They won't kill college basketball. Look at how they treated UNC with the cheating scandal. That was death penalty stuff and they got a slap on the wrist.
Remember, college football is NOT the NCAA's cash cow. It's basketball and the tourney that lines their pockets. They won't see that destroyed.
Some times a scandal is too big. Remember the banks were too big to fail? Then Hillary gave us too big to jail? That's what this is looking like to me.
The coaches aren't stupid. They say "get the player, do what you have to do to get the player, I don't want to know, but get the player".
Imagine college basketball with Calipari, Krzyzewski, Self, Izzo, and Williams (and their teams) ineligible. That's too big. Now if it is just one or two of them, then nobody cares if Bruce Pearl or FSU go down with them. If it is 3 or 4 of them, they will blame it on a few assistants and the shoe companies and throw them under the bus to save the sport.
