State Penn

NCAA announced this morning a $60 million dollar fine and other sanctions against Penn State University. Mitoosense reported on the Sandusky arrest last year. We had no intentions of further scandalizing the issue.
I was shocked  to learn today Penn State and other schools would have enough money to pay a $60 million dollar fine. Perhaps this may be an indication of why the crimes took place and then ignored by Penn State officials.
Graham Spaniers salary was reported to be $545 thousand a year. A pile of money but, I thought it would be more. College tuition's are highest ever and students are forced into long term debts to pay off loans. If schools are kicking around this kind of cash maybe the problem is much bigger than Sandusky? In addition the $60 million fine paid to the NCAA goes where exactly? Sounds like a windfall from one greedy pocket to another! I would favor instead Penn State lower their tuition $60 million along with other schools and the NCAA authority.
