What is interesting about NCAA violations is that most are self-reported. The NCAA puts a premium on institutional oversight. That doesn't mean that if an institution finds out they've messed up and tells Indy about it that the NCAA won't kick their butt.

Witness the following:

The NCAA says it has found major infractions involving all 14 sports at IUPUI.

The NCAA said Tuesday that IUPUI allowed erroneous eligibility certification for 97 student-athletes from 2003-04 through 2006-07, demonstrating a lack of institutional control and a failure to monitor by the university.

A former academic adviser was cited for unethical conduct for his refusal to cooperate with the NCAA during its investigation.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis will receive three years' probation and lose some scholarships. It will also vacate 18 victories by the men's basketball team in 2003-04; 14 wins by the women's basketball team in 2006-07; and 40 victories by the volleyball team from 2004-06.

The committee also found that the university failed to monitor the eligibility certification process. Specifically, it failed to provide NCAA rules education and training for key university staff. Although the university had an eligibility committee in place, it did not meet during the four years of the violations.

IUPUI said the issues were resolved through the summary disposition process rather than a formal hearing because the school and the NCAA agreed on the facts in the case.
