BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- Former Penn State?assistant football coach Mike McQueary, on the first day of his whistleblower civil trial against the university, said through his attorney Monday that he was forced to cash out his 401(k) after being unable to find a job due to being ostracized and marginalized by Penn State.He is seeking more than $4 million in compensation for defamation, misrepresentation and lost wages as a result of the university wrongly refusing to renew his contract. Since his severance ran out in 2013, McQuearys attorney said, he has earned less than $10,000.McQueary was placed on administrative leave in November 2011, shortly after it became public that he spotted retired football assistant Jerry Sandusky molesting a 10- to 12-year-old boy a decade prior and reported it to his superiors. He did not inform police.You dont put someone on administrative leave unless theyve done something wrong, McQuearys attorney, Elliot Strokoff, said during opening arguments. And this is the cloud that hangs over his head today.The university countered the first of McQuearys allegations Monday by saying he was put on leave for his own safety. Former associate athletic director for football, Fran Ganter, testified that he advised McQueary to get out of town for the safety of his family.The defense produced a number of lewd emails made at the time against McQueary, one of which threatened his life. Enjoy hell, one read. If you have children, we pray theyre are violently raped, said another. I want to kill you, you f---ing piece of s---, another read.But the first witness of the trial, former state prosecutor Jonelle Harter Eshbach, testified she did not take those threats seriously.I really was not in fear for his safety, Harter Eshbach said, adding the university never contacted her office. His emotional safety? Maybe. Not his physical safety.Both Penn State and McQueary were widely believed to be headed to a settlement prior to trial Monday, as no civil case involving a party with direct ties to Sandusky had gone to trial. The university has paid $92.3 million to 32 men who said they were sexually abused by Sandusky.An anonymous email in November 2010 first led investigators to approach McQueary. In 2001, he later testified, he saw Sandusky engaging in a sexual act with a young boy. He said nothing to Sandusky or the boy, instead calling his father who told him to come home. A day later, he contacted head coach Joe Paterno before reaching out to his superiors.Penn State attorney Nancy Conrad said any stain on McQuearys reputation is a result of him not doing more at that time.McQueary has been under fire for not stopping the alleged rape and going to Joe Paterno instead of the police. Right there, it couldve stopped, Conrad told the jury, which consisted of nine women and three men. But he walked away. McQueary failed to act like a responsible human being.McQueary remained silent during the first day of the trial, which is expected to last about two weeks. Even during the afternoon break, McQueary stood against the jurors bench and fiddled with his cell phone while his attorney scribbled notes and handled papers.He and his lawyers contend that several Penn State administrators, such as former athletic director Tim Curley, wrongly led him to believe they considered his 2001 allegations a serious matter. Because they didnt, the lawsuit claims, McQueary has been labeled and branded as being part of a cover-up.McQueary has also taken exception to a 2011 news release issued by then-university president Graham Spanier, which expressed unconditional support toward Curley and senior vice president Gary Schultz, despite both being criminally charged for not reporting the abuse claim. McQuearys attorneys believe Spaniers comments suggested McQueary was lying to the grand jury.Still, McQueary played an important role in the conviction of Sandusky. His testimony kicked into high gear the investigation, according to Harter Eshbach. Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 on 45 of 48 counts, including four that involved the incident McQueary witnessed.Sandusky is currently serving a 30- to 60-year sentence in Greene State Prison, where he has been largely segregated from the prisons general population out of concerns for his safety.McQueary was a Penn State graduate assistant in the early 2000s, before serving as the wide receivers coach from 2004 to 2011. He did not interview for his coaching position following the 2011 season, and first-year coach Bill OBrien opted to hire former Buffalo Bills receivers coach Stan Hixon as his replacement.OBrien initially wanted to clean house and hire all new coaches, Ganter testified, but players requested that defensive assistants Larry Johnson Sr. and Ron Vanderlinden remain on staff. Players made no such overtures regarding McQueary.Its not the action of the university, Conrad said, explaining why McQueary hasnt yet found a job. McQueary failed to develop a network.The trial resumes Tuesday morning at the Centre County Courthouse Annex Building.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Chittagong Vikings 161 for 3 (Tamim 54, Malik 42*) beat Comilla Victorians 132 for 8 (Shanto 54*, Nabi 4-24) by 29 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsChittagong Vikings sent out an early warning as they beat defending champions Comilla Victorians by 29 runs in the tournaments opening game. After Tamim Iqbal and Shoaib Malik helped them set up a fighting total, Man of the Match Mohammad Nabi took control of the game with his four-wicket haul.Tamim sped to 50 off 32 balls with his team score on 69 for 1 at the end of the ninth over. But he was having trouble running between the wickets with Anamul Haque and, almost predictably, the second-wicket pair had a meltdown when Tamim ran for a second despite Anamul calling no after pushing to long-on.Tamim, who had been dropped on 23 by Nahidul Islam running back from cover, was furious as he fell for 54 off 38 balls. His knock was studded with two sixes - over long-off and cover - and six attractive boundaries. Anamul was also run out when he backed up too far in the hunt for a single. Marlon Samuels, running in from midwicket, struck down the stumps at the non-strikers end.Chittagongs innings looked in danger of getting derailed, but Malik and Jahurul Islam added 60 runs for an unbroken fourth-wicket stand that took the Vikings to 161. Malik struuck two fours and two sixes in his 28-ball 42, while Jahurul contributed 29 off 21 balls.dddddddddddd. The unbroken partnership meant that Chittagong were deprived of Mohammad Nabis big-hitting prowess in the slog overs, but the Afghanistan allrounder made up with the ball.Nabi removed Liton Das and the dangerous Ashar Zaidi in the eighth and tenth overs respectively, to reduce Comilla to 58 for 4, after Imrul Kayes had fallen early to a reckless waft outside off against Dwayne Smith, and Samuels had chipped a catch to short midwicket off Abdur Razzak.Mashrafe Mortaza, who promoted himself to No. 6 to breathe life into the faltering chase, fell to Tymal Mills and was followed into the dressing room by Imad Wasim four balls later.Nabi picked up his third and fourth wickets off consecutive deliveries in his last over, by bowling Al-Amin and trapping Sohail Tanvir in front. Debutant Nazmul Hossain Shanto (54*), who had watched his team crumble around him after coming in at No. 4, provided some late entertainment for the half-packed stadium, hitting Taskin Ahmed for four boundaries in a row in the last over to bring up his fifty. But it all came too late for Comilla. ' ' '
