how is the ncaa going to get out in front of this? this was their way to try to send any kind of message it could to say look, we have to try to show we're not just going to turn a lined blind eye to this. joe paterno, the most iconic coach in our lifetime in college football his legacy has been devastated. this was the case study of all the ills that could happen in a worst case scenario. >> michael, explain just the impact you know, it's interesting. he used too big to fail to describe that that may have been the administration's initial response to basically turning a blind eye to sandusky and paterno at the time when all of this was brought to light, that they saw the football program as too big to fail. what kind of impact on the entire athletic program? how much did football fund everything there in state college? >> well, look, that's in many ways been the sort of core issue all along, that football was so big here, it was so central to the school's identity. pa tern know was iconic figure and the symbol of the school. that any

what is your understanding of where the ncaa comes down? i understand you're reporting that penn state does not plan to appeal whatever the ncaa announces. does that mean they've already been informed? >> i think they've been informed they're going to have a severe punishment. people close to the ncaa said only about five people in mark emmert's inner circle really knew exactly what was going to come down this morning. i think that's worth keeping in mind. just for people who are going to hear terms about devastating and crippling, two years ago, usc got hit with you know, devastating sanctions. two-year postseason bowl ban, going to lose. >> the number one ranked team you're talking about? >> yeah. what's worth noting there is us c-appealed the sanctions and what that was able to do was, it let the new coach lane kiffin basically brace for the scholarship hits and back load his roster. if penn state doesn't appeal, that means the sanctions kick in right away. and then all of a sudden, you're in this kind of scramble mode. if there's multip

with a long list of penalties, the ncaa crippled the penn state football for years. >> no price the ncaa can levy can repair the grievous damage inflicted by sandusky on his victims. however, we can make clear that the culture, actions and inactions that allowed them to be victimized will not be tolerated in collegiate athletics. >> reporter: shocked students watched. a $60million fine equals to one-year gross revenue of the program. that monly will go to child abuse or assist the victims. a ban on post season bowl games and all wins vacated, a loss of 20 scholarships per year over four years and five years on probation. >> i don't think it's necessary. i don't think they have the authority to do something like this. >> reporter: it could have been worse. the ncaa could have suspended the program. it's only been used before at smu in the late 80s. >> suspension of the program would bring significant unintended harm to many who had nothing to did with this case. >> yesterday penn state removed the statue of joe paterno. >> and joe paterno's family released a statement. it reads in part, t

should the ncaa have that kind of power? >> i think clearly mark emmert, president of the ncaa, is trying to regain some of that lost power. they've been inched away. when they talk about to me student athlete and you look at all the students that leave one year mostly in basketball, it's not really student athletes. >> you think this is the ncaa trying to reassert itself in term of control of college sports? >> absolutely. they're trying to send a message and have extended their authority to stay we're going to police our colleges against certain evils. clearly they had a risk case to jump in on because it was so one-sided and horrible to those children and to the image of penn state. >> some good points. thank you. appreciate your time. we want to know what you think. is the ncaa's punishments appropriate or do the sanctions hurt too many people who were never involved in the coverup or the crime? e-mail your thoughts to mcginty's mailbag, the address mcginty'smailbag@wusa9.com. >>> coming up in a minute hiv no longer pass

finally the ncaa -- >> there you are hearing it from ncaa president mark emmert, the sanctions and penalties leveed against penn state. they are historic and significant. they include a $60 million fine. the banning of penn state from bowl games and other postseason play for four years and most significantly -- very significantly, they are vacating all wins by the penn state football team from 1998 to 2011 if i wrote that correctly. >> yes, you did. i think we both gasped at that. that is a harsh penalty. we will talk about it more, right. >> in a couple of moments we will talk about it and get analysis in a few minutes. >> all right. it is one of the deadliest diseases in the nation and the nation's capital has one of the highest infection rates. >> the fight to stop aids comes to d.c.

