but I think the payments, going over minutes in recruit calls, extended practice hours, etc violate the spirit of the competitive advantage rules that led to those type of penalties such as death penalty. Sandusky just seems like a different problem.

Besides ever since the DP crushed the SMU program to the point where they haven't had a winning season until just a few years ago, NCAA has been very reluctant to ever use it again. I don't think they've used the DP since.
