re: why hasn't the media or NCAA done more snooping at Alabama?

New York Times 1995

*Contrary to N.C.A.A. rules, an Alabama player accepted six loans from boosters in 1989 and 1990. The loans, totaling $24,400, were never repaid.

*Another player was allowed to play in 11 regular-season games in 1993 although he had signed with an agent. The N.C.A.A. said Alabama officials did not pursue the matter diligently and did not notify the N.C.A.A. until almost 11 months after the signing.

"These violations are some of the worst, most serious that have ever occurred," he said.
The university, accused of 11 major violations — one was later withdrawn — and five minor charges under two former coaches, said it would appeal.

The Tide contested the two most publicized charges involving claims of boosters making five-figure payments to lure two recruits.

But it admitted some violations and imposed penalties on itself, including a reduction of 15 scholarships over three years and the temporary disassociation of three boosters at the heart of the recruiting scandal.

Then like clockwork DJ Fluker scandal comes out in 2012. Only difference is the NCAA no longer cares
