That was new evidence to me and it was very helpful. Coming from the chairman of the tribe, we found that to be very compelling.

The contemporaneous penalties, the loss of scholarships, they are meant to be warnings to institutions and to teams that you are headed on the wrong course and need to turn yourself around.
