Since when has an organization like the NCAA had the power to levy a fine such as this? I can see sanctions and prohibiting athletic scholarships etc., but a fine? I would like to think that only a court had this power.

Oh, with Penn State's personality cultists willing to open their checkbooks, this amount is a drop in the bucket. (Just chock it up as an "ante up" fee for Penn State's willingness to join THE pedophile conference)

It's part of their contract with the NCAA. Other sports leagues and teams also have fines for misbehavior.

It might not be enforceable if Penn State leaves the NCAA, but I don't see that happening.
