Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 2877683, member: 2141"] Financial exposure, no. Political exposure, yes. Congress and the NCAA have not always been on the same page and with the current Senate Majority leader hailing from Kentucky (McConnell), I can see how a death penalty on Louisville where both a major state run university and the state's largest city are put at risk could get the Senate's attention. That said, I think the chances of the NCAA handing Louisville the death penalty are very slim (even if the death penalty is not used here, it likley will never be used again). The only reason for it to be used is if the FBI investigation hammers the NCAA and it needs a scapegoat to take the fall. [/QUOTE]
