The NCAA announced Sunday that it will levy "corrective and punitive measures" against Penn State in the wake of the child sex-abuse scandal involving Jerry Sandusky and a scathing report that found school leaders covered up allegations against the now-convicted former assistant football coach.

 The NCAA released no details, saying they would be disclosed on Monday morning by NCAA President Mark Emmert and Ed Ray, the chairman of the NCAA's executive committee and Oregon State's president. 
 
 Sandusky is awaiting sentencing after being convicted of 45 criminal counts for abusing 10 boys over a number of years. A report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh concluded that the late coach Joe Paterno and three former administrators _ President Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz _ "repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse." 
 
 Emmert as recently as last week would not rule out the possibility of shutting down the Penn State football program in the wake of the scandal, adding that he had "never seen anything as egregious." 
 
 The last time the NCAA shut down a football program with the so-called "death penalty" was in the 1980s, when SMU was forced to drop the sport because of extra benefits violations. After the NCAA suspended the SMU program for a year, the school decided not to play in 1988, either, as it tried to regroup. 
 
 Current NCAA rules limit the penalty to colleges already on probation that commit another major violation. But NCAA leaders have indicated in recent months they are willing to use harsher penalties for the worst offenses. That includes postseason and TV bans, which haven't been used extensively since the 1980s. 
 
 "This is completely different than an impermissible benefits scandal like (what) happened at SMU, or anything else we've dealt with. This is as systemic a cultural problem as it is a football problem. There have been people that said this wasn't a football scandal," Emmert told PBS. "Well, it was more than a football scandal, much more than a football scandal. It was that but much more. And we'll have to figure out exactly what the right penalties are. I don't know that past precedent makes particularly good sense in this case, because it's really an unprecedented problem." 
 
 Emmert told Penn State (http://www.psu.edu/ur/2011/NCAA.pdf) in November that the organization would be examining the "exercise of institutional control" within the athletic department, and said it was clear that "deceitful and dishonest behavior" could be considered a violation of ethics rules. So, too, could a failure to exhibit moral values 
 
 Ohio State is banned from playing in a bowl game this season as a result of the "failure to monitor" charge that followed coach Jim Tressel's admission that he knew several of his star players were trading memorabilia for cash and tattoos in violation of NCAA rules and did not report it. The Buckeyes also vacated the 2010 season and were hit with NCAA probation and a loss of scholarships. Southern California was banned from the postseason for two years and stripped of 30 scholarships following the Reggie Bush scandal. 
 
 Still pending before the NCAA is the Miami case involving booster Nevin Shapiro. 
 
 Bob Williams, the NCAA's vice president of communications, said after the Freeh report was released that Penn State needed to answer "four key questions, concerning compliance with institutional control and ethics policies." 
 
 Likely of particular interest to the NCAA were the report's conclusions that the school had "decentralized and uneven" oversight of compliance issues _ laws, regulations, policies and procedures. 
 
 "Certain departments monitored their own compliance issues with very limited resources," the report found. Ensuring compliance with the federal Clery Act, which requires the reporting of crimes, was handled by someone with "minimal time." 
 
 "One of the most challenging tasks confronting the university," the report added, "is an open, honest and thorough examination of the culture that underlies the failure of Penn State's most powerful leaders to respond appropriately to Sandusky's crimes." 
 
 Penn State President Rodney Erickson said after the report that the school was "in much better position to respond" to the NCAA"s request. ||||| BELLEFONTE, Pennsylvania Former college football coach Jerry Sandusky and at least some of his victims plan to address the judge at his sentencing, a proceeding that may last less than two hours, lawyers said after a closed-door meeting to iron out logistics ahead of the Tuesday hearing. 
 
 Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola said the former Penn State assistant coach will almost certainly speak to Judge John Cleland and assert his innocence before he is sentenced on 45 counts of child sexual abuse for molesting 10 boys over 15 years after meeting them through a charity for at-risk children. 
 
 "What I anticipate he'll say is he's innocent," Amendola said outside the courthouse Monday afternoon. 
 
