Going after the president and AD's isn't an option, the NCAA has no ability to personally fine people. Going after the instiution is the only option, and it indirectly goes after the presidents and DA's in that it effects the bottom line, which is certainly going to impact the job security of the people in the oversight roles.

Quite aware of all that...thanks.

A two year bowl ban is in essence just a huge financial penalty that doesn't really affect they players.
How does it not affect the players? Thats when they are seen at the highest level of competition in an effort to possibly be seen as able to play pro. Its a big deal for all players in the NCAA to play bowl games...and they are getting punished for something they didnt have anything to do with. Kind of goofy if you ask me.
