During his Tuesday press conference, Joe Paterno said the media are creating the perception that Penn State has an image problem.
The reality is this, though:
After an off-campus fight in April involving several players, Paterno said he wasn't tolerating this type of behavior. Since then, he's suspended two starters, with senior tailback Austin Scott being the latest last week.
Another starter, sophomore tight end Andrew Quarless, and three other players were cited for underage drinking. Two of them - freshmen Ryan Breen and Joe Suhey - were cited this past weekend.
Paterno, 80, is also looking into a situation in which two players might have been involved in a fight after Saturday's Big Ten win against Iowa.
