I've have to say yeah...
Seriously though, if om gets off with a few schollies and maybe a 1 year bowl ban it's the Wild West in college football. There will be zero f***s given.

I've gotten to where I really can't even broach the subject to or talk about it with my TCUN buddies. They're all delusional that their school would do something of this nature and still in denial that this NCAA mess is even happening to such an upstanding, christian, integrity-based group.

I just watched the "Pony Excess," for the first time and I swear it looks to me as if they followed the blueprint.
Maybe the NCAA, also will follow the blueprint.
I wan included on a group text of about 5 ole miss people on Sunday and the only guy I know sent out a link to the BO Davis stuff at bama and basically calling their investigtion a witch hunt and that Bama and State were the main ones behind this because State is jealous of their success and Ole miss had rocked the cart with Bama and upset them.. I then replied to him that well the cart must not have been rocked to hard since they made the playoffs both years... He then sends something along the lines of well if we are going down we are taking the entire sec down with us. I said good luck with that and this arrogant typical reb fan says that they have hired PIs all across the South to get the dirt on all the programs and they have all the cards and know where all the skeletons are hidden... I sent back one word....... DELUSIONAL
I honestly think it could happen, especially if TCUN's program is in such shambles after being hammered by the NCAA that they're no longer are able to be a "positive" net contributor to the conference for a couple of years.
I know they're a charter member and can't be kicked out, but there's got to be a charter of rules to abide by, and if your integrity is nothing but bad while you try to cheat your way to the top at the expense of your conference brothers, could that not be grounds for dismissal?
Again, for this to happen, the NCAA would have to be absolutely destroy their program SMU-style, but if this case is monumental in terms of repeated violations in lieu of an ongoing investigation, who knows...
The only way they get kicked out is if they got the death penalty for 2+ years, but if they did it would be a certainty. You couldn't justify anything less with the black sheep status plus the prospect of having a hole in over half the conference's schedule for more than a year.
That being said, they're not going to get the death penalty. MAYBE if they keep cheating as we suspect they will and get hit with repeat offender status down the road, but it's not going to come from the current investigation no matter how much piles up.
in the article BassChaser linked on page 4 of this thread, the NCAA says that a reduction of 50% of scholarships or more is not realistic because of the harm it would cause a program. So the maximum is less than a 50% reduction. So the 30 to 40 over 3 or 4 years seems to be somewhere in the range of what we can legitimately hope for. I say 32 over 4. That's a 33% reduction for 4 years. Add a bowl ban for a couple of years and multiple show causes and I think that's our best case scenario.
All except they aint doing what their cheating was designed to do...win championships. Didnt SMU win it all?
