HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Oversight of Penn State's athletics program is ending early because a monitor believes the university has made sufficient progress after a child sex-abuse scandal highlighted shortcomings in its operations.

Athletics integrity monitor Charles Scheeler announced Monday that the agreement involving Penn State, the Big Ten Conference and the NCAA will conclude in December instead of in 2017.
