is that it's so easy for that to turn against us.
Remember this is a room full of ncaa "officials/employees." Not technically employed by the ncaa, but people who work within it and must believe to some extent in its mission.
One of them could easily look at Syracuse and say hey, this teams punishment was removing itself from consideration last year, when they probably weren't getting in anyway, and now the net effect of this years JB punishment is we have to give them the benefit of the doubt and put them in when their full resume tells me no?
It's not hard for one of them to think we just got the lightest punishment in the history of the ncaa, and saying forget them, I'm not playing along. I know these people are not the infractions committee and it's not their job to relitigate, but if we're up on the board with 5 other teams, a thought like that by just a few people in that room puts us out.
