president emmert? >> the penn state case has provoked in all of us deeply powerful emotions and shaken our most fundamental confidence in many ways. as we, the executive committee, the division 1 board and i, have examined and discussed this case, we've kept foremost in our thoughts the tragic damage that has been done to the victims and their families. no matter what we do here today, there is no action we can take that will remove their pain and anguish. but what we can do is impose sanctions that both reflect the magnitude of these terrible acts and that are also -- and that also ensure that penn state will rebuild an athletic culture that went horribly awry. our goal is not to be just punitive, but to make sure the university establishes an athletic culture and daily mind-set in which football will never again be placed ahead of educating, nurturing, and protecting young people. more than 100 years ago, the ncaa was created to assure that sports are fully integrated into our colleges and universiti

a conversation with the man who oversees collegiate sports, mark emmert. the debate over college athletes, he now must deal with the biggest scandal in college sports, the tragedy at penn state. we're glad you have joined us. a conversation with mark emmert, coming up right now. >> every community has a martin luther king boulevard. it's the cornerstone we all know. it's not just a street or boulevard, but a place where walmart stands together with your community to make every day better. >> and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. tavis: since 2010, mark emmert has been serving as the president of the national collegiate -- in honor to have you on this program. you are the one guy i expected to cancel this week. with all the stuff on your plate, thank you for honoring a commitment to be here. let's start with the penn state stuff and get that out of the way. i think there will be reverberations for years to come. i want to discuss other things with you tonight. let me start by asking your overall thoughts on this scandal.

university.this is a live look from the n-c-double-a headquarters where president mark emmert is expectedmake the announcement. announcement. 3 the move by the n- c- a- a follows an 3 independent investigation led by former f-b-i director louis freeh.the report holds four top penn state officials... including head coach joe paterno... responsible for failing to stop former assistant coach jerry sandusky from continuing to sexually abuse boys. 3 a source familiar with the case says penn state will be hit with fines of more than 30- million-dollars. another source says the sanctions quote "will really aint a picture that essentially says that leadership failure and systemic failures can't be tolerated."the announcement comes one day after joe paterno's statue was removed from outside the campus stadium. 3 announcementááá)) joel d. smith is with reaction to the announcement... good morning joel d. 3 patrice, penn state has the largest alumni country... about half a million.reacting to the statue being taken down early yesterday are very worried about the sanctions that will be announced hour

>> if this whole case was not so tragic, i would be laughing too hard to respond to what mark emmert just said. the n.c.a.a. -- n.c.a.a. was started by teddy roosevelt, because too many people were dying on the field. it was to create uniform code of conduct for collegiate sports. it has morphed into this operation where they negotiate $10.8 billion television deals, so the likenesses of players to video games, or sell the likenesses of players on credit cards for wealthy boosters. this is what the n.c.a.a. has become. for too many colleges under the auspices of the n.c.a.a. has become the place where the games exist on saturday and that is what the school is from a life- support system for these football games. monday through friday is, you just take classes to wait for the next. this was talked about a century ago, how it perverts the college campuses. the 1 plus $6 million a seller of mark emmert, and the vice president each make $400,000 a year, it is all built on the idea of football program is becoming too big to fail. that is why i would argue what they did yesterday was much

the division one board, a body of presidents representing all of division one directed president emmert if appropriate make recommendations regarding punitive and corrective measures. as a result of the information produced from the sandusky criminal investigation, and the freeh report, which penn state commissioned and also agreed to its findings, it became obvious that the leadership failures at penn state over an extended period of time directly violated association bylaws and the ncaa constitution relating to control over the athletic department integrity and ethical conduct. the corrective and punitive measures the division one board of directors have authorized should serve as a stark wake-up call to everyone involved in college sports that our first responsibility as outlined in our constitution is to adhere to the fundamental values of respect, fairness, civility, honesty and responsibility. i will turn to the president to discuss the actions and what is expected of penn state in the future. >> the penn state case has provoked in all of us deeply powerful emotions and shaken the

