How the NCAA can effectively "punish" schools...

I say this partiall in jest...but if the NCAA wanted to pretend that they cared about the rehabilitation of student athletes and athletic programs that violate NCAA policy, they ought to "punish" these schools by instituting a probationary period in which they are required to actively maintain and uphold an honor code for student athletes akin to the BYU honor code. This will effectively impact recruiting, encourage athletes to be more cognizant of their actions and the potential negative impacts it may have, create an environment of self-policing wherein the AD does not just look the other way and provide incentive for coaches to be more in tune with the daily lives of their players in a positive way.
 


It's a very tangled mess. Top tier high school athletes have got so many hangers-on whispering in their ears nowadays. AAU coaches, mentors, advisors, agents, entourages, etc. It seems that none of them have the kids themselves in mind and only care about how they can get some coin for themselves.
What is the coach to do? At a top school, they must win or they'll be fired. So they have to look the other way. But if they look the other way and get caught they'll also be fired.
I wish I knew how to clean it up, and I hope that someone else does. Soon.
 


If they are fired, the coaches just go to another school and soon are back at the BCS level.

The NCAAS HAS to hammer schools like osu to be an effective ruler.

A school like osu SHOULD get as close to the death penalty as possible.

About 15 scholarships per year should be taken away (with no oversigning like the SEC does). If the school only needs 10 scholarships to fulfill the 85 limit, they simply would be unable to recruit that year and in fact would have to take away 5 scholarships from the present roster. The next year, the school would also lose 15 scholarships but would only be able to fulfill a roster of 70. The next year, less and so on until the 5 years are up.
The entire coaching staff is fired and are unable to get jobs at the BCS level or with the NFL the rest of their careers.
I like the idea of players having to take oaths like BYU. That would not hamper many state of ohio kids but it would hamper many others. Add on that if a player gets caught cheating, that player would be unable to play football at the BCS level again.
The school should be put on probation for 5 years--that is a cut of about 50 to 60 scholarships with NO walkons...THAT would hurt.

Would that send a message...???

How in the hell would the NCAA stop a coach from getting a job in the NFL? I stopped reading after that.
 


While I think your on the right track, I think the BYU thing is going way to far. Telling that many athletes that they can't have sex during the course of their 4 years at any school would be a deal breaker. They need discipline in my opinion BYU crosses the line.
 


Signing an oath of honor or whatever is stupid. I'd imagine that something Terrelle Pryor signed said that he understood what the NCAA rules were, and it didn't stop him from breaking them.
 


$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Money is what drives these college f-ball. If they really wanted to punish schools, make them pay back the money that they generated, like from bowl appearances etc. or a pay a heafty fine. If it happens a couple times, they might be inclined to play a little cleaner.
