Acquires, as a penalty (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incurs

(Other definitions for incurs that I've seen before include "Provokes" , "Becomes liable (to) - suffers" , "Brings on oneself, maybe something unpleasant" , "Brings upon oneself" , "Brings on oneself as consequence" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
