Nike, Inc. has announced that it will remove Joe Paterno's name from the company's child care center because of the findings of a Penn State investigation into the handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal.

Nike co-founder and chairman Phil Knight, who received a standing ovation when he defended Paterno at the coach's memorial service in January, also issued a statement.
"According to the investigation, it appears Joe made missteps that led to heartbreaking consequences," Knight said. "I missed that Joe missed it, and I am extremely saddened on this day. My love for Joe and his family remains."
