If the offender was a lawyer for instance, his state bar would likely disbar him. State bars are not criminal courts. They don't have the job of punishing. Yet, they take action when it is appropriate similarly to a criminal court. The same standard exists for CPAs, Architects, and doctors.

Yes, because that is their role.

It is not the NCAA's role here. They would be stretching and expanding their level of oversight far beyond what it has been or was intended to be. They struggle enough as it is, they don't need to be getting involved where they don't really belong and aren't really needed.

It isn't their role. Their role in most states is statutorily defined as making sure that an applicant displays minimal competency. It has nothing to do with punishing wrong doers who are licensed once they become members. They engage in that because it is politically the correct move and some professional licensing entities have, over time, actually amended their rules to provide for such a power. Others do it without regard to what their rules provide. TMYK
