UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Two Penn State football players ordered to stand trial for their roles in an off-campus fight were expelled from school for part of the summer but will be allowed to take part in preseason practice.
Defense attorneys for starting safety Anthony Scirrotto and defensive lineman Chris Baker said yesterday their clients have accepted the university's punishment and will be expelled for the second summer semester, which begins July 3.
The players are scheduled for trial in early August on charges including burglary, criminal trespass, simple assault and harassment in connection with a fight April 1 at an apartment.
