Maybe not, but Bowl Revenue is a drop in the bucket in the overall revenue sharing system the SEC has in place. Plus history shows that the SEC usually reimburse schools after they show compliance.

While I think overall Freeze is one of the better coaches they have had, you are going to take a harder hit from the NCAA for keeping him. It is going to take 3-5 years to recover from the scholorship hit alone. If the NCAA adds another year on the bowl ban which I think is fairly likely, you open the door for transfers.

The NCAA hasn't shown mercy on any school that fired a coach. Freeze wasn't named in any of the issues, so he hasn't been labeled with "Show Cause" tag yet. It will take 3-5 year to recover, but do you want to make it 5-10 with a mediocre Coach ? Because they are not going to get anyone any better at this point.

Freeze was named specifically for a level 1 violation, for violation of the head coaching responsibility rules.

It's a new day for the NCAA with that legislation. 'I didn't know about it' is no longer an excuse. Being that it is their new rule, I expect they will try to seriously enforce it to show that it isn't just window dressing.

Bowl revenue isn't the only thing they are going to be losing these next few years.

There isn't anyway to prove this because the NCAA doesn't put out a standard list for what the punishments are going to be with/without the current coach. We are both making educated guesses but I believe the NCAA is just going to be more pissed off if they end up keeping Freeze. Is getting rid of Freeze going to solve all the issues? Of course not but I believe it will help.
