NCAA Sanctions: "DP" for Penn Football, or...?

[J. J. in Phila]

Institutional control can be quite broad. I think the NCAA did act in accordance with its rules, specifically:

3.2.5 Loss of Active Membership.
3.2.5.1 Termination or Suspension. The membership of any active member failing to maintain the academic
or athletics standards required for such membership or failing to meet the conditions and obligations of
membership may be suspended, terminated or otherwise disciplined by a vote of two-thirds of the delegates
present and voting at an annual Convention. Membership shall not be suspended or terminated unless:
(a) A notice of intention to suspend or terminate membership, stating the grounds on which such a motion
will be based, is given in writing to the chair of the Board of Directors and to the president or chancellor
of the member institution on or before the first day of November prior to the Convention; (Revised:
3/8/06)
(b) The Board of Directors approves the notification of intention to move for suspension or termination; and
(c) Such notice is included in the Official Notice of the annual Convention.
3.2.5.1.1 Cessation of Rights and Privileges. All rights and privileges of the member shall cease upon
any termination or suspension of active membership.
