I do not believe the NCAA's COI has the authority to issue that level of penalty without obtaining additional support and final approval from the Board of Governors. The very real risk of multiple lawsuits from players, fans, the University; not to mention local Louisville politicians who would lobby the NAACP to intercede on behalf of a urban mission University should eliminate that option.
I expect Neeli Bendapudi to personally address the NCAA Committee, and I think she has some persuasive argument that will be far more compelling than what TJ and his team presented the last time.
