Penn State slammed by NCAA Sanctions
Featured Stories, Sports Monday, July 23rd, 2012
The NCAA has hit Penn State with a $60 million sanction, a four-year football postseason ban and a vacation of all wins dating to 1998, the organization announced Monday morning in a news release.
“These funds must be paid 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,” the statement said.
The career record of former head football coach Joe Paterno will reflect these vacated records, the statement continued.
Penn State must also reduce 10 initial and 20 total scholarships each year for a four-year period, the release said.

I was wondering what the NCAA had to do with the child abuse findings for Penn State. I found the discussion between Tom and Chace informative. Now I understand the connection and can certainly see why the sanctions are justified.
