The fact that UNC has 18 verbals, 4 following Fedora, and only 2 decommts leads me to think there is no bowl ban coming. Seems the school already knows the sanctions, is telling Fedora and the recruits, and their coming points to light punishment.
Miami's dominating as usual and they are guaranteed tough penalties. Kids are stoopid
...so why an up&coming coach and recruits that could play elsewhere?
It'll be interesting to see how many of the verbals back out after the penalties are handed down.
The school doesn't know the sanctions and there is nearly no way they avoid a bowl ban. That would completely discredit the NCAA as an institution (even moreso than they already are).
When is the NCAA announcement on penalties supposed to come out?
Unless it's in the next week, it will be too late for the verbals to back out. Don't think they will be able to 'de-commit' after signing day, in spite of any new developments...........ie. penalties.
Why would a recruit care about a possible one-year bowl ban?
You're looking only at the numbers. UNC's recruiting class lacks a lot of the star power some of their recent, past classes under Butch and Blake have had. Their recruiting has absolutely dropped off this year, even if it is not as much as we would have anticipated or liked.
