So you will get a cycle of ticky tacky violations. See a kid on the wrong day or call wrong day, minor crap.
Then word gets around and assumption is someone is going way over the line.
Finally someone figures them SOB's are cheating I have to as well and we get into improper benefit territory.
Now someone else is a cheating SOB so if they are doing it we gotta.

Eventually some assistant gets pissed or some athlete gets pissed and then the whole house of cards comes crumbling down with people flipping others right and left.

League finally takes a law and order mindset and everything rolls along smoothly until the process repeats.

Remember Mike Slive was hired by the SEC for his enforcement chops because the SEC had just emerged from such a cycle.

Saw several articles, including a quote by him, saying one of the most important things he did was to get the SEC schools to quit reporting each other. That is a pretty sad legacy.

In other news...the SEC simultaneously rose to the top of college football at the end of Slive's tenure.

But that's just because of the hot weather and pretty girls, right?

Well, they certainly weren't coming for the little boys.

Or the showers!

I'm no Ohio State fan. Not at all.

But you gotta admit that they got hit for some pretty ticky-tacky stuff. Free tatoos? Really? When I saw their punishment, in my mind it completely disproved the whole "only small schools get punished by the NCAA" paradigm.

They got nailed because Tressel tried to cover it up.
