A Wall Street Journal article that was released on Tuesday afternoon is reporting that the NCAA has informed Baylor that it will not be facing "sweeping sanctions" as fallout from the ongoing investigation into how the university handled reported cases of sexual assault. The article specifically references the penalties that were handed down to Penn State in 2012 in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, in which Penn State was handed a four year bowl ban and significant scholarship reductions along with a few other severe penalties. It should be noted that the NCAA later rescinded many of these penalties as they were roundly panned for overstepping their boundaries and were challenged in court.
