ON FOOTBALL: Penn State program far from dead (Yahoo! Sports)

FILE - In this Nov. 12, 2011, file photo, Penn State's Blue Band performs before an NCAA college football game between Nebraska and Penn State in State College, Pa. 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.

The mere suggestion that NCAA sanctions against Penn State were worse than receiving the so-called death penalty were enough to make first-year coach Bill O'Brien raise his voice a notch.
