UNC case shows how reward still outweighs risk for cheating

Posted Mar 12, 2012
The decision to break NCAA rules is a pure risk/reward calculation.

As long as that program cooperates with the NCAA during the investigation of its alleged "crimes," the Committee on Infractions will respond with penalties that contain far more bark than bite.
