STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Penn State's president and athletic director plan to meet with Joe Paterno in the next few months, in part to talk about the 81-year-old coach's future.

Paterno typically meets with school administrators each offseason to review the previous year and look ahead to the next season.
This year's meeting is attracting extra attention because Paterno's contract expires after the 2008 season. The 42-year coaching veteran has said recently he could coach at least a couple more years, and perhaps has many as five.

Penn State President Graham Spanier, responding to a question posed Friday at a meeting of university trustees, said he was certain Paterno would return for his 43rd season this fall.
"He does have a year remaining on his contract, and we expect him to be coaching this fall," Spanier told reporters during a break in the meeting.
