The scandal that hit about 5 months ago...and then seemed to vanish, is about to re-emerge and, as they say, "blow the lid off the sucker". The hearings into the corruption have been ongoing and are now just about wrapped up and the info that is about to come out, to quote some close to the investigation, will "change the face of college basketball forever".
The biggest change may come about because of what schools end up being involved (the majority will be blue-bloods). It is being surmised that at least one or more of this year's Final Four will be in danger of having to give back the trophy, if they win.
The biggest change to come out of this will probably be the split between the Power 5 and the rest of college sports. The money in college sports is not going away because of this scandal, and the easiest way to change the rules, to make it fit your needs, is to form your own organization.
This situation may well cause the much talked about split in college football AND college basketball at the same time. The Power 5 conferences will run their own game and The NCAA may well be left to run the rest of college sports, but just NOT the high dollar end. How that changes the landscape for teams and schools like W&M and the CAA is yet to be known, but it will be different from what it is now.
