From what I understand, JoPo paid $750k for the book. The publisher estimates how much they'll receive in royalties for the sale of the book and gives the writer an advance based on those estimated sales.
I don't see any logical reason as to why Joe Paterno would receive a share of Posnanski's writer royalties or his advance. If Paterno agreed to an authorized autobiography with said publisher, he would be given his own advance, as the book would be a collaborative effort. But even under those terms, he would not see any of Joe's money and it's likely that his share would be different (subject versus writer).
