Shapiro Allegations and the Effect on the University?

<p>Let’s not talk about this. >.></p>

<p>(Last night “Shapiro” was trending on twitter, in case you didn’t notice.)</p>

<p>I’m hoping it’s all a lie. But chances are there is at least some truth to it. I’m just hoping that there’s no incriminating evidence on current players or players that have been here in the last four years, and that there’s no solid evidence that coaches were involved. That way, the NCAA can’t go beyond their four year statue of limitations.</p>

<p>If it’s all true, and the NCAA determines this to be the case, it will still probably only have profound effects within the athletic department, thankfully. It would be terrible, but at least it’s not going to affect my education. I doubt they’d resort to the “death penalty” in such a case, so we’d still have football. It would just be a severely hindered football program, with, probably, bowl bans and scholarship reductions as well as many of our players being ineligible to play.</p>

<p>But let’s sit back and see how it plays out. As of yet, we don’t know what the NCAA is thinking. This could all be nothing. Let’s hope that’s the case anyway.</p>
