My idea of sanctions, short of a death penalty, if the NCAA decides it can and should levy sanctions. A DP would hurt local businesses uninvolved in the scandal way too much. 
 
Whereas:
- the penalties to the university and its FB program should be substantial enough to get the entire PSU community to fully understand the vile nature of the offenses committed and the role that the Bigtime Football Culture @ PSU (including its icon worship and aversion to having any bad publicity damage the program's image and recruiting prowess) played in the scandal;
Therefore, the sanctions are:
- maximum of 3 homes games per season for 3 seasons, beginning in 2013;
- no bowls for 3 years, beginning in 2012-13;
- FB scholarship number cut by 50% over 3 seasons, beginning in 2013.
- current athletes seeking transfer out of PSU held harmless (can transfer anywhere, including in-conference, and play immediately).
 
Not a DP, but "severe."  For a period of about 5-7 years, the program would show, and have to deal with, the effects of the scandal/penalties, and the entire PSU community/network would be forced to go through a penance period that is palpable.
This all assumes that the financial penalties to the university via the legal system will be heavy ($>100M) all totaled.
