It’s crazy that in a few short years, everyone went from going Pro in 3 years to suing..

I mean what authority does the NCAA even have to limit eligibility? They are getting slaughtered in the courts.

Making every school that "self-imposed" sanctions on themselves in the past look like fools.

I know a lot of LSU fans were mad they canned Wade, citing how weak the NCAA is. After what we know now, what in the world would the NCAA have done if LSU said screw you were keeping him?

Something like 5 years to play 4, sitting out a year if you transfer within the same division, while being paid for doing promotional work on the side? Signing autographs, being in a commercial for a local business, or maybe a national brand like the Dr. Pepper Fansville commercials. Yeah, that would be great.

Count this guy as one who was vocal (keybord typing) about keeping Will Wade. Worst they could have done was a 1 year postseason ban. Welp, as predicted, we are curretnly on a 4 year postseason ban due to Scott Woodward''s awful hiring process.

They have all the authority. Schools plaything the NCAA… they can rule how they want.

Pretty simple

I think they were threatening to dig into the football program and reveal some allegedly pretty bad allegations and were using Wade as leverage/sacrficial lamb

That’s Moscona carrying water for Woodward to justify to the public the firing of Wade.

I see a merchandising opportunity for reclaimed victories and championships.

Print the shirts! Again!

They were given authority by their member schools. Thats what the NCAA is. The fact that their member's continue to try to fight them at every turn is stupid. It'd be like an NFL franchise suing the NFL.

If you want to play for a member school, you have to follow the membership rules.

Maybe.

But what isn’t crazy is people doing what’s best for their own interests.
