I don't think they will escape unscathed. But a lot of the violations were the kind that the NCAA typically says "don't do that again" to, especially the Freeze era stuff. And some of that was self reported. The Tunsil stuff, pre-draft day at least, was known for a long time and the NCAA accepted the 7 game suspension. The NCAA hasn't shown any desire to punish beyond that in other cases of players getting cash so I don't know if that will be as big a deal as some think. The Draft Night stuff I think depends on how good Ole Miss' song and dance is and whether they dig anything up or if they find dead ends. I still go back to the Saunders stuff as the linchpin, because if the NCAA decides it doesn't care about the age of the crime, it is the kind of thing that SHOULD get a program hammered, much more so than small time booster stuff. Honestly, it is difficult to understand how the NCAA decides what it cares about and what it does not.
