The simple fix in this case is for the NCAA to remind all member institutions that the playoff and bowls are still "selected" and the courts are not a part of that process. So you can play your ineligible player but you won't be a part of any post season endeavors.
Agreed. Let him play this season but announce if he does that is taken into account during the selection process. Basically a shadow playoff ban without coming out and saying itQuote:

This is the only way that makes sense. The medical redshirt muddies the water too muchQuote:

It's unfair to the players who didn't game the system and only got 4 years too.Quote:

Everything about college athletics has become a joke and now schools can just have their own judges make whatever rulings they want no matter what the NCAA rules are. What a farce. And will add that MSU not having a law school is becoming a HUGE disadvantage in athletics.
Well bama lost that appeal. OM will likely lose the appeal - just will the appeal be heard in time.Quote:

why should they be allowed to play 5 years instead of 4? Why 1 more year than high school?Quote:

Because 5 to play 4 has always been a thing.Quote:

What would be interesting is if ncaa rules on tampering and UM can't make a post season game this year plus other restrictions. They picked this fight at the wrong time.
NCAA lost one battle UM gave them the war victory by blatantly cheating.
