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.

Jeeze Maroon ... nobody is implying they forced him at gunpoint to give up cash ... coercion was the tool ... to remain eligible for collegiate athletics he had to give up the money. UGA also had a receiver (Green) that year that had to pay back the price of a dinner that representatives of the Bengals had bought him
