Now, in Snaq's defense, the NCAA actually does use this standard vs. what we do as officials during a game. This was demonstrated quite clearly back when there was an investigation started against IL back when Bruce Pearl was an assistant coach at IA under Tom Davis. He used an illegal wiretap to tape a conversation with Deon Thomas, who was being recruited by both schools, but ended up choosing IL. The investigation ended up finding no official major violations by IL, but the NCAA still invoked major sanctions because the lead investigator, Mike Slive, said even though there were no major infractions that could be proven, there was enough circumstantial evidence that "something" had to have happened.
Hmm, maybe this is a way to get around killing a bunch of trees by writing out all the rules, but rather we can write them as we go along. I'm starting to feel warm and fuzzy again...
