I like the way the NCAA handles problems in the athletic field: if a school is under investigation, they send a letter to the school and copies to the media. If they take action, there is a full report (full page or more) in their public news-magazine, and on their website. Surely ABC's athletic director, coaches, alumni boosters, etc., read about XYZ's problems and sanctions, and make sure nobody at ABC is doing anything similar.

Hoosier, there's a lot to be said for being more honest and forthcoming about problems, I agree. The elephant-in-the-living-room syndrome is prevalent in too many organizations, not just GLOs.
As to the NCAA and the higher education sports establishment, well, with all due respect I'm not sure that's the best model. Yes, there's publicity, and that might be a useful thing, but just from reading the news over the years I'm not sure there's a long-lasting deterrent effect.
I could be wrong, but there seems to be too much money and emotion invested, at least in the Big Time Sports schools, for a realistic chance at eliminating eventual resurgence of violations.
