| STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Patrick Willis Youth Jersey
. -- A potential exodus of star athletes. No hope of playing in the
post-season. More than a decade of accomplishments erased from the
record books. And Joe Paternos legacy in shreds.
Penn State football, a longtime powerhouse that was once one of the
cleanest, most admired programs in college sports, escaped the so-called
death penalty from the NCAA on Monday but was dealt a heavy blow that
will cripple it for years to come.
The university agreed to an unprecedented $60 million fine, a four-year
ban from post-season play and a cut in the number of football
scholarships it can award -- the price it will pay for having looked the
other way while Jerry Sandusky brought boys onto campus and molested
them.
The NCAA also erased 14 years of victories, wiping out 111 of Paternos
wins and stripping him of his standing as the most successful coach in
the history of big-time college football.
"Football will never again be placed ahead of educating, nurturing and
protecting young people," NCAA President Mark Emmert declared.
Penn State meekly accepted its punishment, pledging to hold itself to
high standards of honesty and integrity.
Penn State spokesman David La Torre said university President Rodney
Erickson had no choice but to acquiesce, given the threat of a total
shutdown of the football program.
"It was clear Penn State faced an alternative -- a long-term death
penalty and additional sanctions for the program, university and whole
community. Given the situation, he believed the sanctions offered and
accepted was the appropriate and course of action," La Torre said.
At a student union on campus, several dozen alumni and students gasped,
groaned and whistled as they watched Emmerts news conference. The news
was a crushing blow to many students.
Nicole Lord, a senior, questioned why Penn States student body, and
especially its athletes, should be punished "for the wrongs of three men
and a monster."
"They keep breaking our hearts and breaking our hearts and breaking our
hearts," she said.
Sandusky, a former member of Paternos coaching staff, was found guilty
in June of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years, sometimes on campus.
An investigation commissioned by the school and released July 12 found
that Paterno, who died of lung cancer in January at age 85, and three
other top officials at Penn State concealed accusations against Sandusky
for fear of bad publicity.
The NCAAs punishment was announced a day after the school took down a
statue of Paterno that stood outside Beaver Stadium.
The sanctions will make it difficult for the Nittany Lions to compete at
the sports highest level. Raising the spectre of an exodus of athletes,
the NCAA said current or incoming football players are free to
immediately transfer and compete at another school.
For a university that always claimed to hold itself to a higher standard
-- for decades, Paterno preached "success with honour" -- Mondays
announcement completed a stunning fall from grace.
Paternos family said in a statement that the sanctions "defame the
legacy and contributions of a great coach and educator."
"This is not a fair or thoughtful action; it is a panicked response to
the publics understandable revulsion at what Sandusky did," the family
said.
Emmert said the penalties reflect "the magnitude of these terrible acts"
and also "ensure that Penn State will rebuild an athletic culture that
went horribly awry."
He said the NCAA considered imposing the death penalty, or a complete
shutdown of football for a season or more, but worried about the
collateral damage.
"Suspension of the football program would bring with it significant
unintended harm to many who had nothing to do with this case," Emmert
said. "The sanctions we have crafted are more focused and impactful than
that blanket penalty."
Gov. Tom Corbett expressed gratitude that Penn State escaped the death
penalty, saying it would have had a "severe detrimental impact on the
citizens of State College, Centre County and the entire commonwealth of
Pennsylvania."
A drop-off in attendance and revenue could damage both the university,
where the football team is a moneymaker that subsidizes other sports,
and much of central Pennsylvania, where Saturday afternoon football at
Penn State is an important part of the economy.
But given Penn States famously ardent fans and generous benefactors, the
precise economic impact on Penn State and Happy Valley, as the
surrounding area is known, remains unclear.
First-year coach Bill OBrien, who was hired to replace Paterno, will
have the daunting task of trying to keep players from fleeing the
program while luring new recruits.
"I knew when I accepted the position that there would be tough times
ahead," OBrien said.
Already, at least one recruit, Ross Douglas, a defensive back from Avon,
Ohio, backed out of his commitment. Douglas told Rivals.com on Monday:
"We prepared ourselves for it, and today was just the icing on the cake.
I love Penn State to death, but I have to do whats best for me, and Im
going to look elsewhere."
Separately, the Big Ten announced that Penn State will not be allowed to
share in the conferences bowl revenue during the NCAAs post-season ban,
an estimated loss of about $13 million.
Emmert fast-tracked the penalties rather than go through the usual
circuitous series of investigations and hearings.
The NCAA said the $60 million fine is equivalent to the annual gross
revenue of the football program. The money will go toward outside
programs devoted to preventing child sexual abuse or assisting victims.
Penn State said it will pay the fine in five annual installments of $12
million. The governor demanded assurances from Penn State that taxpayer
money will not be used to pay the fine; Penn State said it will cover it
with its athletics reserve fund and capital maintenance budget and, if
necessary, borrow money.
By throwing out all Penn State victories from 1998 to 2011, the NCAA
stripped Paterno of the top spot in the record book. The governing body
went all the way back to 1998 because, according to the investigative
report, that is the year Paterno and other Penn State officials first
learned of an allegation against Sandusky.
Former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden will replace Paterno with 377
major-college victories, while Paterno will be credited with 298.
"I didnt want it to happen like this," Bowden said. "Wish I could have
earned it, but thats the way it is."
Penn State will also be limited to 65 total scholarships a year for four
years. Major college football programs are normally allowed 85
scholarship players per year. The program cannot give out more than 15
scholarships in any year during that span, 10 fewer than the usual
maximum.
The post-season ban is the longest handed out by the NCAA since it gave a
four-year punishment to Indiana football in 1960.
Penn State players left a team meeting on campus in State College
without talking to reporters. Penn States season starts Sept. 1 at home
against Ohio University.
"Our heritage, our legacy has been tainted and damaged," said Troy
Cromwell, a wide receiver on the 1986 team that won the second of
Paternos two national championships. Cromwell said he felt bad for
current and incoming players, "but at the end of the day, there were
still those kids, those poor kids, and those victims, and we have to
think about them first in everything that we do."
The harshest penalty handed out to a football program came in the 1980s,
when the NCAA shut down Southern Methodist Universitys team for a year.
SMU football has never gotten back to the level of success it had
before getting the death penalty.
Jim Delany, commissioner of the Big Ten conference, said he believes
Penn State is capable of bouncing back. "I do have a strong sense that
many of the ingredients of success are still at Penn State and will be
there in future years," he said.
