Bowman won't be punished by team

The Big Ten's annual meetings of coaches and athletic directors kicked off Tuesday in Chicago, meaning Joe Paterno was in the news again.

The Penn State coach backed off his campaign for the conference to add a 12th team, according to ESPN.com.

But more importantly, at least for this upcoming season, was the 82-year-old coming out and telling ESPN.com that linebacker Navorro Bowman will not face any more punishment from the team after his probation was extended last month.

Bowman's 106 tackles led the Nittany Lions in 2008, a sophomore campaign that culminated with a first team All-Big Ten selection.

Matt Fortuna is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Collegian. He has previously covered the men's tennis, soccer and basketball teams. A traditionalist, he would like nothing more than to see Joe Paterno throw it back to his Brooklyn days and install the single-wing offense this season.

Nate Mink is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian and a 5-foot-10 sesquipedalian from Allentown who has tried to grow facial hair for 20 years. Sadly, he has been unsuccessful thus far. He is anxious to get a new driver's license in September and hopes the bartenders at Zanzibar in Ann Arbor believe he's 21.

Wayne Staats is a junior majoring in journalism and history and is a football reporter for the Collegian. He previously covered the baseball and women's basketball teams. He never made it far playing competitive football, unless Nerf football in grade school counts.
