Sanctions​

$60 million fine. The NCAA imposes a $60 million fine, equivalent to the approximate average of one year's gross revenues from the Penn State football program, to be paid over a five-year period beginning in 2012 into an endowment for programs preventing child sexual abuse and/or assisting the victims of child sexual abuse. The minimum annual payment will be $12 million until the $60 million is paid. The proceeds of this fine may not be used to fund programs at the University. No current sponsored athletic team may be reduced or eliminated in order to fund this fine.​

Four-year postseason ban. The NCAA imposes a four-year postseason ban on participation in postseason play in the sport of football, beginning with the 2012-2013 academic year and expiring at the conclusion of the 2015-2016 academic year. Therefore, the University's football team shall end its 2012 season and each season through 2015 with the playing if its last regularly scheduled, in-season contest and shall not be eligible to participate in any postseason competition, including a conference championship, any bowl game, or any postseason playoff competition.​

Four-year reduction of grants-in-aid. For a period of four years commencing with the 2013-2014 academic year and expiring at the conclusion of the 2016-2017 academic year, the NCAA imposes a limit of 15 initial grants-in-aid (from a maximum of 25 allowed) and for a period of four years commencing with the 2014-2015 academic year and expiring at the conclusion of the 2017-2018 academic year a limit of 65 total grants-in-aid (from a maximum of 85 allowed) for football during each of those specified years. In the event the total number of grants-in-aid drops below 65, the University may award grants-in-aid to non-scholarship student-athletes who have been members of the football program as allowed under Bylaw 15.5.6.3.6.​

Five years of probation. The NCAA imposes this period of probation, which will include the appointment of an on-campus, independent Integrity Monitor and periodic reporting as detailed in the Corrective Component of this Consent Decree. Failure to comply with the Consent Decree during this probationary period may result in additional, more severe sanctions.​

Vacation of wins since 1998. The NCAA vacates all wins of the Penn State football team from 1998 to 2011. The career record of Coach “Joe” Paterno will reflect the vacated records.​

Waiver of transfer rules and grant-in-aid retention. Any entering or returning football student-athlete will be allowed to immediately transfer and will be eligible to immediately compete at the transfer institution, provided he is otherwise eligible. Any football student-athlete who wants to remain at the University may retain his athletic grant-in-aid, as long as he meets and maintains applicable academic requirements, regardless of whether he competes on the football team.​

Individual penalties to be determined. The NCAA reserves the right to initiate a formal investigatory and disciplinary process and impose sanctions on individuals after the conclusion of any criminal proceedings related to any individual involved.​

BREAKING NEWS:

The Big Ten to hold a press conference at 11am today to hand down their own sanctions.

Come at me BRO!

Penn State isn't out of the woods yet -- not even its football program has its full list of damage at hand. The Big Ten can still choose to punish Penn State in just about any way conceivable, from witholding conference revenue to forbidding trips to the Big Ten Championship Game and so on. Indeed, the Big Ten will announce something one way or the other Monday as well.

AND THEN

The school could choose also to limit its own football program in addition to what's being imposed.
AND THEN
And this is all outside of what's going to be levied against the university itself by the Department of Education and perhaps other government agencies, which could make the worst the NCAA can do look like nothing by comparison.

Penn State Sanctions: Coach Bill O'Brien Reacts To Heavy Punishment

• Bar from Conference Championship game is included in 4 yr postseason ban levied by NCAA

• Penn State signed a consent agreement with the NCAA penalties - meaning that they will not fight the penalties handed down. These will essentially act as self-imposed penalties

• The Dept. of Education and the Feds - that shit should be scary for Penn State. Absolutely spot on there - but those likely wont come down for a couple years. I heard last week that the Clery Act investigation is expected to take at least 3 years.

• I didnt multi-quote you

SBnation top story and Headline:

Penn State Scandal: NCAA Beats Up Corpse, Then Demands Your Applause

NCAA president Mark Emmert's decision to absorb power accomplished nothing, but let's all marvel at the wreckage he's left of Penn State football anyway.​

Big Ten Sanctions Levied to Penn State:

• Penn State is forced to forfeit their share of bowl revenue and donate it to charities. Roughly a 13 million dollar fine

Something to think about - at what point do too many people transfer to realistically field a football team? Could that point be conceivably be reached?

the bright side is that the kids that call really ball now may have an opportunity to go to Ohio State...

Penn State got fined $60 million, scholarships reduced from 25 to 15 for 4 years, a post-season ban for 4 years that includes the championship game, and had every single win vacated from 1998 to 2011. Also means JoePa isn't the all-time winningest coach anymore either.

So, uh...over/under on 10 players transferring from Penn State?

Im wondering that as well... here are a couple early signs though:

What's funny is that dudes are responding saying that by staying on the team, they support what happened to those kids...

Meanwhile the general criticism of athletes is that they supposedly only go to a school to play football, they don't care about academics and what not.

That being said, I'm more interested in how many of those backups transfer. Especially at the QB position. Not too familiar with the team but I expect a lot of those backups to transfer they can get a chance to play, and they won't have to sit out a year.

Dumb statement

How is it a dumb statement? I think I may have worded it wrong though...

Just saying they're probably staying for reasons other than football. And they're being criticized for it. But yet the general perception about all athletes is that they only care about football.
