Can NCAA say we are going to appeal & if we win, we are going to punish TT for any game Soresby played in?
Massive win for Cody Campbell. Tech saves its season AND outrage across college sports will push sentiment toward Federal intervention and the Score Act.
Everyone should just refuse to play them. **** it.
Gotta be more than that. The schools already know today that there aren't real rules. It's just a matter of who is willing push buttons first.
The real threat is disbanding the sports entirely. The only sport that NCAA doesn't run tournaments and championships in is D1 football. It does run them for everything else. Disband March Madness, disband all other titles and tournaments for all other sports. No more FCS playoffs, no more basketball titles, volleyball, wrestling, nothing. You can still have sports and teams, but you're all competing for nothing. That will beget change.
Actually, the NCAA can and should say we’ve ruled him ineligible and the courts have ruled he can play. But, we the NCAA can rule any game he participates in will be vacated and TT you can choose to field him at your own peril. No CFP no wins in any game he participates in. Let TT file suit and see if the courts will rule that the NCAa isn’t allowed to sanction member institutions for fielding g ineligible athletes…
Here's the precedent: if the consequences of breaking the rules could potentially cause you financial harm, then the rules did not apply and there are no consequences.
The problem with that is that the games still happened and all the checks still cleared. Does anybody really think Louisville didn't win the national title in 2013 because they vacated it?
Vacating wins is literally the dumbest 'punishment' of all time and does nothing at all to deter other schools from cheating.
I think they should rule any games vacated as soon as he steps on the field, no waiting till after the season. He is ineligible, the injunction allows him to remain, but it doesn’t preclude the NCAA to rule in real time…no need to vacate later but instantaneously. New precedent. Meaning even if they play and go undefeated they get no CFP and no wins.
Imagine coaches interviews getting blown out going into the locker room:
Brad: "and we go down to Tracy Wolfson with the coach - Tracy?"
Tracy: "thanks Brad, here with Dabo Swinney as the Tigers down going into half, what adjustments is your team going to make?"
Dabo: "Our boys are betting the points! Looking forward to the other side running it up after the break, courtesy of DraftKings!"
I also wonder if it's possible for the NCAA to say "fine, he can play, but you wont be allowed into the play off or bowl games".
Come to think of it. Would that be a way to enforce NIL salary cap? Teams can pay players as much as they want, but if anyone pays more than $21M, they wont be allowed into the playoff. Individual player compensation isn't being directly restricted at that point.
I don't think he is saying to "vacate" the wins, I think he is saying that you don't let them in the post season because they used an ineligible player.
