But that is the root of the NCAA's problem - that they are not consistent across institutions and similar violations.

I don't think there is any evidence that the fraudulent classes were created specifically for athletes (possibly at any of the schools), but there certainly were athletes that took advantage of them.  The other cases cited of classes tailored specifically for athletes doesn't claim that they were fraudulent - and given that athletes are admitted to colleges that don't belong there, educationally - I'd have to know a lot more before condemning this practice across the board.

My issues - did the school (at any level) knowingly funnel students to what they knew was a fraudulent class (as opposed to an "easy A", even my very respectable GPA self took 1 or 2 "easy A's") and secondly, how did they treat the "whistle-blowers"?  Regardless of the NCAA actions, those 2 factors are, at least to me, the only 2 that really matter.
