I don't know where I sit on all this. On one hand, much like the Federal Government, the NCAA hasn't been efficient at anything, and you could argue effective.
On the other hand, I am all for stricter penalties, if you have the rules in place as they are now. I think that triffling fines that amount to a slap on the wrist are useless as a deterant. However, I understand that all those revenues -- regardless of how small they may seem -- fuel the abilities to go forward in the future.
I just don't know on this one.

The NCAA needs to refocus its mission on Education. Stop worrying about money, move to an olympic model and let athletes promote themselves if they can. But add stricter enforcement and high standards to education. Make sure kids are going to class, doing their work, and getting an education.
Also punishments for violations should be applied to coaches/ADs, not only schools. Coaches and ADs are the ones responsible for "out of control" institutions, not the recruits who get hurt by losing scholarships. And yes this is expressly pointed at Calipari, but he is the ones who is the problem, not Memphis.