 Listen: Sandusky proclaims innocence in jailhouse recording 
 
 On Monday, Sandusky released a rare jailhouse recording in which he questioned his accusers' motives and repeatedly proclaimed to be innocent of and baffled by the charges against him. The three-minute statement aired on Penn State's student-run radio station. 
 
 The Sandusky case, which tarnished the reputation of one of the most storied college football programs in the U.S. and stunned a nation where college sports are revered, led to the firing of longtime head football coach Joe Paterno, who died from lung cancer in January. 
 
 Penn State football under Paterno was built on the premise that it did things the right way, that it was not a football factory where only wins and losses determined success. All major college football programs try to send that message, but Penn State built its brand on it. 
 
 Along with Sandusky, prosecutors last year arrested two Penn State administrators and charged them with lying to the grand jury that investigated Sandusky and failing to properly report suspected abuse. Tim Curley, the athletic director on leave, and Gary Schultz, a retired vice president for business and finance, deny the charges and await trial. 
 
 The case also led to the ouster of university President Graham Spanier, who remains a faculty member. Eight legal teams that represent at least 20 victims or other potential civil claimants have surfaced, and Penn State has indicated its desire to settle claims out of court. 
 
 Amendola said he did not expect any others to speak on Sandusky's behalf, although friends and family members -- including his wife, Dottie -- have written letters of support. Dottie Sandusky plans to attend the hearing, he said. 
 
 Given the number of charges, the serious nature of his crimes and his age, the 68-year-old Sandusky faces the likelihood of a sentence that will send him to state prison for the rest of his life. 
 
 Sandusky was convicted for incidents that included some attacks inside Penn State athletic facilities. 
 
 "The important thing for us is, it starts the appellate process," Amendola said. 
 
 One element of the appeal is expected to be a claim that the defense did not have time to adequately prepare for trial. Sandusky was charged in November, following a lengthy investigation. 
 
 Tom Kline, lawyer for a young man who said Sandusky groped him in a shower when he was 12 or 13, said his client plans to read a statement Tuesday. 
 
 "He's going to tell the judge how this has affected him, how it's been painful and difficult," Kline said. 
 
 Lead prosecutor Joe McGettigan said as many as a half-dozen victims are expected to be heard. 
 
 The eight victims who testified against Sandusky at trial described abuse that ranged from grooming and fondling to oral and anal sex. Sandusky did not take the stand but gave interviews shortly after his arrest in which he declared he was not guilty. 
 
 Karl Rominger, another Sandusky defense lawyer, said the sentencing and a related proceeding to determine if Sandusky qualifies as a sexually violent predator under Pennsylvania's version of Megan's Law should take less than two hours. 
 
 Rominger said a 30-year minimum sentence - which would keep Sandusky behind bars at least until he's nearly 100 - was probably the most the defense could hope for. 
 
 Rominger said on WHP radio in Harrisburg, Pa. that Sandusky knows the judge could impose a longer sentence if Sandusky insists he is innocent, but some offenses carry mandatory minimums that are likely to translate into an effective life sentence. 
 
 "Why worry about the niceties of pleasing the court when it won't change your sentence?" Rominger said. 
 
 After Tuesday's sentencing hearing, Sandusky most likely would be sent to Camp Hill state prison. There, he would be tested and evaluated by Department of Corrections personnel, who will determine which institution he will be sent to. 
 
 Sandusky's Monday statement 
 
 The following is a transcript of what Sandusky said Monday on the Penn State radio station:
– Even as Penn State took down Joe Paterno's statue this morning, the NCAA is getting ready to levy "unprecedented" penalties against the university, an NCAA source tells CBS News. "I've never seen anything like it," the source says. The NCAA itself confirmed that "corrective and punitive measures" would be announced tomorrow morning, though it had no further details, notes the AP. NCAA President Mark Emmert recently hinted that the so-called "death penalty" is on the table for Penn State's storied football program, saying of the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal, "I've never seen anything as egregious." Paterno's family, meanwhile, said in a statement that taking down his statue "does not serve the victims of Jerry Sandusky's horrible crimes or help heal the Penn State Community."
