Nike chairman Philip Knight chastised Penn State's board of trustees while speaking during Joe Paterno's 2 1/2 hour Memorial Service held Thursday at the school's basketball arena. Knight said the villain in the scandal "was that investigation and not Joe Paterno." The remark drew a standing ovation from the crowd of 12,000. Paterno was lauded by many during the day and the closing remarks came from his son Jay who told the crowd his father died with a clear conscience.
