NCAA will want to know how widespread this is and if UL is representative or an outlier.    If half the big BB programs are on Addidas (or Nike) lists of payments for players, then they are less likely to be as harsh.

This episode has parallels to the MLB steroid report.  The report, and the punishments, were heavily tilted toward the Yankees, Mets, and players with ties to other players on those teams.  Most were American as opposed to Dominican or other nationalities.   Why?  Because the stitches worked in the MY clubhouse and the American players were easier to find evidence against.

The truth was, and later panned out, that PED use was widespread and international players were heavily involved because ideas logistically harder to catch them until the testing programs caught up.

Playing top players is likely widespread but, only those named publicly by the GOP will get hammered.   The NCAA isn't going to dig too deeply on their own.
