Did they really deserve anything more? Sure, I could have seen the loss of 1-2 scholarships over the next few years; but even that has an extremely minuscule impact on recruiting, if it has any impact at all.
They weren't going to get anything more than a "slap on the wrist", because this was almost a non-issue with the football team and it was self-reported anyway.

I don't really think they should have gotten anything more severe. However, it is curious that the 4 highest amounts for impermissable textbooks were for football players. In addition, the committee noted that the school was unable to provide records prior to 2005 so the case was based on action since that time. Do we just assume that this all started in 2005? It may have been going on during the prior infractions, and just not caught at the time. If I was on the NCAA committee, I would have a real problem with UA not providing the records, especially since they were on probation during that time period. It seems that the NCAA is letting schools get away with improper conduct as long as they don't keep a record of their actions.

Four players receiving over $10,000 is not a non-issue. And that's just counting the INTENTIONAL violators. At a school that should go ahead and open office space in Indianapolis since they're up there so much. When an LSU booster (not the school itself) gave one basketball player $5,000 with no previous major infractions (at least not within any relevant time frame), it sure as hell wasn't a "non-issue".
It's cheating to do what they did. The NCAA compounded the cheating by not punishing them for it. In my opinion, NO Alabama win for the next few years has any validity.
