While I appreciate the sentiment, and on one level I agree, I just don't think it will logistically work. For example, if it's not right that the current USC players have to pay for Tim Floyd's transgressions, it almost seems more wrong that UTEP's players would have to pay, simply because they have a new coach. And, how do you separate penalties that occur from actions by an assistant coach, administrator, or booster? If the NCAA imposes sanctions because a booster provided benefits to players, and the perhaps the coach gets fired or resigns because the school feels "they should've known what was going on", would you say those same penalties follow that coach as if they had provided the benefits themselves?
Sorry, I'm just in a "party-pooper" mood.
