[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1385705, member: 527609"] Mack to Louisville per Twitter. It's not that the NCAA doesn't or won't punish big-time programs, it's that they can't. Louisville has a huge loyal fanbase, a decorated history, gobs of money, and elite facilities. Give them the death penalty, do whatever you like to them, they will come back. SMU died because they were a house of cards to begin with. Bruce Pearl's Auburn will be a house of cards too. Things built on a solid foundation cannot be stopped by temporary sanctions. (And they shouldn't be, by the way. To the extent the NCAA ought to enforce its ridiculous mandate at all, the enforcement should fall on the coaches who commit the acts, not the future leadership who had nothing to do with it, or the real moral calculation in the college sports internet world, the fans who experienced "undeserved" happiness and now ought to pay penance) [/QUOTE]