too much harm to innocent parties, emmert says., the school pays $60 million for an endowed fund to prevent child sexual abuse, lose ten football scholarships a year for four years, be banned from postseason play during that time, and have all wins from 1998 through last season vacated from the record books, meaning once-revered joe paterno is no longer the winningest coach in ncaa history. >> one of the grave dangers stemming from our love of sports is that the sports themselves can become too big to fail, indeed, too big to even challenge. >> reporter: the ncaa relied on penn state's own investigation into the jerry sandusky scandal in crafting its punishment. sandusky will spend the rest of his life in jail. joe paterno is dead and his statue is gone from its place outside beaver stadium. other penn state leaders await trial on criminal charges. penn state officials accept the penalty and corrective action. now em erlt says it's up to penn state to fix its culture and make sure that football never again forces doing the right th

emmert, why didn't the ncaa board hand down the sanctions?et the power to penalize the university? >> it actually was the board and the executive committee that did hand down these penalties. in working with the executive committee and the division 1 board, myself, they authorized me to impose these penalties. we worked together to determine what those penalty, are. and, in fact, it is the power of the executive committee that's being enforced here that brings these penalties to bear. >> let's talk about the amount of the fines again. $60 million fine. your $60 million fine. it's only about a year's revenue for the football program. if it's a four-year sanction, shouldn't it be four times the amount? shouldn't it be $240 million? >> again, we need to put this all in perspective. so the largest fine that's ever been imposed by the ncaa is literally 1/100th of that. this is an enormous fine in any context in the athletic world it the university's football program does generate gross revenue of about $60 million a year. but of course that's not

>> mark emmert, the president of the ncaa. you're having this exact conversation with absolutely everybody, because it's so fascinating to find out what went on behind the scenes in this decision. nice to have you, sir. >> good to be here. >>> we have to take a short break. still ahead, our "tough call." the muppets saying no to chick-fil-a. we'll tell you why the makers behind the puppets are cutting ties with the fast food brand. we're back in a moment. male spirit present.trong it's the priceline negotiator. >>what? >>sorry. he wants you to know about priceline's new express deals. it's a faster way to get a great hotel deal without bidding. pick one with a pool, a gym, a great guest rating. >>and save big. >>thanks negotiator. wherever you are. ya, no. he's over here. >>in the refrigerator? energy is being produced to power our lives. while energy development comes with some risk, north america's natural gas producers are committed to safely and responsibly providing generations of cleaner-burning energy for our country, d

anyone should feel good about. >>> with us now is ncaa president mark emmert. good morning. >> good morning. >> what was the intent of this? and what did you hope to achieve by this? >> well, the intent is fairly straightforward. but the challenge is enormous. the intent is to make sure that we keep our values straight. we play sport in america in our schools, in k-12 schools and universities, for the purpose of embedding in our youngsters the kind of core values we all associate with sport, responsibility, honestly, integrity, fair play. and when you have a sport program that has cast those values aside for the values of hero worship or winninga t at a cos costs, then you have lost track of what it's all about. >> are you using penn state to send a statement to all athletic programs at all universities in the united states saying, rethink big time sports at your college. >> well, the actions of penn state itself send that message. we are reinforcing that message by saying that kind of behavior is intolerable in intercollegiate athletics. we can't stand to the

emmert saying doing so would bring with it significant unintended harm to many who had done nothing -- that had nothing to do with this case. penn state president says the school accepts the punishment which comes a day after the university took down the paterno statue outside the football stadium. jaime, is it nice that penn state accepted their punishment? >> yes. can i have a another, they ask? first of all, it is a function that destroyed the program, as far as you can see. who will go to penn state except the worst player who can't get anywhere else. it is a d3 football school at this point. i don't mind the punishment, what they allowed to happen there is horrific. it will not deter anyone in the future. no one will say, it is not like paw person know would have come forward -- paterno would have come forward if he knew what would happen. the act itself should be motivating to come forward. nothing else will bring it to light. i don't think this will change anything. >> were they too harsh on the players? >> i am out of my field. i don't follow football, but i think it is harsh

