Again. No one is suggesting that the current players or coaches who came in after the activity should be fined, or suspended, or punished in any way.
But the organization--which demonstrated a lack of institutional control and allowed it to happen--can and should be punished.
I'm not even sure how your system would work in practice. If < 33% of the janitorial staff is still employed, then you can punish the organization. If 2 assistant coaches and 4 players remain, then that is not enough to punish the team. But if 3 assistant coaches, 6 players and a ball boy are still there, then you can dock them a 6th round pick. I mean, how messy a system do you want?
Do the crime, do the time. And I bet that next time, Mr. Snyder (and future owners) does what it takes to keep things running within the rules under his watch.
