Investigators can now use circumstantial evidence (like a tip or news story) instead of on-record sourcing to presume a school violated NCAA rules. Schools can disprove the allegation or else be potentially charged. The move strengthens the enforcement staff’s ability to charge schools and allows more leeway for investigators.

Isn't that similar to the burden of proof used in the Salem witch trials?  Gives a pretty strong incentive for rivals to surreptitiously generate fake news.
