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."

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).
