What college teams or conferences really have a leg to stand on these days?

"The ramifications of today's ruling are significant and could have broad impacts across college athletics, creating great concern amongst our membership. I've been consulting with our key stakeholders and have scheduled a meeting with our Conference ADs and our Executive Board this week. We are also in touch with Charlie Baker and anticipate the NCAA to appeal the order in the next 24-48 hours. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the situation."

TCU athletic director Mike Buddie and Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor both told ESPN that there's been informal chatter in the league about schools not playing Texas Tech this year.
"We anticipate having conversations surrounding it," Buddie told ESPN. "We're all anticipating it, but this has not been formally discussed."
The Big 12 athletic directors are set to have a conference call tomorrow with commissioner Brett Yormark, according to sources, to discuss the Texas Tech situation.

You actually looked up the politics of several judges across the country? What percentage were conservative?
I think the more important question is whether the judges making these rulings either graduated from or donated to the school being affected by the ruling. Seems like it would be a pretty clear conflict of interest.

We watch the games to see who comes out on top in mostly fair competition. Would we still watch, participate in tailgating/festivities or support our schools athletics if a player from our team took a dive for pay?
I know youre a contrarian fig just for kicks and im feeding the troll but even you realize this affects the outcomes of the games. Try harder.

I can see this case being used in Congress to advance the current legislation.

oh it will be. I think this is probably the moment where everyone looks around and agrees that college sports has gone too far and opts for legislation. current bill as proposed I don't think helps change all that much unless they are serious about giving NCAA antitrust exemption

The thing with gambling is that it makes players care about things other than winning.

The NCAA is toothless. The conferences are going to have to start policing themselves somehow.

I think this will be a bridge too far for many. No one has strongly complained about the judges, granting extra years of eligibility because all teams can foresee a scenario where they would want that to happen for themselves. However, most universally agreed that a player betting on games involving his own team was off-limits. Here, you have a friendly local judge who is basically blowing up well set precedence over decades of sports - gambling on your own games = automatic disqualification.

There’s an easy solution to this problem. NCCA says Sorsby and Chambliss are ineligible, a judge says they aren’t. Let them play and state that any wins gained if those players participate are automatically vacated. They can play, but their teams are automatically ineligible for the conference championship and the CFP

So she didn’t die and 2 football players weren’t involved? But do what you do best and give the players a pass and pretend it didn’t happen just so you win games. No different than TT going to bat for Sorsby.

NCAA can’t do that. They don’t run the CC or the CFP. This is why I said the conferences are going to have to start policing themselves.
The conferences are going to have to actually back the ineligible ruling and say that their banned from conference play and will forfeit any conference game that the player participates. Non-conference games would have to stand. Then the CFP committee needs to make a statement by honoring the record to include forfeitures.
The NCAA can’t do anything other then declare them ineligible and hope the conferences back their decision.
At that point the fight becomes with the conference, which is much messier for its members.
ETA: The conferences are also going to have to figure out how to hit them where it really hurts, their rev share.

I have a question. So the judge is a Texas judge. I can see how he has jurisdiction over Texas Tech's home games but what about their away games? Why would Sorsby be considered eligible in Kansas or Iowa etc? Does the judge have jurisdiction there? The NCAA does
