Other than the show cause that is becoming a more popular punishment for NCAA violations the rest of them affect of the penalties have the potential to affect student athletes who had no part of the violation.
Bowl bans punish innocent players. Penn State, Alabama and other schools have simply scheduled exotic regular season games in Ireland or Hawaii in lieu of the ban.
Scholarship reductions are less opportunities for students to go to their chosen institution or can cause schools to "cut" more older players in order to recruit their normal amount.
Therefore, I propose that along with EVERY NCAA probation should be an open transfer that allows players to transfer to any school outside of their conference in the first year at of probation.
Think about it. The reason that boosters pay money is because they want the best players at their school. As it stands there is no way to punish boosters. They will go to all lengths to make sure their school has the best players. So if being on probation guaranteed that all of those coveted (and paid) players were then open to leave the school MIGHT be a penalty harsh enough to stop SOME cheating.
For instance the booster is trying to convince a 5 star RB to come to the school but when caught the benched QB who was waiting their turn decides to leave and go to another school. Not only him but ten other guys left the team. Finally the cost of cheating would surpass the rewards.
