Penn State dodged the Death Penalty Monday morning, but the punishments handed down might be worse.

The president of the NCAA Mark Emmert announced that Penn State will have to pay a $60 million fine, serve a four-year postseason ban and must vacate all wins from 1998-2011. Emmert showed his displeasure for the entire situation.

And as far as recruiting goes, Penn State will lose 10 scholarship signees per year for four years and then have a reduction of 20 players on the roster.

So to simplify it, Penn State will have a signing class of 15 rather than 25, and they will have 65 players on their roster instead of 85. To make matters worse, any player can transfer immediately without sitting out.

So what does that do for recruiting moving forward? In theory, this is actually worse than the death penalty. Though Penn State will still be able to compete on the football field, they won't be able to generate revenue because of the fine, which was equivalent to the average annual revenue of the program, which makes the future of Penn State football unstable.

Before four star defensive lineman Greg Webb and four star cornerback Ross Douglas decomitted from Penn State, the Nittany Lions had the 14th best recruiting class according to ESPN's rankings. Expect the program to drop significantly in the rankings after losing those athletes, along with whoever else decides to withdraw their verbal.

How many of Penn State's now 12 verbal commitments are willing to sacrifice their postseason and still play football at Penn State? Commits Christian Hackenberg and Adam Breneman are doing their best to make sure this class does stay intact, but there's only so much you can do after such harsh penalties.

Following the actions of Jerry Sandusky and these sanctions handed down by the NCAA, prestige isn't exactly a good selling point for Penn State anymore.

It's a long way to the bottom, but unfortunately for the Nittany Lions, they hit rock bottom in a matter of seconds. Expect it to take several years to get back to the top.

Make sure you don't fuck up in life, so we can be there to put a foot on your grave. Piece shit UaSsA. It ain't just him. I wonder what corrupt heads of the NCAA are going to do with that nice $60M. Oh, they'll give it to athletes. How about sex vacations? Fuck them all!

I am glad it happened, I am more pissed this fucked up my MBA degree's reputation. Fuck Penn State and Joe Pa. I was never a fan of the football team, even though I love football. Joe pa was worshiped when he was some fucking delusional old man, now found out to support child molesters.

It will take that program 10-15 years AT LEAST to return to the state they were in previously to the outing of Sandusky.

You're an idiot. Sure, everyone fucks up in life. But most peoples fuck ups dont include covering up the abuse of children. There is a continuum of "fuck ups" and this is a big one, one which most people do not make up. So I stand by my statement. And the other people that were involved in the cover up should get what they deserve to.

As for the people receiving 60million, well, that is a separate issue. I am talking purely about the topic of covering up child sexual abuse, which is a widespread phenomena.

woulda liked to have peed on statue before they removed it.

they'll vacate the wins but not the $1 billion plus they made in the time from 1998 to 2011.

With title XI, the big loser is not football but the other programs that shared in the football revenue. They should have allowed all kids to play this year, transfer out and then ban the school from football period for 10 years.

Fucking USC lost scholarships and bowl ban for 2 years from 2010-2012 and this season they are a favorite for the championship. They didn't lose shit.

what happened to the asshole character witness for jerry sandusky who said it's not unusual for grown men to shower with young boys. he than went on to state that he himself showered with little girls this guy should be in a cell right next to jerry s as far as i'm concerned.

At least that long. They will be as bad as Indiana in football.

GO BUCKS!
FUCK MICHIGAN

I don't understand punishing the fans and the players. Fine the school but don't ruin the program. Just what is the NCAA going to do with the money? Give them selves raises and create more positions to hire their buddies.

Penn State will return.....it will take a decade....but Obrien will bring them back.....Sandusky is the piece of shit that created this disaster.....Penn State is a great school.....don't blame the students or players....

What cracks me up is that the school has to "vacate" wins as if the games didn't turn out the way they did.

So now players from the 2000 Louisiana Tech team that lost 67-7 to Penn State can brag that they "won" the game?

SMU got the death penalty for getting caught paying players. They might have never missed a game if they tried kiddie diddling instead.

Punish the fans? If the fans had any class they would run from that program in disgust. What a monumental clusterfuck!
