And giving the NCAA that kind of power to singlehandedly dismantle a program might be a shaky proposition and give a lot of coaches an uneasy feeling just because they could also get hit in the future on things where they truly don't know what all is going on.
To me what it boils down to is how much they can tie from the Tunsil texts back to Freeze. If they can show beyond reasonable doubt that the head coach was complicit in arranged payments to players, then I don't see any way they can get around it. But just the situation with the booster on the visit might not be enough. But this is the NCAA we are talking about, so who really knows either way.
