Let's see, SU got 5 years probation, a post-season ban (self-imposed, probably wouldn't have made the NCAA's anyway), loss of 2 scholarships for four years (ultimately reduced from 8 to 5 upon appeal, based on credit for 3 unused scholarships), restrictions on recruiting staff for two years, a 9-game suspension of the head coach (for the same L-1 'failure to monitor') and vacature of more than 100 wins ... all for + marijuana tests (which aren't even reported at most SEC or B1G schools), a few thousand dollars in YMCA referee pay and a footnote added by a grad assistant to the test of a player who spoke Portuguese. These were violations. But once again, for far worse violations - including a $40,000 bag delivered to a recruit by an AC - NC-State got 1 year probation for the head coach, no head-coach suspension, no post-season ban, vacature of an unspecified number of wins (depending on how they finesse that), reduction of scholarships by 1 each for this year and next year, and a 2 week staff restriction. If this isn't a hideous double standard in the penalty process, I'm not sure what one looks like (although we all know how the NCAA rolls).
