Maybe, but the point is that new coverage is not going to lead to harsher penalties.
Don't even try to compare this to Penn State -- that is so off the charts it is unbelievable. It is also absurd for people to compare this to rumors of other recruits receiving benefits, when there has been no NCAA investigation of those rumors.
So far this appears to be a simple case. A booster got out of hand, MSU self-reported, the booster has been disassociated and a coach let go. Penalties will be light. I think if there was more to it then MSU would not have self-reported in the first place.
