Yes, but the NCAA has made allowances for that. If another school was interested in a Penn State player (and the player was also interested in that other school), that school could exceed its allotted number of scholarships to make room for the Penn State guy. The school would have to make up for that overage next year, but for schools that may not have much depth in a particular position, it might very well be worth it.
From what I gather from reading other coaches reactions, many are evaluating their teams depth chart and looking at the Penn State roster to see if there's a player who could help them out. ETA: Meaning, even though the teams are already together and scholarships assigned, there will still be opportunities for Penn State players to get some meaningful playing time.
