Great analysis of the Maason Smith situation and NCAA incompetence

Cliffs:
1. Smith's conduct happened about two weeks before NIL became legal.
2. NCAA will retro new rules to punish student-athletes but not help.
3. Other kids who broke this rule got to pick a game in 2022, so why can't Smith pick one in 2023? You are punishing a kid for getting injured.
4. He suggested that Smith get a lawyer and sue the shite out of the NCAA. Essentially this wouldn't hold up in court.
5. Even FSU fans he spoke to said this ruling was BS, and they benefit from it.

Maybe the guy in charge of enforcement is a former FSU AD?

Truthfully I hope Maason suits up and see’s what the NCAA will do with him on field. You’re gonna delay a nationally televised game until I sit out? Would be my question to the NCAA.

All of that is true and valid and its the most aggravating point of all this. This is why the NCAA needs to be abolished.

He should lawyer up. File an injunction or appeal to delay the suspension. Then the week of Georgia st game, he can drop the appeal and serve the suspension then

The US Supreme Court ruled athletes had the right to profit from their NIL on June 21st 2021.
How can Smith be punished for selling autographs in July of that year?

NCAA basically got sued and had to allow nil still punishing nil
Posted on 8/26/23 at 9:36 am to LSUTitan99
It’s even worse that Manziel only got half a game and he knowingly didn’t cooperate, lied, and was doing six figures of auto sessions when it was fully illegal
Smith tagged along to one session and from what we know he cooperated, yet he gets a full game?

I agree that this whole thing is stupid but what if he is still banged up so it actually ends up being the best game to miss? Not saying that’s the case but it is possible

LSU shouldn’t have disclosed the severity of the injury after the FSU game last year and let him be suspended for the Southern game.

frick the NCAA. They won't even exist in a few years...

Can anyone link the Sonny Shipp article he is referencing here? I would like to know all of the other players that were apparently caught up in this and got to choose what game they were suspended.

The only person that agrees with this ruling is Glenn Guilblow

No, they're punishing a kid for breaking the rules prior to NIL be official. And I'm pretty sure this wasn't a surprise to Mason Smith or CBK.

Change his number and put Boudreaux on the back of his jersey, the NCAA won't notice.

Great take by Josh Pate.
Posted on 8/26/23 at 6:38 pm to LSUTitan99
Within the next 5 years the sec and big 10 will rule football and the ncaa will be around for the lesser schools

Who is "in charge" of the NCAA? What is the provenance of its authority, so-called?

This is the crux of the entire issue. Just let them move it to Grambling. How friggin hard is that?
