Judge says NCAA can get more info on Jay Paterno job search
HARRISBURG – A Pennsylvania judge is giving the NCAA the ability to get more information about efforts by former assistant coach Jay Paterno’s to find employment.
Centre County court officials made public Monday an order directing Paterno and former Penn State assistant coach Bill Kenney to provide complete responses about their efforts to find work before 2011, the year the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal broke.
Jay Paterno doesn’t have to produce drafts and notes from writing “Paterno Legacy,” a memoir, but he does have to give the defendants polling data and other information about his short-lived 2014 candidacy for lieutenant governor.
Kenney, Paterno and Paterno’s father’s estate are pursuing a civil claim against college sports’ governing body.
A second filing suggests trial is likely a year away.
