I've moved on.  I'll read the eventual outcome, but it doesn't really matter.  Whatever the penalty is, UNC will be in the same place academically and athletically within a couple years.

UNC is, or is perceived to be, a great school that kids want to go to.  Half of the kids (boys and girls) in my town wear UNC gear.  No non-academia individual cares about this scandal in determining whether to go to UNC.

Athletically, I agree with Roy Williams that the biggest penalty that the NCAA has given UNC is uncertainty.  If I'm a recruit, I'm skeptical of UNC knowing that they may get penalized while I'm there.  Once the penalty is given, UNC may struggle for a couple years if there are significant scholarship reductions and/or post season bans, but they'll rise right back to their high level shortly thereafter.

What UNC did was reprehensible, and I don't blame people for wanting the NCAA to take a pound of flesh, but I don't believe it's going to impact UNC for very long.
