college sports trump all

(CNN)Joe Paterno could soon regain his title as the winningest coach in major college football history.

The 112 Penn State victories that the NCAA voided -- 111 of them Paterno's -- when it sanctioned Penn State University following the Jerry Sandusky scandal are likely being restored as part of a proposed settlement with the NCAA. Penn State's board of trustees unanimously approved it, and now the NCAA and a judge will have to accept the settlement.

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 Paterno's wins between 1998, when the first report of abuse against then-assistant coach Sandusky was made, to 2011, when Sandusky was charged with abusing 10 boys, many of them on campus.

1. You had to know that was coming.

Sports rule, everything on every major college campus and off. I love college sports but they need to be put back in their place on campus. No way do I believe Paterno didn't know, or didn't understand the gravity of what went on, he was protecting himself and his "legacy".
