The NCAA has announced unprecedented sanctions against Penn State in response to the cover up of sex-abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky.

The university must pay a $60-million dollar fine and the football team is banned from post season play for the next four years.

In addition, the NCAA is taking away all of the football team wins under legendary coach Joe Paterno from 1998-to-2011.

The announcement comes one day after Penn State removed a statue Paterno.
