The fact that if a coach is fired with just cause, he gets nearly 85% of this future salary. And you wonder why this stiff goes one...no one is in the poor house when they get caught.

I think the solution will be clauses inserted in their contracts nullifying all guarantees in the event of recruiting violations etc. Mike Greenberg used to talk about this subject on mike and mike regarding the student athletes and I loved his opinion. He said put a stipulation in the scholarship contracts that if they are found to have taken any money or other illegal benefits as stated by the NCAA, that they will then be responsible for paying back tuition fees in full. This was in reference to the Reggie bush situation at USC where he gets away with no consequences and leaves the school taking the fall. This system would atleast hit the parties responsible and not the current students who had nothing to do with it. It’s completely unrealistic and never going to happen but I always liked his take on it.
