This is the effective end of the road for the NCAA. This ruling and its effects ends them as a governing body. While in actuality they will linger around for a little longer, they are dead.

We will definitely see the long rumored legislation get voted on.

What do you think happens over the next 5 years?

Would anyone be surprised if the SEC and Big 10 just say "enough" and break off sooner rather than later?

I think a lot depends on whether Sorsby is on the field Week 1 or not. The NCAA is probably dead one way or another, but that will determine how fast.

NCAA needs to grow a pair and drop TT as a member institution.

If they do not, they are willingly allowing a university to play a player that the NCAA has said should be ineligible.

It is now an integrity of the sport issue…way worse than Chambliss.

The reason they died is the same reason they fought so hard for so long to maintain their power: Greed

Am I the only one who understands that a single ruling from a state judge in Lubbock, Texas is not binding anywhere outside of the state of Texas? May not be binding outside of this judge's courtroom. And may not be binding anywhere in Texas depending on what happens on appeal?

I don't know what's worse: the state of college sports or the state of the idiots covering the sport.

Doesn’t the NCAA have some leverage? It’s a privilege not a right to play college sports. No one is entitled to play. It isn’t against someone’s rights to be denied eligibility correct?

Call me cynical but I don’t see where the big two conferences breaking off does anything to solve this. The conferences are filled with programs run at win at all cost directives with tons of rich boosters to back that. I suppose they can make it an unofficial minor league but I don’t see where this improves much.

It has unraveled since then

This line of thinking went out the window with the NIL ruling.

Part of the deal his lawyers made is that he sits out the first 2 games.

shouldn't the Big 12 step in and slap down Texas Tech? How is this fair to the other members of that conference?

The only thing stopping the super league is TV contracts and governance. Once that gets ironed out, the NCAA will go away.

Then I think you see some sort of CBA, more private equity, and a much more pro model, which is awful for everyone involved.

Small price to pay for the BIG to finally become competitive with the SEC. Recently we've been blessed with the type of parity that's given us national titles mired in a cheating scandal, one that was ready to fire their coach before getting hot at the right time, and one that was completely lighting in a bottle and totally unsustainable.

it could at least, hopefully, create a system that has clearly defined rules and regulations and take upon themselves to rule with an iron fist to uphold those rules

I don’t fundamentally understand the ruling. Are they saying that even if Sorsby killed an opposing player on the field, the NCAA has no authority to suspend him? Because I don’t see any other interpretation.

Cincinnati should probably be the one being punished, considering they knew he gambled and didn't report it. Sorsby hasn't played a down for Tech
