Everyone has a compliance department that is able to either steer coaches away from violations, minimize them if they happen and do damage control if they get caught. Ohio State's is pretty massive. My guess is Prairie View A&M's is not. At the high school level, where I coach, you wouldn't believe the number of coaches who have no clue of the state association rules on stuff as simple as the number of quarters you can play in a season or how/how often you can work out in the off-season. A coach at a low-budget SWAC school won't have a compliance officer looking over his shoulder telling him not to send any more text messages to recruits quite like a coach at an SEC or Big Ten school would.

I covered a pair of smaller Div I schools in Florida and both had compliance officers. In fact I would guess it's just the opposite, that a small school coach would be more willing to listen to his compliance officer than a coach getting paid millions with the expectation of winning now.

I think the opposite is true. Small sport coaches, especially ones like tennis where they recruit a lot of international athletes, are more likely to break the rules because they figure nobody is paying attention.

That's pretty much what went down in the recent NY Times (?) story on Title IX compliance.. It was a lot small sport coaches.

I think we're talking about two different things here. Yeah, a non-revenue sport coach at a Big East or SEC school is going to think no one's looking. I'm talking about football and basketball coaches at the lower rungs of Div I. They aren't at that stage in their careers where they expect to be treated like little gods and their players aren't big enough to be expecting preferential treatment.

This would be a perfect capsule of the NCAA: ignore its own rules when SEC teams do everything short of murder because the networks and the BCS can't live without the SEC, and then hammer away at one of the main threats to the monopoly.
The total amount of "violations" regarding the football team was $4,934 for 63 players. That doesn't buy one half of one game from Cam Newton.

Preach on.
