There were several threads that included discussion on JoePa being an Athletic Director.  I know many searched but couldn't find any conclusive evidence.  It may have been confirmed, but I'm not sure.

In any case, for those interested, [URL='http://espn.go.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/7219014/penn-state-nittany-lions-again-deficient-leadership']here is an article stating that JoePa was the Athletic Director at PSU in 1980.  [/URL]

[I]In 1980, Portland was hired as Penn State's women's basketball coach by Paterno during the brief time he was also the school's athletic director. In newspaper articles in 1986 and 1991, Portland's policy of not wanting lesbian players on the team was made public. As mentioned, in '91, the school's faculty senate reacted by adding sexual orientation to the anti-discrimination policy the school already had.[/I]

It's an interesting read about the failures of PSU's adminstration during another scandal.  [I]
