NCAA Presser regarding Penn State | A Rough Synopsis

[Stinky The Clown]

I am just citing terms that jump out at me. Being a slow typist, I often miss stuff, but here ya go:

"Reckless and callous disregard for the children."

"Powerful people let the children down."

"Egregious behavior"

"Leadership failure over a long period of time"

Punishment:

Fine of $60M (equal to one year football revenues)

No post season for 4 years

Scholarships reduced for 4 years

Players may transfer without penalty

Scholarships stand

Vacate all wins from 1998 to 2011

5 years probation

Possible formal charges against individuals

Ongoing monitoring for compliance. NCAA to appoint the monitor.

1. Newts little brother basically wiped out Paternos record

2. Still not enough they should have shut down football for this season

It will not be long before ESPN spins a story about the plucky team and their
coach who are now playing for each other.

5. This is the death penalty 2.0. nt

3. The Right Penalties

These were the right penalties, especially the $60 million fine. They punish the school, but not the students who could not have prevented thing from happening.

4. They punish the school, the football program, and Paterno

I agree that these are the right penalties. The rescinded wins are especially novel and smart - a direct comment on what was gained by this despicable inaction. Very well done, NCAA.
