I hope so. I also think that perhaps the public humiliation (which is what they fear the most) might cause them to cut him loose. I'll be hopeful, but that piece of shit just seems to embody the "when good things happen to bad people" trope. I'd love to see him fail spectacularly in a nationally publicized manner.
That happened Friday when Pettiti met with Ono ....
Like, I dunno about much in the way of legal defenses , as long as they fulfill the due process requirement here
which is no shit, only this:
10.3.1 Commissioner’s Discretion, Timeliness, and Due Process. The Commissioner has the discretion to pursue, or choose not to pursue, an investigation as to whether an offensive action has occurred. In the event the Commissioner decides to pursue such an investigation, the Commissioner shall commence the investigation as expeditiously as possible upon notification that such an offensive action may have occurred. Upon commencement of such an investigation, the Commissioner shall determine, as expeditiously as possible, whether an offensive action did occur. Any involved institution or individual at risk of disciplinary action shall be provided an opportunity, which may be waived, to offer its or his or her position as to whether an offensive action occurred. The timeframe within which an institution or individual shall provide its or his or her position shall be set by the Commissioner, and shall be reasonable in light of the circumstances. Upon determination that an offensive action did occur, the Commissioner shall, as expeditiously as possible, determine whether disciplinary action should be imposed, and if so, what it should be.
The other kicker is...
10.3.3.2.1 Interim Action. Prior to receiving approval, the Commissioner may impose as interim action any lesser disciplinary action (i.e., any disciplinary action for which prior approval would not be required), which shall be in effect until the JGEC has had the opportunity to review and act upon any proposed major disciplinary actions.
Which basically means you don't have to pick between "Standard" and "Major" actions up front, the Commissioner can impose the minor one at his discretion while JGEC can review a major infraction.
So, and I'm sorry I got 30 pages behind over the weekend and as a result, I skimmed a lot. Do we know if the B1G has notified them that they are likely to be the subject of disciplinary action, because that's step 1. (Well, I mean other than the cheating)
I'm drawing on the double reverse negative anti-karma here...
And the TSUN signed off on all of this by being a member of the conference. The more resistance and arrogance that they show, the harder the hammer is going to fall. And, be assured, the NCAA is keeping a close watch on everything. There is a dark cloud over Ann Arbor and a costly storm is on it's way. I long for the day that their idol is cast to the ground and shattered into pieces.

I was sort of rooting for the blackmail angel to be honest…
PSU just beat MD and put 51 points on them. They may have broken through and figured out their offensive issues. So, things may get interesting for the TCUN in Happy Valley.