what does the ncaa do?caa is responsible for enforcing and regulating on-field competition. >> no, it's in charge of policing its member schools and what it did today does not have an impact on what will happen in court. the court system will have its day. the ncaa must be a say on what happened and must say football cannot -- >> i'm sorry, the organization, the -- this is where they lose me. this is where the ncaa laz aca because it's a corrupt and hypocritical corruption. this is the same organization that about a year ago negotiated a $10.8 billion television deal to televise basketball games. college basketball games. so this organization is now going to talk to us about how a too big to fail mentality is creeping in to college sports and threatening the rightful place of academics. the organization negotiates $11 billion television deals for basketball games. that is the definition of too big to fail. the ncaa has been corrupt and has been hypocritical and has promote this had kid this kind . the ncaa

and finally, a monitor who will, for a five-year period will report to the ncaa, the ncaa's board of trustees and the big 10 conference. they will report on the progress penn state is making in implementing all provisions of this agreement. let me address also the issue of the so-called death penalty. the executive committee, the division i board and i, had extensive discussions about the appropriateness of imposing a suspension of football for one or more years. an argument can be made that the egregiousness of the behavior in this case is greater than any other seen in ncaa history, and that, therefore, a multi-year suspension is appropriate. after much debate, however, we concluded that the sanctions needed to reflect our goals of driving cultural change as much as apply punitive actions. suspension of the football program would bring with it significant unintended harm to many who had nothing to do with this case. the sanctions we have crafted are more focused and impactful than that blanket penalty. moreover, the actions already taken by the new chair of the board, terrent peets

in the past the ncaa has taken years to determine punishment, innocent this case. they were swift in their actions. here the penalties, a $60 million fine which reef reflects the annual revenues of the football team. 112 wins have been vacated between 1998 and 2011 no, bowl games for years, athletic department on probation for five years. students can transfer effective immediately. strong words were used by the collegiate governing body. take a listen. >> in the penn state case the results were perverse and unconscionable. no price the ncaa can levy will repair the grievous damage inflicted by jerry sandusky. >> every major college and university needs to do a gut check and ask where are we on the appropriate balance between the culture and athletics and the broader culture of the university? >> some perspective here. it's a five year probation. here are some of the other lengthy bans on football programs since 1960. indiana, four years, houston, michigan state and oklahoma state all three years. more present day ohio state, the tattoo scandal three years, usc reg

we want to go to the ncaa statement on penn state. let's listen in. >> and the powerful people who let them down. there's also been much speculation on whether or not the ncaa has the authority to impose any type of penalty related to penn state. not only does the ncaa have the authority to act in this case, we also have the responsibility to say that such egregious behavior is not only against our bylaws and constitution, but also against our values system and basic human decency. the executive committee which acts on behalf of the entire association, and implements policies to resolve core issues, alongwith the division i board, a body of presidents representing all of division i directed president emert to investigate the circumstances surrounding the penn state tragedy and 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

what kind of power does the ncaa wield? >> i think ultimately penn state was supposed to protect children. it didn't. i think the ncaa used the criminal case against jerry sandusky as evidence and the freeh report and they just really wanted to make sure this doesn't happen anywhere else. they sent a message to all the teams. i'm sure every school in the united states now is making sure they're compliant and protecting the kids on campus and the children that come through camps and do all those things and making sure this never happens again. >> all right. let's hope some good comes out of this. nfl network's michael lombardi, i appreciate you waking up so early. >> have fun in london. >>> let's turn to politics. president obama and mitt romney easing back into campaign mode. david axelrod set the tone for the day sending thought tweet, tax returns. blunders. bain. ma records and now key documents from the olympics. when it comes to secrecy, mitt takes the gold. axel rod attached a link to a new report showing internal docu

one day after his campus statue came down, the ncaa took away all of his victories from 1998 to 2011. it's part of the sanctions imposed in the jerry sandusky sex abuse scandal. >> the 1998 date was selected because that's when the first reported incidents of abuse occurred and that's when the failure to respond appropriately began. >> reporter: the ncaa also fined penn state $60 million, banned the football team from postseason play for four years. and reduced scholarships. current and incoming players are free to transfer and compete at other schools. university officials accepted the penalty saying they will require penn state to move forward. many students believe the ncaa went too far. >> i just don't think its fair that they took away joe pa's record. >> definitely too much. the people who should be punished are sandusky and those who covered it up. not the players and new coaches. >> reporter: ncaa stopped short of imposing the so-called death penalty which would have canceled games for a year or more. >> suspension of the football program would bring with it significant uninte

a means to justify sanctions would constitute new territory for the ncaa. the deeision comes down at 9am. some are saying the school should get the "death penalty", what would that mean? jury selection is set to begin today... in the murder trial of drew peterson. peterson.he's the former chicago police officer charged with killing his third wife, kathleen savio... and the suspect in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, stacey peterson. a 2-hundred-person jury pool has been waiting á3 yearsá for a trial to get under way. among the questions potential jurors may be asked... is whether they saw a t-v movie about the life of peterson. a 16-year-old lifeguard is being hailed a hero... not for pulling someone out of the water...but for saving a couple from their burning home. alex panopoulos and his friends left a midnight screening of the ádark knight risesá ...when he saw smoke and flames rising from the roof of a home on ácromwell bridge roadá. that's when he and his friends' mom called 9-1-1 and banged on the door of the home .. alerting the family ins

