Do you think a business should treat the franchise that makes the most money the same as the franchise that makes the least money? Of course not.

I have no issue with Calhoun. Money-making sports programs at major universities bring in large amounts of revenue that are used to float other less lucrative sports and programs.

Then why hand out any sanctions at all? If the only reason the NCAA is harder on non-BCS schools is just to look tough, then it is time to re-think the whole process.
