Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 2348709, member: 1023"] I think there are 2 possible outcome and they are largely dependent on the breadth of this scandal. If it involves UL, Miami and Kentucky and 1or 2 others who have histories of sleaze buying players, it probably won't be that big a deal for everyone else and things will go on more or less as before , albeit without much of a role for the guys in trouble. If it turns out that only BC and Wagner are not implicated, you will see a wholesale change. But what that would be is interesting because here's the thing. You still need some national entity to oversee things as basic as rules of the game but lots of other stuff as well. The pro leagues have owners and a commissioner for that but they are all less than 40 teams. There are 120 football schools in D1 and over 300 hoop schools. On the football side the P5 might prevail but basketball is different and I am going to guess that nobody is paying big bucks for a tourney that includes bad teams from p,5 leagues but not UConn, Cincinatti, Villanova and Gonzaga never mind the small schools that make the early rounds so much fun.
