Dive Summary:

• Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett detailed complaints Wednesday that appear in a federal antitrust lawsuit being filed against the NCAA over sanctions imposed on Penn State University last year.
• Corbett called the sanctions, issued as a result of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal, "harsh" and accused the NCAA of benefiting from the penalties, which included a $60 million fine.
• The NCAA responded by issuing a statement, saying the suit is without merit and calling it an "affront" to Sandusky's victims.
