    OK then someone explain to me how they 'forced' Gurley to donate his own money? At gunpoint? Took over his bank account? I just don't see how the NCAA could forcibly take anyone's personal finances away. I mean we are talking about the NCAA here, not the IRS.

    ETA: As I expected, you guys are totally off on this. The NCAA suspended Gurley unless he paid back the NIL money he earned. The NCAA had NO power to get to the money or stop Gurley from getting paid. They only had the power to prevent Gurley from playing college football. Gurley could have told the NCAA to go screw themselves and kept the money and waited for the draft if that had been his choice. I said from the very first that taking eligibility was exactly the only thing the NCAA could do but they have no power to stop an NIL payment. The courts have now apparently told the NCAA that they can't set their own eligibility rules.
