How much was joe paterno paid?

Answer 1

Along with his wife, Paterno made a one-time endowment donation of $4,000,000 in 1994, and has made an annual contribution of $100,000 since, including 2012. These two programs alone (and there are others), have generated nearly $6,000,000 towards PSU and the library that bears his name. It does beg one to wonder - with all PSU has done to strip his name and association with the university, will they be as quick to act in returning these donations back to the Paterno family.
