Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 2347968, member: 1023"] I agree that Penn State is not a precedent. But it is a bit harsh to say the NCAA didn't have rules against child abuse. That situation was so abhorrent that I doubt anyone ever imagined they needed such rules. There are also no NCAA rules against a coach shooting a player with a crossbow. It is illegal but just not the NCAAs jurisdiction. In this case though the NCAA clearly has rules against bribing players and their families to come to your school. And doing it while already on probation is really low. My guess is that they won't get the death penalty but will be banned from the tourney for at least 2 years, maybe restricted in number of games ( which would be a significant penalty) and lose a few scholarships for 2-3 years. Probably a fine too. It is entirely possible that Louisville, Miami and Carolina will all be out of the NCAA Tournament this year. [/QUOTE]
