You know, I hate to think that there is some sort of NCAA favoritism going on here, BUT....
The infractions against Boise State, including the "major violation"--a women's tennis player played in a match before being officially enrolled--and they get "lack of institutional control" slapped on them. Meanwhile in the SEC, a high-profile player's father was pretty much caught red-handed seeking 6-figure paydays for his son, and...nothing.

I will continue to wonder what "lack of institutional control" means until we hear what the NCAA says is going on in Columbus, Ohio.

There's an old line attributed to various sources but it goes something like this
"the NCAA is so mad at Kentucky, it will probably slap another two years' probation on Cleveland State."

Re: Boise St. players got cheap and high quality stuff
Could there actually be some malice involved here by the NCAA, since Boise State threatens to really embarrass the BCS system some day (not that the system needs any help).
