The hypocrisy of the situation is that UNC fans have been assuming their team has been clean this whole time. How else could Duke and Kentucky be winning recruiting battles like this except if the other blue bloods were cheating? Well how now, brown cow?
The argument I expect they will make: Now that the FBI and NCAA are applying pressure, it is a level playing field. The recruits are committing to UNC because Coach K can't pay them anymore.
The reality is and always has been about open roster spots. By having a large group of players graduate or leave in 2019, there were suddenly a lot of roster spots. That means that Roy could finally sell playing time to a large class. Instead of getting one or two McDonald's All-Americans every year, he can offer 3 or 4 of them a chance at minutes every year. This is the new reality. Once you get on the train, it doesn't slow down.
