NCAA Considering Stiffer Penalties (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/football/ncaa/12/24/ncaa-penalty-reform.ap/index.html#ixzz19APZ1G8C)
Clarified penalties for repeat offenders. The "death penalty" - a program-crippling blow that keeps a team off the field while banning recruiting and scholarship awards - has been on the books for 25 years but applied only once, to Southern Methodist for a pay-for-play football scandal in 1987.
Repeat violators are defined as schools that run afoul of the NCAA more than once every five years. An Associated Press review of major infractions cases shows that schools listed as repeat offenders have avoided the death penalty at least 70 times since the rule was adopted.
The list of offenders covers 55 schools, including 14 that avoided the death penalty more than once - from Alabama and Baylor to Austin Peay and Oklahoma State.
