But I argued for it because the ncaa can't take away someone's rights (i.e. Sony Michel's ability to make music and profit from it.).
This is enteresting. I could be wrong, but I don't think the NCAA only has jurisdiction over football. His ability to make money with his music would be out of their purview, I think.
I mean, for years other conferences had football players that played other sports professionally at a point. As long as it was not football it was ok. It was the SEC that had a rule in which if someone played any sport professionally they could not be considered an amateur for Football. (The SEC has changed that rule now)
I think Michel could have made money with his music as long as it was kept separate from football.
Of course, I could be misremembering or just plain wrong, too.

It was not out of purview.
They were impermissible benefits. If anyone with a UGA ball cap listened to a download, it was against the rules. I.e. UGA couldn't prevent the violation so the opportunity to make money of being Sony Michel was stripped.

They didn't do it simultaneously.
Their eligibility clock was deemed to not be activated because they were playing minor league baseball, in the military, or doing a religious mission trip.
No one played professional baseball while they were a student athlete. No one played professional baseball after they were a student athlete and then returned back to being a student athlete.
