Recently the NCAA has come under fire because of illegal and morally compromising actions of its investigators in the case of the University of Miami violations. The NCAA hired the alleged booster that paid players, Nevin Shapiro's, attorney to gather more information about the UofM's violations that the NCAA did not have the power to obtain through subpoena. 
Mark A. Emmert, the president of the NCAA, often levies the most serious charge on institutions who's coaches and players violate the rules. This charge is called "lack of institutional Control". This can occur when a coach or player unbeknownst to the school officials violates NCAA rules. The schools administrators do not have to be implicated in the actions, and they can be cited for failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance. Either way they school is responsible for the actions of their coaches, players, and boosters.
The question is whether the NCAA has a lack of institutional control that they accuse colleges of possessing. Like college administrators Mark Emmert did not know of the actions of his subordinates, and they did things that were against the rules. Because of this and the way that the NCAA levies penalties, The NCAA is directly guilty of a lack of institutional control and should be punished for their actions.
