I guess the main question is whether he is going to lose job or just get a slap on the wrist. I vote second.
Self will be back on the recruiting trail by supper time
Duke may not have the largest alumni base, but they have some extremely wealthy alumni. Here's just a partial list from their website:

His contract specifically prohibits his firing over violations doesn't it? Seriously.
Your grudge should be against Gunther and the AD administration at the time for offering him a ridiculous below-market-value contract. The contract we gave him was an insult to him and the value he brought in. Of course he was going to leave as soon as the opportunity to get a real deal presented itself, particularly given that his dream school offered him. If we had the current administration at that time, we at least could have stood a fighting chance.
I'll predict similar to UNC (2005) --- absolutely nothing.
Would they let us hang them in the library, like they do at "good" schools?
I wouldn't say Will Wade have had bad seasons the last few ones. The last one wasn't great but still got them a postseason ticket. I am pretty certain the termination is due to the violation. Of course, he was at LSU, which is not KU.Nobody gets fired for cheating anymore- just losing. See Will Wade and Sean Miller last seasons

A timeline of Rick Pitino's rise and fall
A timeline of the highs and lows of Rick Pitino's coaching career.
He had already accepted the Arkansas job before Guenther talked him into staying in 2002. He had one foot out the door when he arrived. He needed Illinois to put on his resume so he could jump to a school with more cachet and a less restrictive AD. He never planned on KU coming available as soon as it did. Guenther could have offered him twice what KU did and Self would have still left.
I find this myth ridiculous. Arkansas isn’t some Blue Blood, lol, and it’s not a better job than Illinois. We were underpaying him BADLY, and he was either going to get an appropriate raise or go somewhere he would be paid fairly. If Whitman’s checkbook were out, this place would have had as much “cache” as anywhere else.
