They can't shut it down from a sheer financial standpoint. Even if they trot a bunch of walk-ons out there the school will still make money but zero chance they shut the program down for a year and take that kind of hit. Its simple... remove everyone associated with Pitino and Jurich from the athletic department and move on (which is what should have been done after Katina). You aren't going to be able to field a basketball team worth going to the tournament for three years so bite that bullet too.
