STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A new NCAA task force will come up with guidelines for how to distribute the record $60 million fine that Penn State has agreed to pay in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. The money will fund programs designed to combat child sexual abuse and help victims around the country. The 10-member task force was announced today. The group will set policy and hire a third-party administrator who will choose which nonprofit groups receive the money each year.

The members of the task force are: Tim White, chancellor of University of California, Riverside, chairman Nan Crouter, dean of the College of Health and Human Development at Penn State Rita Hartung Cheng, chancellor of Southern Illinois University Carbondale Craig Hillemeier, vice dean for clinical affairs at Penn State College of Medicine Brian Gallagher, president and CEO of United Way Worldwide Jane Lowe, team director of Vulnerable Populations Portfolio, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Harris Pastides, president, University of South Carolina Bryan Samuels, commissioner of the Administration on Children, Youth and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pamela Shifman, director, Initiatives for Girls and Women, NoVo Foundation Raymond Torres, vice president of the Annie E.
