Joe Paterno's family turned down an offer by Penn State to rename Beaver Stadium after the late coach as part of a package deal that would have prohibited the family from suing the university, The Patriot-News reported Sunday.
A source close to the Paterno family told the newspaper that renaming the field "was never important to Joe."
According to The Patriot-News, renaming the stadium was one of three items in the package that would have come in exchange for a full release.
The school also offered an apology for firing Paterno over the phone and said they would fully honor the late coach's contract.
