Penn State coach Joe Paterno fired: trustees (Reuters)

STATE COLLEGE, Pa (Reuters) ? Legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno and university President Graham Spanier were fired over their handling of a sex abuse scandal, the Penn State board of trustees said on Wednesday.

Earlier on Wednesday, Paterno had said he would retire at the end of the season. But a statement from the trustees said that Paterno's dismissal was effective immediately.
