On Penn State's 60 million $ fine

How will this be paid? I fear that this fine will ultimately be paid for by the students, faculty and staff of the university. Will the school raise tuition? Close academic departments? Lay off staff or untenured professors? Or perhaps close down other sports?

I am all for gradually winding down the football program, which is what this sanction seems to do. NFL prospects at PSU can transfer to other schools to play ball, and other scholarship players will continue to get a debt-free college education. But PSU will gradually fade into Division I mediocrity, I think rarely to be heard from again.

What I really oppose, however, is punishing students, faculty and staff for the sins of the football program and administration. I worry that the school, in the interest of saving football, will cut other costs and raise tuition t pay the fine.

If you know something that I don't please fill me in.
