penn state's football program crippled after the ncaa dealt the university a harsh set of saptions. the sanctions include -- sanctions. the sanctions include a $60 million, a four-year ban on post-season bowls and the loss of up to 80 scholarships between now and 2015. 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 1

penn state and this entire community. that $60 million record fine, that's the equivalent of the entire one-year revenue of the penn state football programnd that, though. a loss of 40 scholarships over four years. that's key to penn state's ability to recruit athletes to come play at the school. banning, no bowl games for four years, and perhaps the cruelest blow for the legacy of joe paterno, the vacating of all his victories between 1998 and 2011. he was known as the most winning coach in major college football history, more than 100 wins are now wiped off the slate. that's no longer the case. but the real impact here is, what does this do for penn state football, which was so crucial to the economic engine of this community, and the identity of the school. and if it can recruit and put on a top flight football team, if it can't play in bl games, basically, something that has been central to penn state for decades has been really, severely hit here, all a result of that jerry sandusky sex abuse scandal. >> michael isikoff, thank you so much. just about half an hour ago, sir elton john took part in a public reading of the names of peop

ncaa will step in and deliver its own version of the death penalty, which is to suspend penn state's football program for a year or possibly more. that could happen. >> bob, what happens when we see the name penn state in years to come? do you think it ever, ever fully recovers from this? >> no, it can never fully recover. sadly, neither can the reputation of joe paterno. i don't think that what happened with sandusky invalidates all the good and worthy things joe paterno did with much of his life, but now especially with louis freeh's report making it clear that, at least in his view, joe paterno knew more and was in a position to do more than his defenders would like to have you believe. this is a serious blow to joe paterno's reputation. and even those inclined to give the benefit of the doubt would have to concede that. >> if this is a rock thrown into a pond and there are ripples coming out, does this wash up against other programs, other colleges, especially for those of us who have college students in our families. it's so important to remember these are amateur athletes. these are kids. >> ye
