Yolanda's statement was all the NCAA needed to establish the violations.
At North Carolina, the course was flaky, but it was taken by both athletes and non-athlete. The required work, what there was of it, was done by the athletes. At Mizzou, Yolanda did the work, all of it, for the athletes. She tells the NCAA investigators that and it's game, set and match.
How would Sterk have kept Yolanda quiet? Buy her off? That's not exactly the Mizzou culture.
What Sterk was probably hoping is the NCAA would be lenient because of the cooperation. It seems the folks who heard the case took it more seriously than expected.
