Penn State officials react to NCAA modification of football sanctions

Penn State officials are gratified by the decision of the NCAA Executive Committee to modify the scholarship limitations previously imposed on the University under the consent decree between the University and the NCAA. This action, announced today, taken in recognition of Penn State’s significant progress under and continued compliance with the Athletics Integrity Agreement, grants immediate relief from both the initial scholarship restrictions and overall team limit restrictions previously imposed on the University’s football program. This modification will restore a total of 65 scholarship opportunities for football student athletes wanting to attend Penn State.
