I'm sure not too many supporters and alumni will dwell much on these infractions [and past] because the big pay checks keep coming their way along with the prestige of membership in a power conference. That said, they are the first program to have a national title vacated and they had 123 wins removed spanning over 4 seasons. IIRC they also had to return the NCAA tournament money received through conference revenue shares for those four seasons. Those aren't "smack the hand" penalites but nothing short of the "death penalty" would really impact them long term.

Death penalty wouldn't even hurt them...they are ACC, P5, flush with $$$. They could wait out the year and be back immediately after the ban. It's the P5 membership that buffers them against all this...and as a power school, they won't be shed into G5.
