You would think Jerry Sandusky's big concern these days would be surviving prison.

But Wednesday, Sandusky's attorney revealed his client is really distraught over the recent NCAA sanctions.

Amendola still says his client is innocent.  But in an interview with the Centre Daily News it seems the former linebacker coach is more concerned with how the sanctions are affecting football and the school.

Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts of child sex abuse.  Wednesday, his attorney Joe Amendola said after hearing about the sanctions Sandusky took it hard.

In an interview with the Centre Daily News, Amendola described what Sandusky said he was feeling after learning the NCAA imposed a multi-year bowl ban, invalidated 112 wins, fined the school $60 million and took away future scholarships.

"He's extremely distraught about what's happened at Penn State," Amendola relayed from Sandusky.  He never dreamed that anything he was accused of doing would have this type of impact on Penn State, not only athletics, but the university as a whole."

"To do what they are doing is so unjust," Sandusky told his attorney.

Amendola also shed some light on what Sandusky is doing in prison.  He is requesting to get out of solitary confinement, and he's working on what he will say at his sentencing in September.
