Accordng to the NCAA constitution wording, it left enough leeway for the NCAA to take action in this situation. As far as innocent people getting punished, it happens every time the NCAA takes action. There is always innocent victims, even in the case of recruiting violations. When Kentucky got in trouble, Reggie Hanson, Richie Farmer, Sean Woods, John Pelfrey, and Deron Feldhaus were all innocent victims. Most of the violating coaches move on to another job with no suspension or banishment, such as Eddie Sutton. As far as having an effect on wins and losses, UMASS and Calipari had to vacate wins in the mid nineties due to Camby signing with an agent his Senior year. This was to no benefit to UMASS or Coach Cal. Moral and ethical responsibility are both discussed in the NCAA constitution. Their primary responsibility is to enforce rules that effect the outcome of games, but it is not their only responsibility. I do think that most people believe that the NCAA got it right this time.
