I disagree that the failure to observe this policy is the definition of "lack of institutional control". I think that concept is attached to a situation that leads to NCAA rules violations.
 
I don't believe that we have committed NCAA rules violations by allowing players that tested positive to play. In fact, as I understand it, a big part of the problem, is that the NCAA doesn't really take a position on what should happen to players that are found to be using drugs....rather it only takes a position on what should happen to players that test positive on the NCAA administered drug testing...which our players did not do.
 
Internal policies should be followed, or they should be eliminated.      But antiquated policies exist, and are ignored, in every organization.     I think the organization can make a collective decision to ignore its own policy, just as it can make the decision to modify its own policy.     The only way I see this being a problem is if the policy was one that the AD endorsed but JB figured out a way to ignore/get around or one that the larger University itself implemented and felt was important, but the Athletic Department figured out a way to ignore/get around.
