Then they need to go after Haith and nail him too.

I agree with Feldman. I can't imagine the NCAA not handing out at least one year bowl ban. This case has been so high profile with so much time expenditure they'll feel justified and almost obligated to do it, particularly considering public opinion stacked against the Canes. Even if the initial indications don't look too bad I'd expect the penalty phase to work against us.
I'm a USC alum, but more of a Canes fan. During the USC case I wanted to be optimistic, and I read all the rationalizations and deflections on their boards. But I couldn't escape the foundational impression that the case had simply dragged on too long, with enormous frustrations and energy expenditure from the NCAA, to logically expect a benefit of a doubt. Every 50/50 ball is likely to go the other way. I think there's too much optimism around here, particularly that the 2-year self impose has solved everything. Prosecutors of this type love to sit there with a smug grin as severe punishment is handed out, with their name attached.
Except USC really didn't cooperate with the investigation and the administration there made the investigative team's job more difficult at every turn. The UM administration has attempted to make things easier for the NCAA, even though some former players refuse to talk to them, which is hardly grounds for punishment of UM.
No doubt we get scholarship reductions, however. Any reductions less than or equal to 15 scholarships really do not set the program back at all. 15 scholarships over, let us say, three years is the difference between grabbing reaches and projects like Eddie Johnson, and it would suck to not be able to grab anymore Eddie Johnson's for the next three years, but ultimately we can still win a championship with the guys we will still be able to grab. Most Eddie Johnson's don't end up being as good as Eddie Johnson anyways.

One of the major differences between the cases is that Emmert wasn't in charge back then. He has tried to brin uniformity to the punishments handed down and has tried to focus on punishing the corches involved. Look at all the cases that have come down since he took over. Lots of uniformity.
I challenge anyone to tell me how our case is any worse than UCF, who they hung LOIC on. How many bowl bans did they get? How many did UNC get for egregious widespread cheating and the Asst HC being directly involved and paid by an agent Wichard?
At a time when public opinion about the NCAA is low, if they hammer us despite all of our cooperation and pro-active approach towards multiple bowl bans, why would programs in the future cooperate with the NCAA if they are just going to get crushed. I suspect that the bulk of the punishment will be directed towards the coaches. If you read the tea leaves you can't help but notice that Golden is recruiting a class in the 20s when at times during the season there was talk of a class in the teens.

Our lawyers and Shalala will go in with guns a blazing and fight against allegations that are not proven by the NCAA.
**** the NCAA for doing this so close to signing day...hopefully its not too bad and the recruits realize it won't have that big of an impact on them because we already took 2 bowl bans what more do they want other than scholarship reductions.
DMoney....what do you have for us on this?
18-25 would really **** me off. Why would they give these positive signals if that's what it was. It will be hard to manage more than 15.

If we got 6 scholly for three years taken and 1 more bowl ban while that sucks it would not be that bad. Lets put it this way, that is probably significantly less than what our rivals have telling recruits the past 2 years. Also while another bowl ban may mess up things regarding the 2013 class, it would have no bearing on the monster potential class of 2014.
