I was one of the only 2 that voted that they are in better shape. Their roster is loaded and will likely continue to be that way. True that Tressel's attempted cover-up is what will bring the hammer down, but there are kids who will still bleed to play on the team, regardless. The only way this will have a huge impact is if the next coaching staff is sub-par.
You know, like Kiffin at USC. They are still pulling in highly regarded kids with the scholarships they have, and if I recall correctly, they "lose" 10 per year, but still allowed to have 75 scholarship players on the roster at any given time. To me, that really boils down to 10 scholarships missing... unless i am way off base. Teams that can pull in the highly regarded players are fine, as long as they get proper coaching. Unfortunately, it takes extra work to convince a kid to come to a bad situation at Nebraska than it does to somewhere else with a "bad situation", like OSU or USC.
Please school me if I have misunderstood the scholarship situation.
