I'll believe Louisville won't have a basketball program when I see it.

Remember when people said Penn State was going to have to drop their football program and the university might even lose accreditation because of the Sandusky scandal? It's been less than six years since Sandusky was first arrested, and you'd be hard-pressed to find any remaining effect. 

North Carolina was supposed to be buried by their academic scandal. It's had no effect on them.

Both of those scandals were many, many times worse than what Louisville did. As long as Louisville can put together enough money to fight the NCAA every step of the way, they'll be fine.

when the Nevin Shapiro story broke, everyone was talking about the possibility of the Death Penalty at long last for college football's most chronic problem child.

Nothing happened. The NCAA screwed up along the way by trying to take advantage of criminal depositions in the case to ask their own questions, but nevertheless, Miami suffered no penalties even though the principal involved turned evidence and agreed to cooperate, turning over reams of payment records.

implicated by this scandal, it occurred to me that those suspected are shots aways from the elite ones. And sp this investigation seems like a warning to those others.

I mean if UNC can survive and win an NC while the school's been under NCAA investigation for years and its enforcement committee is just getting around to the penalty phase of the case while the basketball program has seemingly avoided any taint or potential penalty, is rather amazing.
