Ex-Penn State Football assistant coach Jay Paterno has been the topic of discussion of former Nittany Lions since he voted against the approved upgrades and expansion of the Lasch Building.

Penn State Football great Lavar Arrington became the latest former Nittany Lion to pile onto Jay Paterno after it was made public knowledge he was one of six Board of Trustees members to vote no to the approval of renovations and expansion to the Lasch Building.

Arrington played for Joe Paterno at Penn State from 1997-1999, where he was a consensus All American in 1999 and took home the Bednarik, Butkus and Lambert awards before he would go on to be the second pick in the draft by Washington in 2000.
