The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette now calls it $171 MM:

"The new sum, which reflects the university's cost as of Aug. 31, of $51,792,125 for lawyers, consultants and other crisis help is about $1.3 million more than a month ago, the last time Penn State updated those costs.

The tally includes the first $12 million fine installment paid to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, but is not a universal reflection of the scandal's total financial impact.

It does not include the remaining $48 million in fines still due the NCAA, the $59.7 million in civil settlements paid to 26 child victims of Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach now in prison, or the $13 million in bowl revenue stripped away from the university.

Once those are included, it brings the total financial impact acknowledged by Penn State so far to approximately $171.5 million."

It has been five years. I do not hear much of it.

Interestingly, Baylor did not get as much attention as Penn State.
