Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany commends Penn State five years after NCAA sanctions

CHICAGO

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany believes that Penn State is “on the other side” of a difficult journey five years after the NCAA and conference levied unprecedented sanctions on the program as a result of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.

“I think the university is one of the great ones in the country. I think the culture’s one of the great ones in the country,” Delany said Monday afternoon at Big Ten media days. “I don’t think anyone forgets about the victims or the circumstances that hurt a lot of people. It’s been a tough road to go, but I think we’re on the other side.
