The NCAA should consider the death penalty for Baylor, or risk becoming an organization of human jellyfish. The NCAA does not like large publicized cases of sweeping institutional wrongdoing, complicated by law enforcement, and massive civil lawsuits. Presumably because the death penalty is difficult to contemplate when major college football revenue is more than $3.4 billion. But if the NCAA declines to inflict its most severe consequence on major schools purely because it fears the financial fallout, then it will have put itself to death. .”There were so many repeated breaches of conduct, by so many officials at so many levels at Baylor, that the school’s football program was unrecognizable as anything belonging at a college.
