When someone frames an argument by stating that you must accept his premise in order to have an intelligent opinion, then he is by extension calling anyone who disagrees with him unintelligent.
To quote the author:
"That’s the second thing you must understand to have an intelligent opinion about this stuff."
So here's my unintelligent response.  The NCAA has punished many of it's members for far lesser offenses and didn't need to cite specific bylaws other than lack of institutional controls.  They chose not to punish UNC because, 1. It's UNC and 2. they are cowards.
While there is merit to the idea that the NCAA does not belong in the business of judging academic standards, what UNC did is so egregious, so undermines the the ideals of college athletics that it requires punishment.  It is unfortunately not surprising that the NCAA took the easy way out by framing it as a legal issue, essentially saying they had no jurisdiction in the matter.  Perhaps that is so, but it never stopped them before.
