you're trying to connect athletes suing for extra years of eligibility with gambling. It's not a good argument.
No, I'm connecting that pretty much everything that is taken to court will rule in favor of the player over the NCAA, no matter how heinous the matter is.

No argument there buddy but the NCAA is to blame as well. They wanted to keep all the revenue.

so how did the NCAA win their cases against Alabama and Tennessee? The NCAA losing a civil suit over one issue doesn't make it more or less likely they'll lose in a completely unrelated matter. This isn't even in the same ballpark of legal issues they've lost in the past.

Isn't players and coaches betting on their teams' games illegal? Why is he not facing criminal charges?

There are two things everyone knows get you permabanned- 1. Shaving points 2. betting on your own team
Wasn’t there couple of players last week that were permanently banned for gambling, I think one of the HBCU’s?
Will be interesting to see if they sue based on this ruling.

I saw this. Why can’t I use this defense to take part in insider trading? It would help me a lot.

I don't disagree that gambling is clear cut however I do think they brought this storm on themselves again speaking generally.

Yep, lawyers are literally falling over themselves to try and rep an NCAA athlete right now.
It's what they love the most: free money & free shameless publicity

Honestly I respect continuing to lean on the mental health angle as an excuse. Ride it until it fails

All sports are dead. How will any league be able to enforce their rules against gambling.
Apparently there are no rules for college athletes betting on their own team going forward.

They've won lawsuits against:
Kai Johnson at Montana (basketball)
Ryan Smith / Tre'Shon Devones / Cam Bergeron / J.J. Jones from Duke and UNC (football)
Zakai Zeigler at Tennessee (basketball)
Joey Aguilar at Tennessee (football)
Charles Bediako at Alabama
Langston Patterson at Vanderbilt (football) (he was part of the Pavia class action suit. They lost at trial although Pavia was granted a temp injunction in 2024)
Chandler Morris at UVA (football)
Here's a list with a pretty decent breakdown of other cases that didn't get as much media attention. LINK
The NCAA's batting average isn't as low as you think it is
All these lawsuits have shown is state court judges are more likely to give favorable rulings. This has nothing to do with the NCAA and their positions on amateurism. It's just the same type of home cooking lawyers have benefitted from in all areas of law for all of time.

That statement is absurd.
I don't care if he does have a gambling addiction, which I think they made up. If you bet on your own team, lifetime ban from that league. Period. Regardless of sport or level.
If a guy murders someone, is it ok if he's diagnosed with sociopathy or he has a heroin addiction? Do we just give him a support system and let him live freely?
Extreme analogy, but there are rules you just cannot break. And we, collectively, as a society agree on this. How can anyone think it is ok for him to play college football again?

Yeah this is insane

While it can, likely successfully, be argued that NIL/transfer portal has severely hurt the integrity of the game, the actual games are still settled on the field in honest manner.
If we open the floodgates to players gambling on their own games, all is lost. You cannot do this. Death of a sport follows.

Oh but it is though, and it's only going to get worse as more unconstitutional rulings get levied over this next decade.
We are still in the beginning wild, wild, west stages of the NIL era.
