It didn't get applied to Penn State. It didn't get applied to Baylor. It will NOT get applied to UNC, Louisville or any other school going forward. We'll see the NCAA allow players to get paid outright before we see another school get the death penalty.

People need to understand what the 'death penalty' actually is. It's actuallly called the 'repeat violators clause'. It's for repeat violators. Meaning already on probation. UNC won't get it, Baylor won't get it, and Penn St didn't get it because they weren't 'eligible' for that penalty. They weren't already on probation, although I'm sure there were other reasons as well.

I doubt it gets handed out again, so in that I agree. But IF it ever were, it's going to be UofL. This is like an example story in the NCAA handbook. On probation, caught on tape with a staff member saying he knows they have to be careful about breaking the rules because they are on probation, then leaping right into breaking the rules. Not sure it comes to it, but it's definitely a real possibility for UofL, but it is not for UNC.
