Oh, is THAT all?  Vacated wins, PLUS probation AND losing scholarships?  It's important to keep perspective here on how other schools have been punished of late.
 
Miami--after their hooker-and-blow gate, with far more sinister improper benefits than what will come out with us--got away with a SELF IMPOSED one-year post season ban.
 
ESPN is reporting that Oklahoma State has agreed to a 2 year, [U]one scholarship reduction[/U] for their football team... and that is stemming from a huge scandal that SI published last year.
 
There is no way that we're going to accept the punishment you list above.  One, because it would be unbelievably harsh.  And two, because precedental cases are on our side.
 
I think that the NCAA is doing what they normally do--they throw a lot of s--t at the wall to see what sticks. My guess is that most of it will be penny ante stuff [especially with the alleged improper benefits, which I have a difficult time believing will be that severe, after what happened in '92] that WON'T stick, and that at the end of the day we'll be down to a couple of infractions that certainly will not necessitate to scorched earth you are predicting.
