Thanks for the clarification BadNewsRef. I thought it was instituted because of Donaghy. I was not aware of that is was effect before hand.

The NCAA has been dealing with betting issues long before that case even was known by the public. Remember the NCAA had betting scandals with Northwestern, Arizona St. and Boston College before Donaghy.
