Yeah, some of these had their place and reason at one time and some still do (some of the recruiting dead periods and no contact, but there has to be some common sense with this crap, which unfortunately the NCAA completely lacks.
I think that most (if not all) of the rules still have a place. But it's like the 15-yard facemask penalty. There's a penalty when you crank on it and a penalty when you brush it. Intent is not considered (AFAIK). I don't know that there would have been a difference between Meyer saying "Good luck" and Meyer reading him War & Peace. Maybe the latter would have been a major violation.
Secondary violations, based on this list, simply aren't even worth noting.

Which is the good thing, that secondary violations usually only result in training sessions/classes, nominal sums of money being paid back, etc. If 46 violations for Ohio State is "normal", though I'd hope any university and compliance department worth paying for would be trying their damnedest to try and stop these violations from ever happening from year to year, then I assume we'd see just as many from any other university around the nation, so thankfully the NCAA has some bit of common sense there in treating these secondary violations as just minor bumps and requiring minor things like classes and small sums money being paid back, and not trying to come down with the hammer as they do when it comes to major violations.
the only school who's had the hammer given to them for a major violation in recent years has been usc.
every other school who's been in the news recently has gotten a slap on the wrist.
Good to see the CWS have some fresh faces in it like Kent State and Stony Brook. They'll definitely be the fan favorites in Omaha.
I haven't seen so many people disappointed here in Baton Rouge since the day after the BCS Championship.
GAMECOCKS WIN!!!! Final Score 3-2 victory over Arkansas! South Carolina will head back to the CWS Finals for the third straight year!!

Congrats to South Carolina.
Congrats Naitch! I had to get to sleep last night since I had to be into work at 3am this morning, so I didn't get to watch the comeback (it was 2-0 Arkansas when I went to sleep), but I was hoping South Carolina would come back and win it. With Kent State eliminated, South Carolina was the next team in line that I wanted to see win it all, so I'm happy to see they'll get a chance to win that third straight title.
Quit the year so far Nature Boy, first the Kings and now maybe the College WS.
Unfortunately for Naitch, I will not be supporting his amazing year continuing into the fall. As a Broncos fan, I can not legally root for the Raiders to win the Super Bowl.
Thanks guys. It's still hard to believe South Carolina is just two wins away from a 3rd straight National Championship. I have had a good run by my favorite sports teams so far this year. All I can say is it's about freakin' time. lol. Being a SC, Kings and Raiders fan, I've had to sit through a lot of shitty years. The lone bright spot has been the Lakers but they had some very crappy years during the 90's. Unless something major happens, I don't see them winning anymore NBA Championships for a very long time.

It's been a great three year run by South Carolina. Back to Back National Titles and they made it all the way back to the CWS Finals again this year. They came up short tonight but they have nothing to be ashamed of.
Wait? You mean you were still a fan when they weren't winning?
This is why I love being a fan of a military academy.

The Navy men's lacrosse team flew back to BWI airport today after playing Notre Dame in a fall lacrosse game on Saturday. While at BWI, the team encountered 67 World War II veterans. After having the opportunity to shake their hand and thank them for their service, the team lined up and saluted them as their buses passed by. It put the entire trip in perspective.
God Bless Our Troops.
