STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Penn State running back Journey Brown says he has a heart condition that is forcing him to give up football. Penn State coach James Franklin told reporters Brown’s condition was not COVID-19 related, but it was discovered in September during “a routine COVID test.”“It’s heartbreaking,” Franklin told reporters. Neither Penn State nor Brown have indicated whether he tested positive for COVID-19, but the Big Ten requires cardiac screening and testing of those athletes who do before they can return to competition. Brown was Penn State’s leading rusher in 2019 and was expected to be one of the best backs in the country in 2020. Penn State is off to an 0-3 start and heading to Nebraska on Saturday.

A student has reported an alleged sexual assault by four Penn State fraternity brothers, university police said Tuesday.

Police didn't immediately elaborate on the alleged incident, but the frat's national media spokesperson issued a statement saying they are fully cooperating with local authorities.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (Reuters) - Former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, convicted in 2012 of abusing his position to sexually assault teenage boys, is due in court on Friday to seek a shorter sentence after his current one was ruled unconstitutional. FILE PHOTO: Convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky (C), a former assistant football coach at Penn State University, leaves after his appeal hearing at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, U.S. on October 29, 2015. REUTERS/Pat LittleAfter his conviction, Sandusky, 75, was sentenced to 30 to 60 years, with a mandatory minimum that has become illegal since a trial judge imposed it seven years ago. In June 2012, Sandusky was convicted of 25 felonies and 20 misdemeanors stemming from charges that he molested at least 10 boys between 1994 and 2009. Two other judges who had presided over the case, including Sanduskys trial judge, have recused themselves.

A judge dashed the hopes of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky for a shorter prison term Friday, resentencing him to the same 30 to 60 years imposed against him in 2012 for sexually abusing children. "I apologize that I'm unable to admit remorse for this because it's something that I didn't do," Sandusky told Skerda. Sandusky said the woman ended the phone call by telling him she loves him. Victims said at trial that Sandusky subjected them to a range of abuse, from grooming to violent attacks. The letters described the effect of their abuse as boys and in the years since, including anxiety, difficulty with family and social relationships and anger about what occurred.

Testimony in newly unsealed records claims that Penn State football coach Joe Paterno knew about allegations defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was molesting children as early as 1976. CBS News justice reporter Paula Reid joins CBSN with more.
