Paterno Won't Talk About Drunk Football Players

Paterno Mum on Investigation

Penn State University head football coach Joe Paterno is saying little about an incident his football players were involved in earlier this month.

Earlier in April, police said the football players "pushed their way into the apartment and began assaulting several males who were attending a party." They were said to be uninvited and assaulted at least three men.

"You know more about it than I do," Paterno said when asked if he thought the incident would be a distraction to the teams Spring practices and workouts.

"You talking to the police? It hasn't been a distraction, yet. I don't know what's going to happen. ... I've never tried to worry about things unless I have to worry about them," the longtime coach and Happy Valley icon concluded.
