If I'm A&M, I play him no matter what they say. Vacation doesn't take away the publicity or the money, and A&M isn't winning shite without him, so what's the downside?


It's either lose 5 games without him or make money on a vacated season. They gon' take da money...

If they play him when the NCAA recommends that they don't, then it also becomes an institutional issue and not just a player issue. LOIC can set a program back for years.

Yeah cause A&M is poor.

A&M will fall in line just like every program that that the NCAA punishes.

If they played him this season, then they'd lose money from the bowl and conference championship bans they could received. Additionally, all their wins with him would be vacated. What would happen if he was ruled ineligible yet played against and beat Alabama? The game shouldn't count. How do you deal with such a loss in the BCS Standings? You'd have to treat it as if the game had never been played. Additionally, this would only hurt Alabama's strength of schedule.
