I'm not sure what your point is.  Whatever it is, it must rest on your narrow definition of "proof."

The NCAA can't just hand out six, seven, and eight figure fines and other assorted penalties based on suspicion and innuendo.  [URL='http://www.ncaa.org/about/frequently-asked-questions-about-ncaa']They have to show something.  I mean, hell, it's right there in their FAQ:[/URL]

It stands to reason that not all found or suspected violations met a standard of proof and didn't make the final report.  I don't think everything at Syracuse that pushed and/or broke rules made it into the report and I think that other schools (Alabama, UK, KU, Duke, etc) are better at concealing their transgressions than Syracuse was.

I didn't write anything of the sort.  And if you think that SU runs a squeaky clean D1 program and does nothing wrong, then you're incredibly naive.

Ultimately, there are two things going on here and they are separate issues.  The FBI investigation is one and then there will be the pending NCAA investigations.  I think the FBI investigations will be limited in scope and focus on criminal wrongdoing with airtight evidence.  The NCAA ones will be wider ranging, but good head coaches have good firewalls that insulate the seedier activities from the school.  I don't think enough will be found to make much of a difference.  These people know how their bread is buttered.
