Former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden says he is glad the NCAA restored Joe Paterno's vacated victories and happy to be bumped to No. 2 on major college football's career wins list behind the late Penn State coach.
The NCAA and Penn State reached a settlement Friday in a lawsuit that challenged the legality of the consent decree used to sanction the school in 2012 for the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
The NCAA agreed to restore the 111 victories that had been removed from Paterno's record, giving him 409 again. Bowden is second on the list with 377, though he also has had 12 victories vacated.
The 85-year-old Bowden says being called the winningest coach in major college football has made him self-conscience.
