Most of Baylor's problems seems to be surrounding the football player's sexual assaults. Perhaps all the stories about them has covered up and made me forget there maybe some particular recruiting type violations. So, here is my questions. What rules or regulations of the NCAA would be noted by the NCAA's letter of intent to investigate? Has the NCAA even done that? Are there NCAA rules that apply to criminal behavior by athletes? It seems to me the only thing the NCAA has, at this point, would fall under a the lack of institutional control unless the NCAA does have rules about criminal behavior. The following quotation comes from a judge during the 1952 Kentucky Basketball point shaving scandal and certainly fits under the institutional control thinking. "Rupp and the university were criticized by the presiding judge, Saul Streit, for creating an atmosphere for the violations to occur and for "failing in his duty to observe the amateur rules, to build character, and to protect the morals and health of his charges"
If so, it would seem to me that all the stuff at Baylor would be floating near the Institutional control idea rather than any particular rule violations. Both look to be under the cloud of the death penalty. NC's because it involves what I would consider one of the most unforgivable type problems for the NCAA and that being the academic violations at a university. From all the media stories about NC it seems clear violations of NCAA rules are there. Baylor's NCAA athletic rule violations seems less clear but certainly fall under the lack of institutional control over the AD.
