Bingo. Fucking with grades--behind the backs of the academic administration, no less--is the worst thing you could do, other than maybe blatently paying players.

I think it's pretty easy to see that larger more prominent sports universities (USC, Ohio State, Texas, etc.) are breaking the exact same, if not more, number of rules. But the NCAA is all about the money, and if USC goes down the tank (god forbid!), then the NCAA is a monster and cruel.
But if they ruin Alabama State, they're staying true to the rules that they set... but it's Alabama freaking State and 7 people are upset.
It's just bullshit.
The NCAA needs to make it clear or not clear - if you cheat, will you be punished? It can't have a sliding scale for how much money that particular school gets.
It's just like the NBA playoffs this year. Some of the roughest fouls I've seen in the post season. There were suspensions last year, but now that it could be Boston Los Angeles in the championship, you can bet that there won't be even a whisper of a suspension for either of those two teams.

If the NCAA has evidence of top schools changing grades, they will go after them. The top schools all have enough major violation reports in their history that its difficult to claim the NCAA doesn't punish the big dogs.

And the death penalty is not the right way to go. Why punish the kids as well? Better to force the institutions to fire the wrongdoers.

Because they can't. The NCAA has zero control over who institutions hire.

Few penalties they can levy on the school will fail to have some negative effect on the kids. Postseason bans? Forfeited wins? Somehow, they'll pay too. It need not be so bad....the NCAA has in the past allowed players to transfer without the usual one-year sitdown period as a one-time special case. They did that for Alabama when they were hit with those relatively severe penalties a few years back. I think if Alabama State were hit with the death penalty, the NCAA would do that here too.
