Contrary to prior reports that Penn State University has decided to take down the statue of deceased head coach Joe Paterno, a member of the Penn State board claims that no vote has been held by the board in regards to the removal of the statue, according to Laura Nichols of StateCollege.com.
Penn State Board member Capt. Ryan McCombie said "We did no such thing," re: voting to take down Joe Paterno statue, made no more comment.

The biggest hope here is that whatever the decision is, it will be a peaceful decision.
