I guess we will see if the NCAA does get involve which I expect they will at some point and if they ever can get someone to talk or enough evidence, which I highly doubt, what they decide if they determine all the players in question were deemed ineligible but yet the schools were unaware. A lot of talk even of the local sports radio here in NC that if schools can demonstrate they were not aware of the agent involvement the punishment would not be as severe for said school.
That's true, the punishment won't be nearly as severe because they won't get hit with FTM and LOIC, which is what cripples programs for long periods.
I don't know why anyone would think they can't obtain enough evidence though; if a Yahoo reporter can get it, the NCAA certainly can... and there's mountains of it already on paper.
In fact, they don't even have to request it from any reporter. I suspect what they'll likely do is use subpoena power to get all those records and justify it by saying they need it to pursue criminal complaints against agents.
One thing all these new state laws regulating professional sports agents has accomplished is that now the involved parties can obtain legal subpoenas for records, receipts, transcripts, transfers, deposits, withdrawals, texts, e-mails, etc., etc..
