They could try and include a


"morals clause" or similar in the membership requirements of each institution. Admitting "bad" but not against any of the NCAA athletic rules type behavior, a-la UNC, shouldn't be a possible defense.

This could be "tried" in front of a jury of peers (representatives of member institutions) and would give NCAA some leeway to enforce some type of sanctions. Keep it subjective - did the school do things that did not represent the NCAA well? If a majority of peers think so, then NCAA has a hammer. That hammer could be as minor as a reprimand to not do it again (buy a recruit dinner) with threat of harsher sanctions - to the athletic death penalty (create a system that while athletic department-wise is "legal", endorses systemic cheating)

Might be some tit for tat type cases for a while, but would eventually be self regulating i.e. "We can't do that, a rival might turn us in" or "other respectable institutions are doing this, so can we"

Admittedly very hard logistics.
