@wissox I just don't have a grasp of what is fair/what will happen. There has been such a large disparity in punishments for schools involved.
OSU got the book. NC State got a slap on the wrist.
NC State went through the IARP and should be very similar to our case (I would think). Resulted in one-year probation and a show-cause order for Gottfried.
"We specifically discussed whether or not we were going to impose a postseason ban, and we basically determined that we didn't want to hurt or punish the student-athletes that are currently competing," said Dana Welch, an arbitrator who served on the IRP. "We did, however, want the institution to take this very seriously, there were very serious recruiting violations here."

This is what I would think we would get. Bill maybe gets a 1-year show-cause and KT will get 3-4 years or something like that. I'm guessing there will be a nice big fine and possibly a scholarship while under the show-cause orders. Possible vacating of the 2018 FF (which would be kind of funny to see as we put up the new banners).
But, we could get the book thrown at us. Bill made an example of.
Will be interesting if he is able to keep the name Teflon Bill after this is settled.
I agree with most of this. The only difference really is Gottfried was actively making the payments, where Townsend has some plausible deniability.
