Her bosses put pressure on her to do her job and she did something illegal because she's incompetent, and her bosses are at fault? So no more pressure to meet sales goals, since someone can deceive and blame it on the business?

Auburn and Michigan both had scandals involving paper classes and they never got punished either. The problem is two-fold:
1. Independent study is a 100 percent legitimate thing. Much of my graduate work was done that way because my mentor was a Harvard educated hard-arse who was more qualified than anyone else to teach me (he was quite literally *the single authority in my field."). He created classes just for me and I worked harder academically in those than I have for anything else in my life. It's done less often at the undergraduate level but it still legitimately happens at a pretty common level (it's usually done for honors type students and those who want or need a very specialized course load).
2. What UNC did is something that could potentially cost them accreditation. UNC is a prestige school but even if they weren't, that's just not a door the NCAA wants to be the one to open. (Remember the NCAA is a conglomeration of universities and all of them want to keep that status at all costs).
UNC absolutely deserved to be put on probation by SACS (I've seen no-name schools get probation for less) but had the NCAA opened that door wider they might've been forced to pull their accreditation. (A school can re-gain accreditation but that's not something the NCAA wants to be responsible for.).
tl;dr version - an association of colleges whose main duty is to regulate sport doesn't want to be involved in a member school losing accreditation. NCAA will not investigate an issue that could very much damage or even destroy the member school completely just because the sports side of it got out of hand (and no accreditation threatens that).

I think this is the real reason they got to slide as even on probation they lose government funding which is probably at least 10 x more valuable than sports. Still, that being said it does make a difference that it is UNC and not say IU which the NCAA has no problem dropping the hammer on.

You know how I know you are old?
In the old days you wanted the hardest teachers because you were there to learn.
