1) Because the NCAA had actual proof in this instance.
2) It was a second offense by the same head coach.
3) The punishment ruling was based on the sum collection of a bunch of ticky-tacky things that demonstrated a pattern of "lack of institutional control".

Another important thing to point out here: [B]It is not in the NCAA's best interest to showcase its product as being a gigantic collection of massive cheaters. [/B]

My understanding is that the NCAA often 'softens' the officially released reports to minimize overall damage to the brand (both the school in question and the overarching institution of the NCAA itself). In many instances there are other things that are uncovered that never make it into the official report. There is usually a meeting between university representatives and the NCAA prior to official release where both parties agree on what will be made public. Damage control, basically. I'm [U]no[/U]t specifically saying that SU committed other violations that were not revealed, but I know that this has happened in the past with other institutions (for example I have heard that there was stuff left out of the Calipari/Memphis reports).
