NCAA could fix most of these problems by going back to no freshmen playing varsity.
Because they were paying Bowen's father 9 weeks AFTER they got their title stripped, that type of balls, I think they deserve to have the program shut down. If the NCAA allows programs that dirty to continually have major rules violations without giving them the SMU treatment, then there should not be an NCAA, schools should be able to do whatever they want. For the NCAA to prove its not a sham it needs to hand out the death penalty and put other programs on notice that this type of behavior cannot continue to run rampant at big programs.
just send Wellman over there

Would work even better if NBA and players association would change minimum age and time post high school rules.
If the NCAA issues harsh sanctions they risk being sued and they know they'll probably lose.
Sued for what?
Just about anything. Penn State sued the NCAA over a fine. Do you think UNC wouldn't have sued the NCAA over jurisdictional authority if they had brought the hammer down on football and basketball ? There's too much money at stake to just shrug your shoulders and accept a penalty.
Part of the Penn State suit had to do with the issue of whether or not NCAA rules covered the issue for which the NCAA fined Penn State. There isn't that kind of ambiguity in the Louisville situation.
