STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — The NCAA is ready to announce penalties against Penn State in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky case.

It comes a day after the school removed the famed statue of coach Joe Paterno from in front of Beaver Stadium.

The NCAA says it will impose "corrective and punitive" sanctions against the university in the wake of a devastating report that asserted top university officials buried child sex abuse allegations against a retired assistant coach more than a decade ago.

The Nittany Lions will likely lose scholarships and receive a multi-year ban from bowl games.

And NCAA President Mark Emmert cautioned last week that he hasn't ruled out the possibility of shutting down the Penn State football program altogether.
