The money will go to victims of child abuse. Then second one is they will be banned from bowl games for 4 years. The third penalty is the number of scholarships will be reduced from 25 to 15. The last penalty they will face is the University will vacate all wins from 1998-2011.

The biggest surprise/shock is vacating all of their wins from 1998-2011 meaning Paterno is no longer the winningest coach in Division 1 NCAA football.

Good use of the $60 million fine to establish nation-wide programs to fight child abuse.

NCAA Officials say they will take away Joe Paterno's wins starting from 1998.

NCAA's Unprecedented Sanctions on Penn State:

* Four-year bowl ban
* Reduction of 10 initial scholarships + 20 total scholarships each year for four years.
* $60 million fine
* All wins vacated from 1998-2011
* All current PSU players can transfer immediately

Penn State signed an agreement with NCAA to accept these penalties.
