I have a feeling we won't see the "death penalty" handed down by the NCAA 
for quite some time.  It completely devastated SMU's program, and they still 
have not recovered.  They likely never will.  I'm not saying it wasn't 
deserved for SMU (I really don't know much of the details), but I am saying 
that I'm sure it's not something the NCAA would hand out without considering 
*many* alternatives.  Then again ,it is the NCAA...
