Penn State Fined $60M, Wins Vacated from ’98-11

Sports

July 23rd, 2012 by Jim Field

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA has slammed Penn State with an unprecedented series of penalties, including a $60 million fine and the loss of all coach Joe Paterno’s victories from 1998-2011, in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.

Other sanctions include a four-year ban on bowl games, and the loss of 20 scholarships per year over four years.

NCAA President Mark Emmert announced the staggering sanctions Monday at a news conference in Indianapolis. Though the NCAA stopped short of imposing the “death penalty” — shutting down the Nittany Lions’ program completely — the punishment is still crippling for a team that is trying to start over with a new coach and a new outlook.

Sandusky, a former Penn State defensive coordinator, was found guilty in June of sexually abusing young boys, sometimes on campus.

Authorities say at least five people were critically injured during a three-vehicle crash this morning, just  east of Council Bluffs, on Highway 6. Two people were life-flighted to Creighton University Medical Center and three others were taken to hospitals in Council Bluffs. The vehicles involved were blocking both east and westbound lanes of U.S. 6 at Hunt Avenue, which is just east of the Interstate 80 interchange.
