jerry Sandusky.
A former Penn State graduate assistant who complained he saw former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky showering with a young boy on campus and testified at his sex abuse trial sued the university on Tuesday for what he calls defamation and misrepresentation.
More than a month after an explosive investigative report accused ousted Penn State President Graham Spanier of burying child-sex-abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky, Mr. Spanier so far has avoided criminal charges — unlike two of his former subordinates.

Penn State spokesman Dave La Torre said the school was not a party to any litigation that might be filed by the family and remained committed to "full compliance" with the sanctions.
