It will be along the lines of the SMU punishment is my guess. It's a similar violation as the one that finally brought the Mustangs down.
Louisville's issue is that violations have been going on for years and years, with what seems like little interest in changing their ways. Pitino always claims he "didn't know" what was happening and throws someone else under the bus. So either he is a bald face liar or he is completely incompetent at running a program which then reflects back onto the administration. This whole scandal is deep and embedded in the fabric of the program from all appearances. The NCAA doesn't like that kind of thing.
They may lose a season of play, or they may just lose all scholarships for a couple years. Either way if the punishment is that harsh, it's effectively killing the program in the near future and inflicting hurt for at least a decade if not longer.
