Only the tarholes would get a lack of institutional control charge and the next day announce a contract extension to their most high profile coach. Those guys are unbelievable
What are the bets here for the punishment? I don't really care about UNC football or women's hoops. So for men's hoops, maybe the loss of ships and a postseason ban for 2-3 years?
someone explain to me why vacating wins isn't the obvious solution here?
If you want to make a carolina fan apoplectic, suggest taking away the 2005 and 2009 banners. That hurts UNC fans more than almost anything. Then take away some scholarships and put them on probation with a one year postseason ban in every affected sport. Minimal pain for the current crop of athletes, but it hits them where it hurts - in their prestige. I suspect that most carolina fans would smile at the prospect of just a one year postseason ban and loss of some scholarships - hit them where it hurts, which is where their pride lies - in those national championships.
No, to me that's the easy way out. Vacating wins and titles that have already taken place means little. Reggie Bush won the damn Heisman. Just because you're erasing something from an official record book doesn't negate what happened. Taking away ships, TV and future postseasons hits a school where it hurts. And I find it hard to believe that some of y'all only think men's hoops will only get a year or 2 of that. I know it's Carolina and all. But what they did on a systematic basis was way worse than what SMU did because it involves massive academic fraud and not just pay for play. And SMU got the death penalty. If the NCAA doesn't hammer Carolina, they'll look like an even more massive joke, and they'll speed up their own eventual demise.

How would that work with no home games?
I think no postseason, loss of scholarships, no TV would do a lot to hurt UNC.
Why would any recruit go play for UNC if they were not going to play on TV or in any postseason tournament or bowl game? Even 1-and-done players need some coverage to get the hype.
Would be HUGE.
