Message: [QUOTE="Earls & Kings, post: 2212436, member: 7364"] I went searching the NCA website for the maximum NCAA punishment for use of ineligible players. All I've found is the minimum punishment of forfeiting all games in which ineligible players were used. I believe I stumbled onto what appears to be the basis of the UNC issues....copied below. If I read it correctly, even if academics is the purview of the accrediting body, all instances involving the participation of a staff member must be reported to the NCAA. So the NCAA does have jurisdiction... this is not a get out of jail free card. I also found a handful of instances where the NCAA meted out the Death Penalty, banning teams from playing a sport for one year. Again, I couldn't find an upper limit for punishment.

The Council approved an interpretation that clarifies the membership’s position that it is a school’s responsibility to decide whether or not misconduct involving current or future student-athletes or school staff has occurred and, if it has, to make sure the case is handled according to policies applicable to all students. “This clarification of the current rules is a first step toward a broader membership discussion of academic misconduct that will occur in the new governance structure,” said Kevin Lennon, vice president of academic and membership affairs. The Legislative Council also confirmed that schools that determine academic misconduct has occurred must report it to the NCAA when: [LIST] [*]a staff member is involved in arranging for false credit or transcripts for a student-athlete or future student-athlete; [*]a student-athlete or prospect is involved in arranging for false credit or transcripts; or [*]a student-athlete competes while ineligible as the result of academic misconduct. [/LIST] Other academic offenses by student-athletes (cheating on a test, plagiarizing on a paper) do not need to be reported if the cheating doesn’t result in a student-athlete getting a grade he or she didn’t earn that makes him or her fraudulently eligible to compete. However, all cases must follow the same academic policies the school has for all its students." [/QUOTE]
