don’t know how Joey McGuire could put him on the field even if he is eventually ruled eligible. He’s already amply demonstrated that he can’t be trusted. First time he throws an int or fumbles, it’s gonna be suspect.
Very simply, Joey McGuire is getting paid $7 million per year to win football games, and if he doesn’t win enough to satisfy the fans/donors, he will get fired.

NCAA must have the most inept attorneys known and are wide open to much more aggressive suits. They are so scared of liability and award of damages that they lay down to these liberal judges with an agenda. They need to be aggressively taking this bank on appeal or new trial. Seeking a court outside of Lubbock that has a judge that can make a ruling without fear of his hometown college teams alumnus voting him out of office.

Fans are getting everything we wanted.
The NCAA is laughing at us now and wagging a finger in our faces
"See, we told you so"
Remember NCAA hard lines in the sand? Remember the 0 tolerance?
Remember the fines and investigations?
Remember Gus Piazza?
Remember the Gestapo tactics?
Remember the scholarship denials? The W/L records erased? The ineligible post season penalty?
Yep, we asked for all this
Let them transfer, eliminate the sitting out of eligibility, pay them.
Now, let them gamble. What does it matter now? What's the difference? All this talk about college sports is dead.... NOW? It died years ago with the portal and NIL.
Let's not be hypocritical or pearl clutching or astounded. College sports is home to sleazy donors, corrupt ADs, non-devoted athletes, and rabid fans. And we're all out here pretending that allowing them to gamble now is going to destroy us.
Real Funny
The NCAA is like...."ok, yeah, we'll go to court sure, but we don't care"

Must be.
Can someone explain it to me like I’m 5… how is the ncaa preventing athletes from making money? What is stopping a player from playing in the Canadian league or just walking into an open NFL tryout?
All the NCAA is saying is that if you want to play in our organization you have to play by these rules. Just have every player sign a contract with the ncaa before they start playing.
If you don’t like it then go walk onto a NFL team.
In that perspective it’s obvious colleges are giving a lot to these students even if it’s not monetary. They are giving them exposure and basically an internship to professional football.
But that’s not enough, it’s never enough.
Internships in college get paid very little for the work they do but you are sacrificing in the hopes that you will get a big job with the big company when you graduate.

But, they are compensated with a free education, stipends, etc. As for the transfer rule, how can they force an athlete to stay at a school? I guess they can force them to sit out a year, but I'm not even sure of that. Any local judge will immediately make that athlete eligible .
As far as transfers, the NFL calls it a contract. They sign a 3 or 4 year contact with a team and they want to “transfer” after a year or two - “nope”. The lack of an enforceable contract is the one thing that is making college sports garbage right now. Teams need a commitment to a team for a reasonable length of time or chaos reigns.

Why does the amount he bet matter? There is a ton of things he could have bet on other than the games of the team he was playing for. An action that there was a known consequence for. He did it anyway.

The moral outrage on this one is off the charts.
I agree with most that he shouldn’t be allowed to play.
However, why is this the line everybody draws in the sand?
Beat up women? Cool
Steal, rob, etc.? Cool
Drunk, reckless, etc. driving? Cool
Illegal weapons? Cool
Illegal drugs? Cool
Take other schools players and coaches? Cool
That and the song here would’ve been totally different had LSU landed the kid like they wanted to.

What about the definite irreparable injury to the sport, Your Honor. This is absolutely insane. I relish the time when judges ruled with passionate indifference.

I subscribe to the idea being floated about banning them from post season play. Ok, the ncaa is toothless, but it's a whole different governing body for the playoffs. The playoff committee should basically say ok you want to play a qb that bet on the sport, that's fine, you can't participate in the playoffs, that simple. They look like asses for paying however million for a qb and can't even get a shot at winning a championship. Problem solved, well this one anyone but obviously the whole system needs an overhaul.

Ending free unlimited transfers accomplishes something similar and easier to enforce/regulate I'd think.
These kids want to be paid, but they also don't want to sit out a season if they're trying to prove themselves for the NFL.
I think no free transfers until after three years removed from high school or unless the head coach leaves. If guys want to end their career somewhere else as a senior, so be it.

Basically, that's what a collective bargaining agreement is. And it seems like it will eventually be the only option.

If we take this to the extreme, which is quite possible, there will not be eligibility restrictions in the future. No restrictions, no term limits, no attendance requirements, no gpa requirements, etc. As long as
the sport can support education financially, it’s a go. A physical campus will no longer be a thing. It almost isn’t a thing anymore, anyway. The sec will breakaway from the rest of the conferences and become self regulated. But that will only last as a small vestige of amateur sports for so long. Only The Ivy League will remain a true amateur sports programs because their insanely rich endowments will support it.

What next? Texas Tech loses a game despite their most noble of efforts of tortilla throwing and sues so a judge can rule it a win?

I believe Pete Rose was removed from the permanently ineligible list (gambling related) and is now eligible for the Hall of Fame.
