Yeah because they sure gained a competitive advantage and used ineligible players.

Vacating wins for moral reasons...Awesome NCAA.

In terms of schollies, bowl ban, and probation, not too much more than USC got for bush taking money from a wannabe agent and felon and one assistant coach covering it up. Double bowl ban, one more year of 15 yearly a schollie limits, and 65 instead of 75. Real tough NCAA.

What a stupid move.

Federal law was broken, let federal law take care of the penalties.

Don't have a problem with any of the sanctions except for vacating the wins. Got a problem with that one, not so much for Joe Pa, moreso for the players that worked their asses off and now have nothing to show for their efforts on field.
