To put the fine in perspective, Penn State's athletic department had $116 million in revenue for the 2010-11 school year, the most recent data available according to figures from the U.S. Department of Education's Equity in Athletics.

Penn State has plenty of wealthy alumni who are Joe Paterno apologists, and who won't mind coughing up the money to help the athletic department get over that little bump.

A fine will not harm Penn State's athletic department. Now what they do on Monday is another story. I personally question whether the NCAA has the guts to really send a lesson to Penn State. I don't believe they do.

From reports it appears that they are going to really hit PSU really hard!
