100 schollies, 5-year bowl ban, 50 million bucks.

I have to say Im uncomfortable with Joe P being stripped of all those wins. The money is debateable but totally onboard with the rest.

Agreed, and I'm not sure the NCAA can do tv bans anymore. That is almost totally controlled by the conferences. It will be a few years before you see Penn State on ESPN/ABC. Does this become effective for the upcoming season? Seems pretty late to impact recruits already on campus...though some might leave anyway. Same with upper classmen.

Any incoming frosh can leave and take his RS year. The NCAA gave license for.every player to leave. If not for the late date, they might not be able to field a team.

These are devastating penalties. This is a 4 year (minimum) crippling of the program + 60 million + all the money from lost gate receipts that will occur from having a poor product + a cleansing of Penn State's historical accomplishments. I actually feel bad for the fans of the program.

And I thought it was just me! It will take an additional 4yrs just to rebuild this thing. . .so we're really looking at 8yrs to recover from this. Devastating! Every School and athletic program was just put on notice. . . "do the right thing".

With these sanctions, Penn State football is now essentially an FCS program.

Unreal...
