Penn State quarterback Rob Bolden's father says coach Joe Paterno has denied his son's request to transfer. Robert Bolden Sr. said he wasn't expecting Paterno to turn down the quarterback in a meeting Tuesday. It's unclear what Bolden will do next, with spring semester classes starting Monday. "I'm pretty upset," Bolden told the Altoona Mirror Tuesday. "I didn't understand why he would want me to stay if I didn't want to be there.
