I said in the mega thread that one way the NCAA could play this is to make an example of one of the schools and basically nuke it from the college athletics landscape.  It would make the NCAA look tough, and would protect the reputation of the member institutions.

Louisville looks like the leading candidate to be the fall guy.  They are not a long-time member of the club.  They are weak academically.  They are in a small, poor market that is not particularly attractive to advertisers.  But they are big enough that it would make some noise if they were taken out.

It is likely that the NCAA will do nothing because that is what they always do, but this is unprecedented.  They could look tough and get rid of a mistake in one move, which might open the door to a cleaner, more academically respected university to step in.  It also helps that the ACC is coming off two recent championships, so they don't need Louisville's football program any more.

This could be our last shot.
