The NCAA crushed Penn State with scholarship reductions that could be felt for the rest of this decade and a bowl ban over the next four seasons. But it stopped short of handing down the death penalty, which would have forced the school to shut down the program the way it did to SMU in 1987, allowing Penn State to prepare for their Sept. 1, 2012, opener against Ohio.
