Corbett Says No Tax Money Should Be Spent on Fine



Governor Tom Corbett says he wants assurances that Penn State won't spend any tax dollars on the $60-million fine levied by the NCAA.
 
Corbett issued a statement Monday saying he's relieved that the association did not shut down Penn State's football program as part of sanctions it imposed for the scandal surrounding Jerry Sandusky's conviction on child sex-abuse charges.
 
Corbett blamed "the appalling actions of a few people" for damaging the university's reputation but said officials have to accept the sanctions, which also include a four-year ban on post-season play and the erasure of 14 years of coach Joe Paterno's victories.
 
The governor said Penn State is "more than football" and expressed confidence the university will regain its reputation as a "world-class" institution.
