Overreaction. Look at Baylor. People remember their scandal but that was about 10,000 times the magnitude of this, and among the biggest sports scandals of all time. Ask anyone, even a big sports fan what happened there and they'll give you some sketchy details and not much else.

People also overestimate how 99% of stories resonate after news cycles end. Last year everyone was saying that BP would be boycotted forever due to the gulf spill, which was a massive story affecting the environment, local industry, wildlife, an entire region, etc. Took them 3 months from when it was capped to turn a 2 billion dollar profit.

If things remain static and there's no other accusers or whatever, this will have very little impact on the university. Bernie's personal life is a different story and that really sucks for him. Hopefully this story turns into a Duke Lax thing, another data point for getting all the facts before news outlets take it to the court of public opinion.
