Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 319635, member: 393"] The NCAA sanctions, including the $60 million fine, the post season ban, the immediate eligibility allowance for players to transfer, 5 years of probation, the loss of B1G bowl revenue, et. al. will effectively eliminate the football program as a "cash cow" for PSU over the next 4 years. With that loss of revenue and power, the tail will no longer be able to wag the dog at PSU. The civil lawsuits are yet to come. Those payouts will be crippling. The administration readily accepted the NCAA sanctions and gave up the right to appeal. They realize how horrific the Sandusky events are, both to the victims and the integrity and value ($$$) of the PSU brand. To me, they are looking to seize the moment, rein in the power of the football program, and attempt to restore their reputation. That's more than a slap. Football will never be quite the same at PSU... [/QUOTE]
