STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (MCT) — Mike McQueary, a former Penn State assistant football coach who was a star witness in the Jerry Sandusky trial, wants millions of dollars in damages from Penn State for allegedly ruining his reputation and branding him as part of a cover-up, according to the whistle-blower lawsuit he filed against the university Tuesday.

In the suit, McQueary alleges the university’s treatment of him since Nov. 5, when the charges against Sandusky were made public, has ruined his reputation, crippled him financially and kept him from earning a living doing what he wants—coaching football.
