Testimony that the NCAA could use to sanction the football program.

It'll be hard to get a proven coach as long as NCAA sanctions are an unknown. While Pete's departure suggests that the outcome of the investigation may be severe, who knows? SC can easlily overcome minor sanctions but who wants to step into a severly penalized program? It will be interesting who they end up with. Whovever they get will likely be a placeholder for the "name" coach who comes in after sanctions.
