I don't know. I think UNC basketball is too much of a cash cow for the NCAA to deal out the death penalty to them.
I think they'll get penalized, badly. And I think they SHOULD get the death penalty in multiple sports...
But unfortunately, I think money will talk in this one.
I still wish someone would explain to me how the basketball alone is responsible for 20 players per year taking these classes. I've never seen a college basketball team have that many players, unless we're counting some sort of practice squad.
This thread was simply to root out all the Duke fans posing as UT fans. Heels simply need to buy some indulgences and wipe out those sins of the past....King Michael of Chapel Hill
I don't know how the ncaa could not give them the death penalty and still seem even remotely fair and legit. UNC is just about forcing their hand on this. The ncaa will have no "institutional control" if they sweep this under the rug or give a wrist slap.
I don't believe the NCAA will ever hand down the death penalty again. There is too much at stake, and it would effect the ACC as a whole and every other school UNC plays on it's schedule. These conferences make money as a group, and that would effectively punish other schools who had nothing to do with it. I think they are looking at scholarship reductions and probably a post season ban. JMO.
