Replacing assistants during recruiting season is commonplace, but school HR policies in the wake of Sandusky, and 2012 changes to Pennsylvania's Child Protective Services Law require any Penn State hire who comes in contact with minors to pass a series of background checks.
Multiple sources outside of Penn State told SB Nation that when recruiting for the '16 class, new PSU assistant coaches were required to travel with established coaches and could not interact with recruits on their own.

Interesting stuff about the fallout of the scandal. I had not heard of the background law before. I wonder when it will be required in Tennessee?
