It also will improve the ability for cases to be handled more expeditiously." While Meyer added the following: "I’m fully supportive of it. I appreciate the NCAA revisiting the discipline structure … I am in full support of very stringent penalties and keeping, or even restoring, the integrity of college football," Meyer said during Tuesday’s Big Ten teleconference. "Throughout history, the only way to keep civilization and keep things in order is to have very strong rules and enforce them. Clear rules with very firm, swift punishment."
