Seems like D-Day is near and the NCAA announcement can come at anytime and it's possible the University has received notice. It will be dependent on the fans to press the University of Miami to pursue remedies to unfair penalties, Mark Emmert has shown that his word cannot be trusted. I suspect the penalties will be harsher than most fans expect.
Donna Shalala has paved the way for the commissioners of the 5 big conferences to demand changes to the NCAA's operating procedures and rules and she has the ability to see that Congress steps into this matter as well. There is no person better qualified than her to lead a commission to reform the NCAA's archaic and unfair practices. You have a white person Mark Emmert making over $1.5 million plus God knows what in expense accounts telling young, growing men who are working out hours a day that they can't accept a bagel with cream cheese let alone a steak from a friend. I say that's nonsense and hypocritical.
Someone has to see that Jim Isch, the NCAA's second highest ranking official and it's former interim President is held accountable for approving the Elena Perez - Nevin Shapiro fiasco in which a Federal Bankruptcy Court was lied to. Jim Isch is Mark Emmert's long time friend and co-worker and he should have been fired immediately instead they hung the noose around Julie Roe Lach's neck.
I also firmly believe, as other lawsuits have alleged, that the NCAA is a monopoly and they have violated anti-trust laws. Additionally, that the NCAA's Clearing House (Eligibility Center) has discriminated against minority students particularly African Americans and that they have no authority to establish standards to play sports beyond those that the various states require for a student to graduate.
