... is the fact the if they do get hammered, the Network of boosters, disassociated or not, will come together and look at the stuff they are accused of and say "Boys, the NCAA spent 3+ years digging into our dubious ways of doing things and really didn't find all that much" (1). "If we would have paid off Miller like I told y'all, they wouldn't have much at all". "They couldn't trace the signing bonuses, the new vehicles, the jobs for the parents or the multitude of stipends we pay out each week". "We tie up a few loose ends and we can keep on keeping on!" "They found nada on Nkemdiche or Treadwell and we all know how much they cost!" "Hahahahaha". "We got hammered boys, but it's business as usual! Let's get the best ones we can get with the schollies we have left." "Now pass me that manila envelope with the info on that 5* DL out of NC... what's it gonna take to get him? My bagman is ready."

(1) Yes I realize they have 8 Level 1's but considering what the Network was probably doing for the last 4+ years... they have to figure their plan, for the most part, is still solid.
