The world of NCAA recruiting

If said coach agrees not to coach for X years based on the severity of the incident then a school can hire him after that time with no penalty.

Old school gets fine or whatever penalty. Coach gets his punishment. Hiring school is on notice as they know what they are getting. Current players don't suffer.

Agreed. That's why I suggested the coach's penalty would only follow him for as long as the guilty school suffered its penalty.

Ok, so what specific number of years goes with what specific action? What level of proof is needed to justify a penalty? Iow, do you use a "civil suit" level of proof, or a "beyond a reasonable doubt" level? Who gets to decide? Are there different levels of penalties for different levels of proof? Do you assign a penalty based on the ever-popular NCAA "lack of institutional control"? Can a coach be released from his penalty earlier, much like an early release from prison, for good behavior? Since we are now talking about the ability of denying a coach the right to employment in their chosen profession, there may be civil rights issues that need to be addressed in these regulations.

So many questions, so many trees to kill in preparing the actual regulations...

Ok, I'm back in full "party-pooper" mood.

All good points. As in any "crime" each case would be decided on the evidence. No two cases exactly alike. Think of how some of our favorite multiple offenders would get handled.....
