Give me a break.  "Out of Bounds" outlined something like 150 allegations, and ultimately the NCAA penalized SU for only a small handful [~10].  And the vast majority of those alleged "infractions" were asinine, small time stuff.  Even the Bill Rapp / $50 christmas card stuff was fairly small time.
 
We got hit with a penalty--the year probation from participation in the NCAA tournament--basically because the NCAA investigated us for nearly a year and a half, and because we were one of the first major programs to face this type of scrutiny.  Since that time, there have been MANY programs that have faced NCAA investigations that have gotten slapped on the wrist for more serious infractions.  Think about that for a second.
 
It is also important to note that in the aftermath of that scandal, SU was one of the early adopters of a compliance office, and that there are numerous instances of things that our hoops program has not tolerated that would get swept under the rug at other institutions.
 
On the scale of programs that break and bend the rules, we rate pretty low.
