Cleveland State was put on probation in 1988, two years after beating Indiana in the first round of the tournament and making the Sweet 16. Their coach was friends with Tarkanian. What I didn't realize is that the violations involved Manute Bol.
Ironically, this was about the same time as Kentucky and the Emery Envelope, which caused UK to get hit very hard (two year post season ban and one year TV ban, which I'm not sure how you could do that today). I don't know the timing of the quote or all the violations, but I'm guessing Cleveland State's penalties had just been handed out about the time the UK story was breaking, resulting in the quote.
Here is an article which mentions Cleveland State's probation, along with the many other transgressions of their head coach at the time, whose arrest was apparent caught on the local news:

I think the NCAA allowing players to make money off likeness is because they know almost every school pays players (even if its a small amount) and it is easier to allow this than to control it.
