Hicks Jr. for three games next season. Spokesman Bill Stevens says Wulff decided on the punishment after consulting with a conduct council of players and coaches. The 21-year-old defensive back from Fullerton, Calif., is serving a 45-day sentence in the Whitman County Jail after pleading guilty to third-degree theft and third-degree attempted assault. Hicks was accused of putting rubbing alcohol in the contact lens case of former teammate and roommate Grady Maxwell in a payment dispute and of using a stolen credit card. Stevens says Hicks, a redshirt junior with three starts last season, will miss the Aug. 30 opener in Seattle against Oklahoma State and games Sept. 6 against California and Sept. 13 at Baylor. Elsewhere PENN STATE: Coach Joe Paterno is back home after spending several hours at a hospital being treated for dehydration. Penn State spokesman Jeff Nelson says the 81-year-old coach was released Thursday from Mount Nittany Medical Center after being taken by ambulance from his home after feeling nauseous. He underwent tests at the hospital but was not admitted. Paterno has had a busy schedule of late, traveling to Philadelphia last weekend and meeting with fellow Big Ten football coaches earlier this week. Spokesman Guido D'Elia says JoePa was on the phone with recruits Thursday morning before going to the hospital. Paterno is still scheduled to travel to Austin, Texas, to speak at a dinner tonight for Longhorns coach Mack Brown.
