NCAA to release sanctions/penalties against Penn State Monday Morning

The NCAA is set to levy the first presidential sanctioning in the association’s history on Monday when it will impose what one source termed “significant” and “staggering” penalties against the Nittany Lions' football program in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.

The NCAA will hammer Penn State and Penn State officials have said that they will not appeal the NCAA's actions.

Why?

Remember Ray Gricar? Gricar was the man who was prosecuting the Penn State case years ago and mysteriously disappeared in 2005. That case has never been solved.

There have been rumors that the child molestation at Penn State ran a lot deeper than Sandusky and that his foundation was little more than a front for a child molestation ring involving some well heeled people in that Keystone State.

Is this what Penn State accepts in hopingh for an end to this?

*** Note: I edited this to take out the NCAA's involvement in in this or knowledge of this, as it should have been originally.

Is is a tacit agreement to close the door on this case in exchange for Penn State's cooperation?

Uh, no. If the NCAA did know about this, I think they would probably turn that info to the FBI (not to mention the crazy reaches you are making anyways).

Pretending what didn't happen? That the guy went missing? I mean it's possible that something happened, but I doubt it, considering A) It's been about two years that Sandusky has been investigated and no one with authority has found any evidence of him being a part of a murder to Grice and B) That the FBI has been involved with this for awhile and hasn't found anything.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's unlikely.

Administrators at every level of the institution covered up child rape in order to protect the football program. An entirely apporpiate response is to burn the program down.

It's impossible for the NCAA to hand out any punishment that's too severe.

This x1000.

I agree with someone that says they will be forced out of the Big Ten, get monster sanctions (schollies lost, bowl bans for a long time), and get a monster fine.

Two sources with knowledge of the Penn State penalties said NCAA president Mark Emmert will announce Monday that he is personally sanctioning Penn State after receiving approval from the association’s Division I Board of directors, which is comprised of 22 college presidents and chancellors. One source told Yahoo! Sports Emmert’s sanctions will include a “multiple-year” bowl ban and “crippling” scholarship losses. Penn State will not receive the "death penalty."

You are correct that the NCAA did not have any knowledge of what took place with Gricar and if they did, they would report it to the FBI immediately. However, it would have been better for me to say that Penn State was accepting the punishment in hopes that this will pile on enough dirt to quiet and stop any further investigation.

Now that the ncaa has deemed themselves in position to hand out punishments (which is a totally ridiculous and frankly terrifying precedent) then I agree completely. Stopping short of the death penalty is offensive

If PSU agreed to what will be announced, why aren't they announcing it? Seems like a good way to own the situation in the public eye.

Exactly. Anything short of demolishing the program is a slap in the face to the victims. This could be the undoing of the NCAA as well. Tomorrows press conference should be historic

How is an athletic governing body not destroying something that it should have no authority to destroy a slap in the face to the victims? The perpetrators and accessories to this crime will either spend the remainder of their lives in prison or, in Paterno's case, are already dead. Why the need to exact a further pound of flesh from players, coaches and fans who had NOTHING to do with this crime, and until 6 months ago, had no knowledge of it? It would be fair to ask PSU to purge any and all employees who had any knowledge of this, but shutting down the football program IMO doesn't accomplish anything positive, and in turn hurts a lot of innocent people.

That boat has sailed, the NCAA decided it can step in, and now that it has decided that some lost scholarships and 4-5 years with no bowl games carries the same weight of dozens of kids getting raped.

I don't know how else to say this besides they have to be punished. Penn St's football program allowed child rape for 10 years for God's sake. I feel bad for the innocent at psu but I feel even worse for the victims. The program needs to be burned to the ground. No other way around it.

Which put alongside past NCAA penalties, makes it roughly 1.5-2x as bad as USC buying Reggie Bush's mom a house, but not quite as bad as SMU getting caught continuing to pay players while already on probation for the same offense. How stupid. The NCAA should have just realized that this was something that was totally outside their jurisdiction and let the criminal justice system, which already has punishments for these sorts of crimes long since established, handle this.
