NCAA President Mark Emmert announced sweeping sanctions against Penn State University this morning, in response to the horrific child sex abuse scandal that has rocked the school's venerable football program. The university's own investigation -- led by former FBI director Louis Freeh -- determined that top university officials and football personnel, including the late Joe Paterno, participated an extensive cover-up to protect Penn State football.

but vacating victories seems more like overkill and frankly does for the victims
but making Penn State pay the full costs of the counselling services as well as punitive payments for what one of their employees did to his victims
