UConn coach Paul Pasqualoni released a statement on the NCAA sanctions handed down today to Penn State, his alma mater. Pasqualoni graduated from the school in 1972 and was a walk-on under coach Joe Paterno.
“As I have said in the past, Penn State is still a tremendous university -- and always will be. I feel bad about this happening about my alma mater, but I would feel bad if this happened at any school. The sanctions handed down by the NCAA today are severe, but with the intent of making positive changes at the school. The report that was recently submitted to the Penn State indicates that there is evidence that major mistakes were make there and the covering up of a horrific situation.”
