Baylor has hired a New York law firm to report potential NCAA violations stemming from the facts uncovered by Pepper Hamilton.
Some are calling for Baylor to be punished like Penn State was, while others are calling for even tougher action. Still others caution such an approach is problematic.

The goal is to provide an explanation of relevant NCAA bylaws and how they could be used to punish Baylor, and how those bylaws may not be applicable.
