Short of losing to (insert a few bad ACC teams here), I wouldn't say they're in danger of missing the tourney. They certainly won't be getting a great seed, but they'll be in, barring crazy circumstances. But I share your rooting interest in cheering against Dooke.

They announced that they were self penalizing over the escort service scandal and were giving up the postseason. I hope the NCAA says that's not enough and hammers them.

Take away their 2013 championship and fine the 'Vile 120% of what they were paid that year.

I wish the NCAA would punish egregious violations by pulling tournament credits and schollys, not by taking away postseason play. So many times all that does is punish players who were not involved. Hit 'em where it hurts, in the wallet and by trimming schollys. That they really fear.

They also need to hang violations on the coaches involved - make them take their penalty with them if they change jobs instead of leaving a mess behind and getting off scott free. If these dirtbags knew that was going to happen and that they would become much less able to get a job, they would think twice before the monkey business starts.

The NCAA also needs to marginalize "self-imposed" penalties that allow the schools to set their own punishment. This punishment is drastically skewed to the benefit of the school. SMiss self-imposed post -season penalties when they had no chance at any post-season activity anyway - so penalty does nothing. There was even talk of red-shirting some players during the self-imposed punishment time so they'd be available when punishment ended. Louisville self-imposed this year to protect their future recruiting. The NCAA should accept these penalties and add to them...

Duke has an excellent chance of finishing 2-5 . If they finish at 9-9 in conference, I still think the committee will find a way to screw the little guy out of a seat to fit coach K in one time.
