Penn State's acting athletic director will stay on the job as long as Rodney Erickson remains the school's president.
 
Erickson said Wednesday that Dave Joyner was doing an excellent job at athletics.  
 
Erickson has said he plans to step down when his contract expires in June 2014. The search for his replacement will begin in November.
 
Joyner replaced Tim Curley last November after Curley was charged with perjury and failure to report a crime in connection with a sexual abuse allegation against retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. Curley, who faces trial in January, has denied the charges. He is on administrative leave.
 
The employment agreement for Joyner is worth $396,000 a year.
