You have to actually read the article. The author's point is a good one. If the NCAA crushes Miami's football program, it makes it more likely that the "Big 64" colleges (Big Ten, Pac 10, SEC, Big East and a handful from the Big 12) will withdraw from the NCAA and form their own governing body.
Every AD at any major school in the country is worried about similar violations at his own school. He's worried that if his school gets caught and slapped with a death penalty, it will be the end not only of his job, but of the athletic department at a major university. But if the Big 64 can leave the NCAA, write their own rules and regulations and then take all the money from the TV contracts, what's not to like about that if you're one of those schools?
I think a College Football "Premier League" is inevitable.
