Penn State names board member to oversee athletics


STATE COLLEGE, Pa (Reuters) - Penn State on Wednesday named as acting head of its shattered athletic department a member of the university board that forced out the previous athletic director after he was charged with covering up a child sex abuse scandal.

David M. Joyner, a graduate of the school and a member of its board of trustees, would assume responsibility for the athletic department, which has been rocked by the allegations against a former assistant football coach, the school said.
