There was also an instance where some student athletes held a car wash to earn money. They were required to reimburse who evers water they used.
You cant make up idiocy like this.

Here's some good thoughts on it from Ohio St football coach Urban Meyer: http://www.espn.com/college-football...ies-lying-ncaa
I like it. I also think that if that policy was adopted they should allow schools to void contracts with these coaches dismissed due to willful NCAA rules violations. Hit them in their pocket books since that's essentially what they're trying to stuff when they willfully violate the rules.Quote:
"If you intentionally lie about committing violations, your career is over," Meyer said during a call-in radio show on 97.1 The Fan in Columbus. "You're not suspended for two games (or) some of the silly penalties you have, you can't talk to a recruit for a week and a half or something like that. No. You're finished. That will clean up some things."

Meyer said he didn't fault the NCAA employees for not being able to root out those who undermine their attempts at amateurism because they aren't given strong enough consequences to compel coaches and others in the system to tell the truth. The coach said that players who are found to have lied to NCAA investigators are no longer allowed to play, and coaches should be held to the same standard when it comes to major violations and willful deception.
Difference with Penn St and this issue is Penn St was a bunch of sick people doing massive wrong things with kids. This deal is more about money and the competitive balance in the sport and it players. Not saying Penn St should have been hit harder but that was not a competition issue/money issue.
This is pretty much exactly what the death penalty was designed for. This wasn't some minor oversight. Especially Louisville, seeing as how they were doing this while they were already under sanctions for serious recruiting violations.
You could argue that Penn State did have an impact on the competitive balance because the institution not doing anything earlier allowed them to keep their coaching personal and reputation intact when but should've been blown up much earlier.
