NCAA and Penn State Sanctions

**chrishydro** · 07-23-2012, 07:09 AM

60 Million dollar fine, no bowl games for 4 years, all current players may transfer and compete right away if they wish and qualify.

Lots of other five year watch dog programs to ensure they get their shit together.

Pretty damm stiff but in my opinion well worth it and it should send a message to the rest of the teams that kids come first period.

What do you think?

They should have just gotten the "death penalty".

Do they realize who will ultimately pay the $60 million fine at Pennsylvania STATE university?

What they got is much worse than the Death Penalty that SMU was handed down years ago. The 50 million (i screwed that up) is the gross revenue from any one year of their football program. Dont kid yourself, they got the money. lol

That is the problem the big college football teams are a business and I dont think a lot of people realize how rich of a businees they are.

Sad deal but we all know that money comes first at these schools but we all choose to ignore.

This was a criminal case resulting in criminal charges, why is the NCAA even involved?

It is a good question and the answer is simple. NCAA governs the rules and the way the admin at each college runs their programs. If this was going on you can bet that every rule as it pertains to any student on that team was broken and washed under the table.

If they did not act it would send a message to all the other schools that if you do this you are out period.

People have no idea how much money college football programs make and to top it off you Alumni Bootsers, some who are worth millions of dollars just always pumping money into the program.
