If they had, the NCAA would look the other way – as they seem to have done with the University of North Carolina – because the offense would have been university-wide. If it’s not restricted to athletes – if it’s official campus-wide crapulousness – then the NCAA says fine, fine. Some schools don’t hire pimps to set up whorehouses in their dormitories, and some do. Some schools don’t steal their students’ education, and some do. It’s all part of the rich texture which makes up the tapestry of American university education.
(Haredi or halfback, you can now go to court and sue a school, a state, or the NCAA for having been deprived of an education.)

with all of this press I’m going to guess that recruits at the schools that don’t offer such perks will be more demanding…

If the NCAA won’t do it, I wish SACS would hammer UNC. If an accrediting body won’t do it, what purpose do they serve? Meanwhile my institution will sweat the inane accreditation process, which reminds me of Jerry Tarkanian’s spot-on joke about the NCAA being so angry at Kentucky they are adding another year to Cleveland State’s sanctions.
