Since when does the bylaw state that the player had to have knowledge of the solicitation of funds for him to be deemed ineligible? Am I missing something?
The NCAA knows the solicitation took place, the bylaw states that soliciting funds is an infraction. How is Cam eligible?
The pounding the NCAA is taking in the press for the loophole precedent they have now set will cause them to react to this situation again IMO.

And what bylaw is that?

Because the NCAA rules on each individual case based on the information it has at the time.
I'm sure the fact that AU is undefeated and one game away from the BCSCG weighed heavily in the speed in which they ruled on his eligibility, which is as it should be.
I agree that the investigation is far from over, and that more information could come to light which will cause the NCAA to revisit this decision. Perhaps they just wanted to end the foolish speculation that Cam would not be eligible for either the SECCG or, potentially, the BCSCG.
At any rate, despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth on this and other forums, the NCAA took what they considered appropriate action for this case. YMMV.
