Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1650547, member: 40"] I kicked this idea around when we got hammered by the NCAA. Financial penalties / fines make a lot of sense to me. But the more I thought about it, the more clear it became that even despite fines, that it would just make it easier for certain schools to cheat indiscriminantly. Imagine what UK would do if they didn't have to fear NCAA postseason bans--they'd break every rule and just pay the fines. And they aren't alone. So ultimately, while financial penalties wouldn't punish the innocent [as you describe], I don't think they'd be much of a deterrent, either. [/QUOTE]
