seriously ... how much more "school" can you have involved?
or is it intent?
if the entire school didn't intend to cheat to win only Calipari intended to cheat to win?
and let's not just throw away the whole 'principal and example issue' some people just want to ignore

And seriously, how much punishment do you need to create before you say that's enough? If you look at this emotionally, there is no punishment good enough for the sick shit that they enabled. But legal punishments aren't built on emotion. They're built on rationality. And the punishments that are going to happen are extremely harsh and they absolutely will set an example. I can guarantee you Penn State is going to clean their compliance department up and over-comply from here on out. And I can guarantee you other Universities are taking note. And the amount of money and PR hit they'll take from this isn't small potatoes.
But again, from an "example" standpoint, it's laughable to believe that the death penalty sets an example to other college programs. All the death penalty says is that poor behavior isn't poor behavior unless you get caught. Teams are still going to cheat. They are still going to run shoddy compliance programs. The NCAA needs to stop trying to make examples of those they catch and instead work on getting more consistent enforcement of the rules. It makes a joke out of the system if a team like USC or Penn State is flagged for non-compliance when we basically know a program like Kentucky is probably breaking compliance issues left and right and getting away with it.
