This is what makes the NCAA so hard to understand. Obviously they see something they deemed illegal. OK fine. Happens all the time. This punishment is just so hard to understand though. None of the coaches nor players that committed these infractions are even there anymore. Only the kids who committed long before any of this stuff was to be announced. It maybe the single stupidest punishment system in North America. |
It's about punishing the institution that's in charge of overseeing the people who committed the violations. There's no way to punish the particular people when they no longer have ties to the NCAA, so you go after the entity that was responsible for their actions. It's no different than fines being imposed against a corporation for the illegal actions of a few employees. University's have a duty to watch over their employees, if they don't do a good job of it they pay for it. It's a more effective system than trying to hold the individuals accountable when they can simply walk off to greener pastures.