we're trying to ascertain what role the ncaa has to play. it is pretty hard to read that report and not conclude that there were systemic failures across the institution, including within the athletic department, that strikes at the heart of what education is all about. and what athletics is supposed to be about. it is deeply troubling. it is hard to stay un emotional about this case. tavis: is that to say that the school lacked institutional control over the program? if the ncaa gets involved --is that your way of saying that? >> what we did back in november when the accusations first came out and we reviewed the grand jury testimony, i wrote to the president of penn state and said look, here are a handful of questions that you need to answer. at the end of which we will make a determination as to whether we will form and the guests -- an investigation. penn state asked to wait to respond. we are in active discussions with penn state right now. i need to get a response back from them right away and then we will make that determination. we w

freeh report released, paterno statue removed, ncaa sanctions delivered.morning, the president, mark emmert lashed out at the university calling their culture perverse and unconscionable. today we sought the opinions of sports journalists here. >> 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 is the worst tragedy in the history of college sports. >> i don't agree with the fact that they did not give them the death personalty, but an -- penalty, but an egregious situation like this they should have the power and authority to do so. >> what happens to joe paterno's wins now? down to 298. bobby bowden becomes the winningest coach in major college football. the matre at penn state has always been we are penn state.

came down early in the morning and the fall out from this whole scandal continues tomorrow as the ncaa reveals its punishments. it was the dismantling of an icon. the statute of joe paterno was covered with a tarp as workers used jam hackers to remove it and put it in storage. >> this is a travesty. >> it's saddened. >> i respect what they did. i understand why there was a lot behind that statute. >> reporter: the president of the baltimore chapter of the penn state allumni said he would not have any comment until monday, after the ncaa announces the sanctions. those ncaa sanctions will be unprecedented. >> what's off the table i'm told now is the so called death penalty. so penn state will not have its football program suspended for a year. but when the sanctions are alled said and done, penn state is going to wish they had the death penalty -- are alleged said and done. >> reporter: some hoped the gesture would have the ncaa the go easy. penn state's president also said that the statute needed to go because it was a source of division and an obstacle to healing. adam. >> derek valcou

>> you can move along. >> penn state gets heavy ncaa captions. if i understood you correctly your problem with this is it is more about punishment than it is about preventing something like this happening again. >> i am fine with punishment. i don't think it is a deterrent factor in the future stoping other people from not reporting. >> it seems to me if you are the person who is not going to report sexual abuse of kids, what is going to make you -- if you are that screwed up, nothing is going to do it. >> if you are going to be taught that is wrong, you are a lost cause. >> so should the ncaa have done anything? paterno is dead and sandusky is in jail and the president of the united states -- president of the university resigns. >> is that it? >> i am not qualified to weigh in on that. it is not a football issue. i don't even know -- i don't think it is any of their business. it is not a football issue. >> i want to point out, none of us are qualified to talk about anything. give your opinion. you are no less qualified than anybody else here. i

you disagreed with week with the ncaa action. why?> i don't have a problem with punishment of penn state but looking to the ncaa is like looking to the united nations security council to solve any problems. it is the sports culture that they complain about. they have this fine. we don't know where the $60 million is going. i don't think there is any allegation that any buy laws were in fact violated and i think the creepiest thing here is vacating wins on the field with no advantage. if we are going to do this my view is we should go back and knock point's off pete rose's batting average and take away his record and lifetime hits. take away o.j. simpson's records at usc. bill clinton got impeached, take away some of his electoral votes. what the problem at penn state is not that people were unaware. was a it was a lack of leadership and responsibility. you can't outsource. we outsource to the cops and courts. >> what about the argument why punish the students and the football players who really didn't do anything in this. this was a f

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

but the ncaa doesn't get involved in criminal penalties.on we asked ourselves was, about the athletic department, control over the athletic department, the culture of the athletic program. and so we imposed a series of sanctions, 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 advocacy group s.n.a.p. had this to say, vacating wins is a hollow punishment that will be forgotten by the time the next season begins. bans from bowl games have been issued in the past because players traded championship rings for tattoos. this is not a punishment equal to the crimes that happened at penn state. what do you say to the victims? >> well, we've made very important points about our concern for those victims. again, the ncaa is not in the business of criminally penalizing jerry sandusky for his crimes. our job is to worry about the overall impact of the university's athletic programs. we fined th
