[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 315738, member: 2426"] The NCAA "Lack of Institutional Control" findings are based on controls to abide by NCAA rules. It isn't a catch-all phrase for anything that the NCAA or the public in general doesn't like. If a school does not have a procedure to instruct boosters, monitor athlete employment, or report violations, the NCAA can charge a school with this. If a school fails to follow the procedures that they have in place, then the NCAA can charge with this. In the Penn State case, I don't know of anything that happened that would have broken any NCAA rules. Laws were definitely broken by Sandusky, and by the administrators and coaches that didn't report the offenses to legal authorities as required by law in Pennsylvania. In my opinion, three months in prison is nowhere near enough penalty for basically hiding this conduct and thereby allowing it to continue. In my opinion, no athletics based rules were broken and the athletics program shouldn't be punished by athletics bodies(I would not have had any issue with the Big10 evicting them to disassociate themselves). However, the individual people who allowed this activity to continue should spend a very long time in prison. In the cases of Louisville and Baylor, a case could be made that recruiting and/or impermissible benefits violations occurred. In the Louisville case, it is quite possible that some of the athletics staff should have been charged with crimes. In the Baylor case, I would say some of them should have definitely been charged with crimes and sent to prison. [/QUOTE]
