I keep waffling on the issue of whether they are penalized above the 30-35 number of scholarships for 4 years or if they go below, do they hammer in another way.

I think the NCAA is not actually gunning for Freeze per se. I think they are gunning for whatever unidentified group is pulling his strings.

It seems like the NCAA might be trying to effect change from WITHIN the university. I feel like the only change that will be effective is if their educational board of directors is so publically embarassed by this that they rip it apart and start over hiring new chancellor, athletic director, and a head coach that has credibilty for running a clean program. THE QUESTION is who at that school is powerful enough to clean house in the name of saving some credibility going forward? Yea sure, we all want them to be struggling at the level of SMU for years to come, but if they simply show cause Freeze, you are leaving the source of the problem to hire his replacement.

This case is so important to the NCAA. And OM is playing right into their hand.
