The stripped victories stretched back to 1998 and removed Paterno's crown as winningest college football coach in history. He died of cancer in January.

Notable NCAA scandals


A judge sentenced the 69-year-old Sandusky in October to at least 30 years in prison -- meaning he will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.
He had faced a maximum of 400 years for dozens of charges stemming from his sexual abuse of 10 boys over a 15-year period. Sandusky was convicted in June 2012.
During the sentencing, Victim 5 told the court Sandusky's punishment "will never erase what he did to me."
"It will never make me whole," he said. "He must pay for his crimes, take into account the tears, the pain, the private anguish."
He added that he will never forget the image of Sandusky "forcing himself on me and forcing my hand on him."
