I guess well see tomorrow.
Damn, they're laying the hammer down.
I like it, if true of course.
damn thats the new age death penalty right thurr
The death penalty wouldn't have been as harsh.
RIP Pedo State football. S bags.
175 game losing streak
The NCAA said the $60 million was equivalent to the average annual revenue of the football program. The NCAA ordered Penn State to pay the penalty funds into an endowment for "external programs preventing child sexual abuse or assisting victims and may not be used to fund such programs at the university."
Damn............... Penitentiary State U will suck for the next 10-15yrs.
If they're lucky.

Still wish they would have made them cancel the season.
I posted that it was too late for that. The schools they were scheduled to play stood to lose too much money with no way to recoup it.
Ahh...ok. Next season would be fine.
LOL $60 million. Penn State did it for the kids.
What they got is worse than the death penalty in some ways, they have a 6-8 year rebuilding project ahead of them and that's their best case scenario. The more likely scenario is their program never rebounding.
That's the only way I could see it happening, but that would open a whole new box of worms.
Well, kids are important, but everyone has to make money before we address that.
This school is done. God bless
It's a rarity, but I actually think the NCAA got this one right.
I agree. The school covered up rape of kids. They need to change the name of that school and start over. God bless
Those players on current football team should transfer if they can. Seriously, you cannot rally the troops when raping kids is why they got the sanctions in the first place. There is nothing to be proud of. God bless
I don't think they should have handed out any sanctions at all, but if they are going to, then hit him then with a death penalty for at least 4 years.
Penn St will still be playing on Saturday. In the Big 10. Charging full price for admission.
not sure how anyone can say this is worse than the death penalty.
I'm not sure you'll ever see Penn St. back to the so-called elite program status it had erroneously earned under the watch of Joe Paterno. This is, in essence, a death penalty for the once-storied program. Can't blame the NCAA--this is a infinitely times worse than what the Buckeyes or Trojans did. Sucks for the kids who are playing for the team--but they are able to transfer to any college, so there's that option. It's just they have to put in the effort to do.
You know what?
the NCAA. In their eyes, $61,000 in player payments is a greater crime than covering up child rape.
Not sure you can say that when they have just given out the biggest hammer drop since they gave SMU the death penalty. Keep in mind the death penalty was overkill and SMU never should have got it. This is not the death penalty but it is just as tough, it's going to take Penn State 10 to 15 years to come back from this. Couple that with what the B1G is doing, what the Justice system is doing, and what public opinion is doing and they may never come back.
I'd say that Karma is a
