NCAA source: “Unprecedented” penalties against Penn State

(CBS News) CBS News has learned that the NCAA will announce what a high-ranking association source called “unprecedented” penalties against both the Penn State University football team and the school.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” the source told correspondent Armen Keteyian.

NCAA President Mark Emmert will make the announcement Monday morning at 9 a.m. at the organization’s headquarters in Indianapolis.

The penalties come in the wake of the independent report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh that chronicled repeated efforts by four top Penn State officials, including former football coach Joe Paterno, to conceal allegations of serial child sex abuse by Jerry Sandusky over a 14-year period.

The NCAA had been awaiting the school’s response to four key questions pertaining to the sex abuse scandal, including issues involving institutional control and ethics.

So where is it going, to that place they send Soviet era statutes of Lenin and Marx?

@ huckfunn:

The NCAA should salt Penn State’s earth.

Notre Dame fan Poteen would remind all that what Paterno ‘didn’t do’ is somehow becoming more important than what Sandusky did. That ain’t right.
Blow the statue up, but hang a picture of Sandusky on it first.

Well. As it turned out ‘Beaver’ Stadium may have been a poor choice of name.

Second Mile should have been notified of 1998 Sandusky incident, but wasn’t … by the Department of Public Welfare

IMHO, NCAA should kick Penn State out of all college sports for 5 years. Let the players have the freedom to transfer to another school if playing their sport means more to them than getting an education.
