I was just laying awake at almost 4am, and was wondering if anyone has factored in possible ramifications of this scandal for the upcoming season when thinking about the NCAA tourney. I mean, if 40 - 50 coaches (even mostly assistant coaches) are fired before the season is over - as someone has suggested - wouldn't that shake things up a bit, maybe making it a lot easier to get in? What if players are ruled ineligible or are suspended?
I guess it is impossible at this point to predict these sorts of things, but maybe it simply means that guessing about our chances of making the tourney is really much more futile than usual.
We are assuming that this is going to be a normal season. Maybe it will be. The wheels of justice may turn really slowly, or maybe no one will divulge information in order to obtain a lighter sentence, but my quess is that this season will be like none before.
