If they are saying "Unprecedented", you have to look at the precedents that have come before this. What is the worst the NCAA has dished out? The one year death penalty of the SMU program. That would be minimum. I would think at least a two year death penalty plus scholarship reductions and a lengthy TV ban after the two years. The TV ban might be moot since who would want to watch a bunch of walk on get pounded by Indiana. Although, if might be a better punishment to have a national audience to see them get pounded by Indiana.

Moving fast (1-2 weeks after the Freeh Report) may make the NCAA look like it's making strong moves and Penn State is getting hammered.

Not to sound like "The Cult", but their penalties may not be as bad or unprecedented. It's unprecedented because Penn State hasn't gotten a Letter of Allegations or anything like Ohio State's process a year ago.

Moving this quickly may just be a PR gesture by the NCAA and make it look strong. I hope I'm wrong and Penn State gets removed from the NCAA for 2-5 years.

Thee sanctions were not self-imposed or negotiated. This is Emmert taking a stand he felt he had to due to horrors in Freeh Report.

Penn State sanctions expected to be extremely harsh and could even be perceived as more damaging long-term than "death penalty"

Mark Emmert was granted authority to punish PSU in unprecedented manner by NCAA Board and Committee

Information is flying fast, but it looks very bad for PSU. I just hope the kids they have can transfer without penalty.

Would that still be feasible at this point in the year. Would there be spaces available at other universities for these players?

Yea, that's a good point... I have no idea how they'll handle the logistical issues, there's only a few of them.

I cannot stress this enough:

DO NOT use Joe Schad as your source for anything.

This person is not a reporter. Local reporters or other national reporters do the work and this person "Confirms" stories or lies and says "Sources", never actually doing the work.

Plus, Schad would do anything Mike Slive of the SEC asks him to do (read his e-mails to Auburn officials). He'd wash Slive's car.

Emmert told Penn State (http://www.psu.edu/ur/2011/NCAA.pdf) in November that the organization would be examining the "exercise of institutional control" within the athletic department, and said it was clear that "deceitful and dishonest behavior" could be considered a violation of ethics rules. So, too, could a failure to exhibit moral values

I love how Ped Staters aren't putting 'lack of institutional control' along with 'the Penn State Way'.

They should ask Sean Peyton and Jon Vilma what they think of 'unprecedented'. Cost Peyton millions of dollars and a marriage.

Also from the same story: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...asures-for-penn-state-20120722,0,406299.story

Bob Williams, the NCAA's vice president of communications, said after the Freeh report was released that Penn State needed to answer "four key questions, concerning compliance with institutional control and ethics policies."

Likely of particular interest to the NCAA were the report's conclusions that the school had "decentralized and uneven" oversight of compliance issues — laws, regulations, policies and procedures.

"Certain departments monitored their own compliance issues with very limited resources," the report found. Ensuring compliance with the federal Clery Act, which requires the reporting of crimes, was handled by someone with "minimal time."

"One of the most challenging tasks confronting the university," the report added, "is an open, honest and thorough examination of the culture that underlies the failure of Penn State's most powerful leaders to respond appropriately to Sandusky's crimes."

Penn State President Rodney Erickson said after the report that the school was "in much better position to respond" to the NCAA"s request.

I kind of have more of a problem with Penn State being in the Association of American Universities (AAU) and Nebraska being removed (probably because of Texas).

No academic fraud, at this point, with PSU, but Nebraska was just removed because of certain programs.
