No way.

A couple of the most-clearly implicated coaches will be pushed out, a guy like Izzo who is already on thin ice may not be able to sustain additional significant heat. But no way the three most prominent coaches in the game (k, Williams, cal) are going down because of this.

We kind of already went through this once - there was a major furor with the first fbi announcement, Pitino and a handful of assistants took a dive, and then life went on. This time it will be Miller. Next time it might be Izzo. The NCAA is going to say that this is terrible behavior but mostly not a violation of NCAA rules by the programs (the players the NCAA will happily throw under the bus), make a huge show of promising reform, adopt a bunch of new agent rules that push the money elsewhere, start giving players a few thousand dollars as a stipend, and insist everything’s fine now.

And most of us - me definitely included - will  be fine with that. Because this is the only way college sports as we know it survives - with everyone pretending not to know about the rot at its heart. The NCAA has always been wily coyote running off the mountain; the fbi is forcing us to look down, but we and the NCAA will go right back to what we were doing as soon as sufficient time and sacrificial lambs have passed.
