Why isn't there any talk of institutions KNOWN for turning a blind eye to cheating, like USC, receiving the "death penalty" from the NCAA?

The problem is, most of the stuff that goes down is beyond the control of the head coach or the school. You can't control what your players are doing behind your back. Kids cheat. When you take kids out of the ghetto and shove money at them, they are going to take it.

In the caase of USC it seems the AD was out of control too so they had to clean house.

These penalties can hurt the programs for years too. SMU was anational power and all these years later theyre still nothing. other teams that have been sanctioned can take several years to recover. Esp if they get dinged on how many scholar ships they can offer.
