Spanier was fired in November 2011 when the scandal broke, and was charged last week with obstruction of justice, conspiracy, endangering the welfare of children, failure to report a crime and perjury. He had been Penn State's president for about 16 years.
District Judge William Wenner set his bail at $125,000 unsecured -- meaning he won't have to pay any unless he fails to show up for future court dates -- and the judge ordered that Spanier not leave the state of Pennsylvania without permission.
Spanier, former athletic director Tim Curley and ex-Vice President Gary Schultz all face charges stemming from the Sandusky scandal. Curley and Schultz were arraigned Friday.
