[rrlbees]

Vacated wins and a loss of 20 scholies and only allowed 15 per year for 4 years.

So does that mean that we really beat State Penn in the Dome and it wasn't a slaughtering like I witnessed in person in 2008?

 

[suthrills]

It's about time the NCAA shows some balls.
Good job by the boys from Indy.
I hope everyone transfers.

Isn't it a loss of 40 schollies?

10 per year for 4 years.

I thought I heard 40 scholarships. 10 per year for 4 years. Also, all players are free to transfer and will be immediately eligible.

 

[Bortukal]

All wins from 1998-2011 vacated. Appears they keep TV rights, though. Wonder if the B1G had a say in that.

 

[ElwoodJBlues]

With immediate transfer eligibility, I wonder if Penn State will even have enough players to field a team the next few years.

B10 is announcing penalties today too. I'm betting there is a TV ban there.

Thisisnt enough... Nothing close to the death penalty which they hould have received. If hey can still gettv revenue..as well as their donor money ped state will be fine.

do the vacated wins mean Paterno is no longer the all-time wins leader?

 

[longislandcuse]

If you're a fan would you rather have "death penalty" OR what Penn St just got? No postseason for 4 years and only 15 scholies per year over that same 4 years is going to be pretty hard to overcome, at least in the short term.

This was more than I was expecting.

4 years with 15 schollies will hurt.

They're effectively done as a competitive school until 2018 or so.

The death penalty would have done a lot of collateral damage to the local economy, while inflicting only a simlar amount of damage to the football team.

Yeah not surprising, I honestly dont believe the death penalty was ever really on the table, no way the NCAA was going down that path. Looks like PSU is about to have the best walk on program in the country for the next four years.

 

[jcuse44]

Players didnt leave USC after their penalties... Donors will pay players to stay. I dont see this truly hurting penn state much. Letting the program go on just shows all the whackjob joepa supporters think this was just a slap on the wrist.

The object isn't to kill the program. One of the biggest sources of revenue that is going to pay restitution is the football program. PA state gov't is hurting.

I predict less than 15 players will transfer. All who do will be career backups who might have been less than happy anyway.

Team will schedule late fall games in Miami, San Diego, UNLV for the next few years as a replacement.

Other than the bowl games and loss of a little less than one year's revenue, life will go on for Ninny Lion fans.

I would think so.

 

[jcuse44]

Plus...he just basically said that the 60million fine can be paid in any way they choose...meaning they can have their alumni pay it off.

 

[brian]

I just read this on sports center "Penn State must also reduce 10 initial and 20 total scholarships each year for a four-year period, the release said." 10 Initial and 20 total EACH year. Unless I am reading that wrong, wouldn't this imply going to 5 schollies a year?

These are the penalties SMU received under a partial Death Penalty..

The penalties handed down, in detail:

• The 1987 season was canceled; only conditioning drills were permitted during the 1987 calendar year.
• All home games in 1988 were canceled. SMU was allowed to play their seven regularly scheduled away games so that other institutions would not be financially affected.
• The team's existing probation was extended until 1990. Its existing ban from bowl games and live television was extended to 1989.
• SMU lost 55 new scholarship positions over 4 years.
• SMU was required to ensure that Owen and eight other boosters previously banned from contact with the program were in fact banned, or else face further punishment.
• The team was allowed to hire only five full-time assistant coaches, instead of the typical nine.
• No off-campus recruiting was permitted until August 1988, and no paid visits could be made to campus by potential recruits until the start of the 1988-89 school year.[16]

Considering the amount of money that PSU will bave to shell out I think the NCAA did pretty good.

All they need are a few wealthy alums, and a few more who've hit jackpot with the gas drilling in the state- and there are a lot more than a few of those- and they can cover that nut without going to the bank vault.
