NCAA Hands Penn State It's Punishment & Paterno Statue Removed

Over the weekend, Joe Paterno's statue outside of Beaver Stadium was removed. The statue had been in front of the stadium since 2001. Now the NCAA has handed down sanctions to Penn State regarding former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky child molestation conviction and cover up by Joe Paterno, along with the Penn State brass. Some of those punishments will include a loss in scholarships, a 4 year bowl ban, and millions of dollars in which the university will have to dish out to various organizations. Joe Paterno will no longer be the all time winningest football coach, Eddie Robinson the former Grambling head coach regains that title. NCAA are taking wins away from Penn State since 1998. Obviously the NCAA is upset, Penn State brass including JoePa put the football program over the victims. Which allowed more individuals to become victims.
