BREAKING: PSU receives 4 year bowl ban, vacates wins, fined $60 million

[Hurricane Season]

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.

Holy shit, that's 111 wins that they vacated.

JoePa is no longer the all-time winningest couch in college football

Nobody is happier than Bobby Bowden this morning.

JoePa is still #5 all time lol

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Damn.

They should have just fined the school and vacated Paterno's wins. The worst they should have done was put a TV ban on Penn State games, but the NCAA would lose too much money on that so I doubt they considered it.

i still think the scandal is a bigger blow to joepa then taking wins, but damn.

They're allowing everyone that is currently enrolled at Penn State to transfer anywhere they choose with immediate eligibility.

The Bowl Ban is indeed stupid though.

I have a hard time feeling any sympathy for them to be honest. Maybe some fans and the players currently. But other than that, fuck em honestly.
:kobe:

 

[Pugz]

fans, students, current players, and staff who had no doing in this. the rest idgaf about. this wasnt harsh enough.

 

[cruzg24]

nah not really

Yes it was, this penalty isnt going to affect the program 4 years, it will have ramifications for 7-8 years down the road. This penalty is a bigger blow to the players and it extends too far to other programs of the school. Its worse than the death penalty.

Aside from those protecting JoePa in this. So most fans and students excluded, from me at least.
