Workers handle the statue of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno before removing it on July 22, 2012, in State College, Pa. The university announced that it was taking down the monument in the wake of an FBI report that found the late coach and three other top Penn State administrators concealed sex abuse claims against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
