While Shaw certainly is correct that the institutions themselves should be fined if proven to be cheaters, how exactly does he propose that proof get collected?

The only reason the college hoops fiasco came to light is because the FBI uses things like subpoenas and wire taps. So while it sounds great to say "let's fine the schools when they are guilty of cheating," no school is going to agree to pay a fine unless there is iron-clad evidence against it that the NCAA has no power to collect.

Stanford, as an institution isn't going to spend any time worrying about cheating that goes on at other programs because Stanford doesn't get impacted by it much if at all, and because Stanford just doesn't care anyway.  And the schools that do cheat, they aren't going to want more enforcement.  So??????
