The disconnect between the summary of infractions and the punishment is so comically not even close that yes it's more than likely other things and Influences were at play here

Reggie Bush and USC must be fuming right now.
They took away his Heisman, took away two complete seasons, a National Championship, gave them a two year bowl ban and a loss of scholarships.
Not that what happened at SC was okay, it was definitely against NCAA rules, but look at the stark difference here.
And one of the main reasons cited at the time was SCs refusal to cooperate.
Excuse me!?!
I'm beside myself with rage.
We didn't give them a bowl ban because it would unfairly affect the kids currently in the program. WTF!?!
How about the kids at OSU, MSU, Iowa, Ped State and Wisconsin et al that were "affected" by *ichigan's cheating them out of victories on the field!?!
They almost certainly cost C J Stroud a Heisman, cost Ohio State at least two Big10 Championships and God only knows what else.
This is beyond the pale...

If you are going to penalize someone for not following the rules the minimum the penalty should do is discourage breaking those rules in the future.
This punishment fails miserably.

The NCAA has outed themselves as Deadwood. It's the wild west and they aren't going to get their hands dirty enforcing anything.

Summary of NCAA ruling:
Fork over 20 million bucks and we be good.
The NCAA needs to be abolished immediately.

The big money brokers who associate with scUM have probably already pooled together to donate to pay the fine.
