Tech’s Cody Campbell says no one has authority to enforce any rules

Was I supposed to type something here?
I don't believe he's wrong. Money is indeed king, and he oughta know this better than anybody.

What is important here is that he's saying the quiet part out loud: The system is easily manipulated, and many Programs are happy to do so, and no "enforcement" apparatus exists to stop or even curtail them. Campbell is vilified personally, but who is contradicting his point?

Well the NCAA has not been doing much of anything lately other than drawing big paychecks. Right now it is a free for all. I will say though, if you are gambling on the sport you play, you should be banned from playing.

Yep. With no enforcement agreement in effect, and what I suspect are several district courts willing to rule on the basis of irreparable harm and the ability to earn, NIL is a free-for-all imo.

If the "ability to earn" is the standard, I don't see how any rule would stand legally.

If I'm 31 years old and a college wants to pay me to play basketball or football, why shouldn't I be able to play? If I played two games for X university and Y university offers me lots of money to finish the season playing for them, why shouldn't I be able to?

The courts have stripped the NCAA's ability to enforce rules for eligibility, so legally I think anyone should be able to play for any team at any time. Why not? Anything other than that hinders one's ability to earn, does it not?

It certainly opens that can. I would hope for more narrow rulings I suppose. I’m no lawyer by a far sight. I believe the only thing that fixes this is an anti-trust exemption and labor agreement.

I agree. I don't see how any challenge to eligibility stands up in court, unless judges just decide arbitrarily that certain rules are ok and others aren't. And if "one's ability to earn" is the precedent, that approach sounds really flimsy from a legal standpoint.

There is the issue that every team/school that is under the NCAA umbrellas did so via formal agreement that included the rules to be enforced.

When someone wakes up and argues that line of reasoning ...

I heard him speak a few weeks back on a panel alongside our chancellor (TCU) and a TAMU guy. He basically said, the system is broken and needs to be fixed. Until that time, he plans to work within the current broken system to give his team any advantage that is allowed. But he did say that he recognizes the playing field is not level and smaller private schools with limited resources have restricted ability to compete.

He is a typical wildcatter; he tells it like it is and plays the game within the boundaries given.

FWIW: He is a TCU fan (outside of when playing Tech), lives in Fort Worth and his kids go to All Saints (where he is on the Board). He was at a couple of Frog basketball games this season.

Ask Alabama how that worked out. Imagine if you will, a time and place where Alabama football was getting boat raced by Rice.

Back when the playing field was far more level than it is today...when the NCAA had enforcement power because the colleges and university agreed to abide by the rules and NCAA sanctions if needed...then along came Bear Bryant, Darrell Royal, Frank Broyles, Jackie Sherrill, etc....

I won't be happy until a player can be lighting up another team, a timeout is called, a booster from the opposing team comes down to the playing surface to give that athlete a big check, that athlete makes a decision to then join the opposing team, and simply puts on that jersey. At that point, that athlete could either finish the game or wait for the next time out for a booster on the previous team to pay them to come back.
