Old news. Head coach served a three game suspension at the start of the season.

True that one time Charlotte coach Katie Meier served a suspension at beginning of the season but this initial NIL ruling just handed down last week.

Well, that makes no sense :thinking:

I suspect that the suspension came from within the Miami-FL AD as part of their publicly stated cooperation with the NCAA investigation back in November.

clt says this is interesting, NIL was not vetted

Why is this an issue. Seems like they are trying to infringe on her right to earn under NIL.

This particular issue is possible academic misconduct per the schoolā€™s code of student conduct, not whether sheā€™s making money or not.

Surely she wasnā€™t dumb enough to actually do an assignment with that program. Itā€™s just an add.

Not sure where to post this so Iā€™ll leave it here but can you force the league ivy to actually start giving out athletic scholarships?

They better be careful. Some Ivyā€™s may call their bluff and just cancel the sport(s).

These schools have a pretty long history of sports, would be surprised if they cancel. I suppose you can argue that these players are expected to to do more than a typical walk-on in terms of practices and games (making it more like unpaid labor), but it would seem the easy counter is if they donā€™t like it, donā€™t sign up for it. This lawsuit would seem to argue that walk-on players shouldnā€™t exist, which would kill a lot of lower-level D-1 and D-2 sports programs. And how does D3 operate then as well?

They can keep the teams and just turn them into club teams.

Or drop to D-III.