president emmert? >> the penn state case has provoked in all of us deeply powerful emotions and shaken our most fundamental confidence in many ways. as we, the executive committee, the division i board and i, have examined and discussed this case we've kept foremost in our thoughts the tragic damage that has been done to the victims and their familis. no matter what we do here today there is no action we can take that will remove their pain and anguish but what we can do is impose sanctions that both reflect the magnitude of these terrible acts and that are also insure that penn state will rebuild an athletic culture that went horribly awry. our goal is not to be just punitive but to make sure the university establishes an athletic culture and daily mind set in which football will never again be placed ahead of educating, nurturing and protecting young people. more than 100 years ago the ncaa was created to insure that sports are fully integrated into our colleges and universities and that the athletic

ncaa president mark emmert stepped to the mike and lashed out at penn state calling their culture, quoteperverse and unconscionable. throughout the day yesterday, we sought the opinions of a local sports journalist. if you think emmert's language was strong, listen to this. >> i still would have liked to see the program go away for a year because if ever there was a loss of institutional control in college athletics, this was it. this was the worst tragedy in the history of college sports. >> i don't agree with the fact they did not give them the death penalty but certainly they should have the power and authority to do so. >> joe paterno moves from first on the list of all time wins to fifth in terms of major college coaches, 12th overall. 409 wins down to 298. bobby bowden now becomes the winningest coach.

ncaa president, mark emmert, who levied the sanctions, is "outfront" with us tonight.ir. but a lot of people wanted to see you go further by canceling the football season like in 1987 when smu was found guilty of paying players under the table. raping children and a possible cover-up is far worse. why not cancel the season? >> well, first of all, the two cases, of course, are extraordinarily different. everyone at the penn state case in its entirety and its one of the most egregious acts i think any of us have witnessed. the ncaa doesn't get involved in criminal violations or criminal penalties. our question that we asked ourselves was, what was the involvement of the athletic department? and so we only worry about the athletic department, control over the athletic department, the culture of the athletic program, and so we imposed a series of sanctions, both -- some of them punitive and some corrective. to make sure the football program and athletic department doesn't find itself in the position again where anything like this could ever happen. >> doctor, the victim ad

president emmert spoke to the unprecedented nature of this. and this pretty much goes a against the way the ncaa has operated from its inception, meaning that they have set procedures and hearings and notices, and they've taken it upon themselves to levy what many might consider worse than the death penalty, even though they say they didn't give penn state the death penalty. >> their objective here, a change of culture -- i was trying to count how many times i heard the word culture. this is really far more -- should be far more reaching than penn state. >> it is, and i think what the ncaa is coming in and trying to say, and you could agree or disagree with whether they have the authority or whether this is their place, necessarily, but what they're saying is, you know, we are going to take a bigger role in not only athletics but integrity. and, you know, i think that was the thing that president emmert, you know, tried to make clear, that this is more of a moral and institutional issue rather than a football issue. the beef that i have with a

on cbs this morning, ncaa president mark emmert discussed the severity of this move. >>it's about an institution that had a severe systemic loss of integrity. it failed to maintain control over its athletic programs. there were multiple violations of any sense of ethical conduct. those are the things that surround and build up the culture inside an athletic department. we simply can't abide that. >> the ncaa is permitting penn state athletes to transfer out of the football program without penalties. >>> investigators are now trying to determine what caused a house explosion that killed a 12-year-old girl and injured four people in western new york. it happened early this morning in the town of wilson outside of buffalo. police say four survivors were found outside of the home. they were rushed to area hospitals. the 12-year-old girl was found buried beneath rubble in the two-story house. >>> the d.c. police department's gay and lesbian unit -- or lesbian liaison unit will be investigating the beatings of two men. they were attacked sunday night in northeast. police sa
