So what's the deal. Is everything cool or are we going to lose our coach as Dickhead V. was screaming?

It’s coming the month after the next one. Per sources.

Wade got the NCAA to furlough most of their employees so he could get off scott free.
Random thought: does anyone know the origin of the term "scott free"? What does that actually mean in a literal sense?

Dick got the wrong guy. It’s actually Will Wade, not Will Wade. It was an honest mistake. Just mixed up the first and last name starting letters.

From the internet:
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, an archaic definition of “scot” is “a tax or tribute paid by a feudal tenant to his or her lord or ruler in proportion to ability to pay; a similar tax paid to a sheriff or bailiff.” Examples of old “scots” include soulscots (which were paid to clergy or church from the estate of a deceased person), Rome-scots (paid to the papacy in pre-Reformation days) and scot-ales (basically mandatory parties with mandatory cover charges).
So in medieval days, to get away scot-free would mean not having to pay taxes or fees, or even at times, the broader definition that we still use today of simply getting away with something without penalty. Early recorded uses of scot-free go back to 1528 and range from condemnations of the Catholic Church to pieces of literature.

Was really hoping there was some elaborate story about a guy named scot that got away free.

Don't see anything happening until after the season.
I think the most will do is accept LSU's tournament suspensions and maybe vacate some games if only they can determine if any player received anything which is highly unlikely at this point.

So what's the deal.

Rest assured that Yahoo will run another article or three in March. Provided there is a March Madness

You might be thinking of buck naked.

Medieval tax. If you got by without paying the tax, you were 'scot free'. You're welcome.
