Penn State football coach Joe Paterno gestures as his son, Scott Paterno, ushers him past media members after arriving at his home Tuesday in State College, Pa. Paterno's support among the Penn State board of trustees was described as "eroding" Tuesday, threatening to end the 84-year-old coach's career amid a child sex-abuse scandal involving a former assistant and one-time heir apparent.
