FILE - In this Oct. 8, 2010 file photo, Ashley Buchan holds her 4-year-old nephew Caleb Anthony, as she reaches to touch the face of the statue of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno outside Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa. In 2012, the school removed this Paterno statue after a university-commissioned report accused the late coach and three other administrators of concealing sex abuse claims against retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Fans of the late coach are commissioning a new statue to be placed across from the school at a local restaurant. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic,File)
