Penn State Coach Bradley Says Football Team Would Play in Bowl

Penn State University’s interim football coach Tom Bradley said he’s assured players they’ll take part in a bowl game if invited, after questions of whether the team would participate in the postseason amid a child sex-abuse scandal that led to the firing of coach Joe Paterno.

“The players and the guys on this team didn’t have anything to do with any of this that’s surrounding them,” Bradley said at a news conference. “I did address that because there were rumors swirling around that if we make it we won’t be able to go to a bowl game. I told them that was untrue.”
