Penn State to share football revenue with child abuse research center
Still embroiled in the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal, Penn State University has said it will give $1.1 million of its football revenue to a new research and treatment center for child abuse.
According to the Associated Press, the university will give more than originally planned to the Center for the Protection of Children, and has already donated $1.5 million from Big Ten Bowl revenues.
Sandusky, the former assistant football coach, is charged with sexually abusing young boys he worked with as a coach through his Second Mile charity.
