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.

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.
