Why do people keep saying if it's a slap-on-the-wrist then it's anything goes and recruiting?

Are people that dumb it's been anything goes in recruiting for decades now and anyone who knows anything about recruiting already knows this.

Rampant cheating is going to happen until players get paid legally and that's just a fact and there's nothing wrong with it. Schools are going to cheat players are going to cheat cheaters will prosper and that's just how it is that's how it's going to be and the sooner people come to this realization the better they'll be

If you get a slap-on-the-wrist after committing Academic Fraud + allowing your Asst Athletic Director to facilitate Booster/Recruit interaction on numerous occasions then what's to stop any other program from doing the same?

Barney Farrar was at the core of your Athletic Department. He created a systematic operation where he matched specific Boosters to top dog recruits and made sure they received impermissible benefits in exchange for an LOI in February. He was strategically placed in that position to ensure Freeze acquired the desired results on NSD. Freeze commended Barney on how much he "poured" into recruiting.
