As a long-time college sports fan, I have always wondered if there is a better way to penalize NCAA teams that get caught cheating. It just doesn't seem right to me to kill off a school's chances of being competitive for X number of years when, in most cases, those who did the cheating have already left the program. I have a lot of answers for the various problems in college sports, but solving this one with good balance has always eluded me. Do any of my fellow /sp/artans have a proposal?

in b4 butthurt...I went to a DIII school (La Verne, lol) and have no direct interest in any big-time school's troubles.

The NCAA's current leadership has no incentive to penalize top-level teams. Note that every time sanctions come down, they are hardest on mid-major teams that threaten the hegemony of the BCS programs. Never mind that corruption at schools like Ohio State and Alabama runs rampant. The NCAA, by hiring a Big Ten president as its leader, is going through what MLB went through by hiring an owner as commissioner -- a blind eye to rules violations across the board.

True and factual statement is true and factual, Anon. To get at what I'm really looking for, perhaps I should add to my question that it is more of a "fantasy." As a prime example, I think we all have proposals to better determine a champion in major college football even though there's a snowball's chance in hell of any of them being implemented. Maybe there isn't a better way to penalize schools for their serious infractions. Despite its failings, /sp/ can still be an imaginative place at times, so I thought I'd give the question a shot here.
