Just thought I'd share.

From @akosnitzky: Can we speculate on the harshness of the NCAA penalties that may be placed on Miami the longer the matter is pending?
We're all just guessing on this stuff. Just like people are when they try and predict when the sanctions are going to be announced. It was the same way when people kept speculating when USC's sanctions were going to come down.
My hunch is that if the NCAA doesn't announce anything before December, Miami will self-impose another bowl unless the Canes are in-line for a BCS Bowl (which looks like a long-shot at this point.) Self-imposing a second post-season ban would be a shrewd move, since it'd mean Miami already sat out two post-seasons, it's also a sign that the school is taking these violations seriously. Keep in mind the NCAA immediately did punish all of the active players who were involved.
USC, which is going to be the barometer for modern NCAA sanctions, reportedly got hit as hard as it did (two-year post-season ban and losing 30 scholarships over three years) in part because the Trojans were uncooperative with the investigation and then-AD Mike Garrett had an arrogant attitude towards the process. We've since seen other schools getting seemingly more favorable sanctions because they were viewed as more cooperative.
In past cases we've heard from schools saying the sooner they learn their fate with the Committee on Infractions, the better they'll be. In Miami's case, the Canes might be better off not hearing till after October, since at that point they'll probably know if the 2012 season is worth sacrificing. And, if the sanctions don't come down till after Signing Day, they can still try and do what Lane Kiffin did and stock-pile recruits pre-sanctions. You could say that the uncertainty could scare off some recruits, and maybe it might, but it didn't cripple UM's signing class in 2012, and that was closer to the fire.
