The team needs these guys. They will soon be "working" their way back. The Ball family has $ and influence, plus talent.
With all of the issues that NCAA basketball coaches have had, I think that they will lose the whole season. The NCAA has been clear this is a UCLA issue which means that the NCAA will be watching what the university does in accordance with their published code of conduct. The men acknowledged that they did steal and were caught.
While I agree that the Ball family has some power here, I don't think other teams would want any of these guys this season. They are stuck in their own little jail of their own making. The team won' t trade winning season for being morally bankrupt. Basketball is big money but not as big as football so one more losing season with a higher moral ground is better than a winning season with players who have admitted to stealing in China.
I could be wrong but I have worked with college athletic recruiters. The world is different before this latest net that threw Pittino out into the open.
