NCAA Sues Pennsylvania Over $60 Million Sandusky Abuse Fine

The National Collegiate Athletic Association filed a lawsuit accusing Pennsylvania of trying to confiscate a $60 million sanction imposed against Pennsylvania State University in the Jerry Sandusky child-abuse case.
A new law that lets the state control the use of the funds violates the U.S. Constitution and can’t be enforced, the NCAA said in a complaint filed yesterday in federal court in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The bill, passed this month and enacted today, applies to all large fines levied against state-supported institutions.
