The Paterno family said on Monday the NCAA's actions "defame the legacy and contributions of a great coach and educator without any input from our family or those who knew him best".
Later on Monday, the Big Ten Conference of college sports announced Penn State would forfeit its share of revenues for post-season bowl games organized by the league, and the estimated $13 million would instead be donated to charities devoted to the protection of children. The $60 million will also go to programs to combat child abuse.
"No price . . . will repair the grievous damage inflicted by Jerry Sandusky on his victims," said Emmert. "However, we can make clear that the culture, actions and inactions that allowed them to be victimized will not be tolerated in collegiate athletics."
In June, Sandusky, 68, was convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys over a period of 15 years. He awaits sentencing and could be given as many as 373 years.
