The NCAA will try to make themselves look good by coming down hard on the violators. Duke being on the list is a big black eye for NCAA Basketball. If true, it could tarnish the reputation of Coach K, whom was probably the most respected name in the sport.
Reading through about half a dozen "reports" the biggest violation I can find tied to Duke is that one players mother, (Wendell Carter) had lunch with someone that worked for the agent. $70. Yet the sensationalism of these "journalists" lets them claim that Duke is among 20 schools involved in a Federal Investigation.
It will be interesting to see how they handle a minor infraction versus more serious ones such as loans to HS and College athletes, pay to play, etc.

I wish we were winning enough games to arouse suspicion from an investigator.
