A friend who formerly worked in a university's compliance department supposedly knows someone in the NCAA, who claims that the #PennState sanctions will include the following. I'd suggest taking all this with about two tons of salt, and I'm very skeptical about all of it (some of the supposed penalties I don't even really understand). If it's true, though, the penalties are truly staggering and sure sounds like the "death penalty" to me. Again, take this with TONS of salt:
Football Operations
Suspension of Football operations for 1 year to facilitate all transfers.
Special dispensation will allow players not to count against
scholarship numbers of acquiring teams.
Reduction of scholarships by 8 for 5 years beginning in 2014
Beginning in 2014, option to field team in Division 1AA, or
secondary sub division.
Records from 1998 will be vacated.
Financial
Ticket revenue offset payout given to scheduled opponents
for 2012 season to compensate for no games.
No Television until 2015.
Bowl Ban until 2015.
No scholarships for 2013.
Current roster allowed to transfer without penalty.
