Why did the NCAA stop using TV bans as punishment?

It seems that the TV ban would be a good deterrent to rampant cheaters. On top of a loss of schollies, no games on TV would make it even harder to recruit and win.

When/why did this end?

If I had to guess it has something to do with the wording in tv contracts.

because it punishes everyone you play as well. Back in the days where only a handful of games were on TV each week and conferences didn't have these massive deals with networks, TV bans weren't as big a deal.

Tell me how happy you would be that the Ole Miss/Bama game wasn't on TV because they got caught.

Did you seriously not stop and think about all the opponents they play being pretty pissed off they couldnt watch the game on tv when they play them?

Because it punishes their opponents.
I'm wondering why they stopped forfeiting and went to vacating instead.

because back then, conferences didnt pool their media rights together and sell them as a whole. if OM was banned from being on TV, it would frick with the entire SEC as a whole and it would frick with ESPN and CBS

As others have said, it ends up hurting your opponent and conference in the end.

As far as when it ended, Kentucky Basketball had a TV ban in the late 80s (that included local TV too, not just National). I can't really recall anyone after that.

Today's punishments dont have shite on what they used to do...

Good idea.

We should petition the NCAA to apply this retroactively to Bama for their last probation period.
