The Southeastern Conference is almost certainly on the precipice of a banner year for NCAA Tournament berths. Just which of those teams will receive them, though, and what might happen with them when they get there, will continue to be a mystery of the wildest proportions.
Louisville will have to vacate its 2013 national championship per an NCAA decision. It’s an incredible result, and as much as school officials would love to just move on, the reality is that doing so is not going to be as easy as they would like it to be.
