| - Joyner played football for Penn State in the 1970s. He wrestled for Penn State as well, finishing second in the 1971 NCAA Championships at heavyweight. He graduated from Penn State in 1972 with a degree in science, and received his medical doctorate from Penn State in 1976. He worked as an orthopedic surgeon, and later worked with the World Football League. He focused his career on sports medicine, eventually serving as chair of the United States Olympic Sports Medicine Committee. Joyner founded Mushin Inc., which operated a chain of fitness centers under the C-5 Fitness brand, in April 2002 and the company filed for bankruptcy in November 2006. Joyner was elected by Penn State alumni to the Penn State Board of Trustees in July 2000 to a three-year term, and was re-elected in 2003, 2006, and 2009. Joyner was a member of the Penn State Board of Trustees that dismissed Joe Paterno in November 2011 amid the media firestorm surrounding the announcement of charges against Jerry Sandusky, although Paterno had not been charged with any crime and had been named as a cooperating witness for the prosecution.
