may not be that simple. It will depend in part on who is actually sanctioned. If the boosters are not sanctioned themselves, but the school is, the boosters may not have standing to sue. Having money and lawyers doesn’t give standing.
Wrong. The boosters can claim the NCAA is harming their business. It’s called tortious interference. It’s a thing. And they absolutely could sue.

That may or may not be. It depends on how the NCAA sanctions the school. The fact it may harm the booster’s business isn’t enough to constitute tortuous interference. They have to prove intent to interfere, not simply that it resulted from sanctions against the school. The NCAA could still sanction the school and the fact that a booster suffers harm indirectly will not give rise to tortious interference, even if the NCAA knows that may result in harm to the booster’s interests.
