They might have 2-4 players left that are eligible to play.

Xavier, on the other hand, may not lose so many. I only say the players and a couple more near the incident. Looks like most of their bench players stayed away.
I would think they could stagger out the suspensions...sort of like what happened in the NBA Playoffs a while back when the Knicks and Heat got into a bench clearing brawl. By rule, there must be 8 players dressed for an NBA game, and if they would have enforced the one game suspensions for everyone that left the bench, none of the teams would have had 8 players dressed...so they staggered the suspensions out by last name alphabetical order..and it's now the rule.

Of course, I'm betting they'll just suspend the worst offenders and not worry about the players that came off the bench and didn't participate much.
