The answer is loss if institutional control and also ethics/criminal issues. You have to agree that when a coach is anally raping boys there is a loss of institutional control, especially when the head coach knows about it and does nothing to fix or report it to authorities.

I can agree with this...it's a clear institutional control issue. I think the argument is that the NCAA's punishment should've been consistent with other institutional control issues. Once they put themselves out there, now the issue of softening that judgment hurts their credibility. We are rapidly approaching the day when the NCAA becomes completely irrelevant.
