Rose Bowl officials say
Penn State violated two media access agreements at this year's game.Bowl officials, who met in Pasadena this week, said in a statement that the first violation occurred when coach Joe Paterno failed to give a pre-game interview to ABC broadcasters.
The second violation was for failing to open the locker room to media after the game. Penn State doesn't open its locker room after games at Beaver Stadium.
Bowl officials said "appropriate responsive actions" were approved, but did not release details. A BCS official confirmed to ESPN's Joe Schad that there was a monetary fine.
Penn State officials deferred comment to bowl officials. A bowl spokeswoman said Thursday that all sides consider the issue closed.
