What did the SEC and NCAA stand to lose if Cam were found not eligible?
What would the NCAA stand to lose?
On the other hand, if they declared him ineligible and it was later overturned, then I could easily see the NCAA standing to lose a considerable amount, especially given the precedent from their previous legal battles within the State of Alabama.

The NCAA's most marketable item.
A Heisman trophy winner playing in the BCSCG.
Sell TV ads with Oregon versus TCU, and tell me the networks are going to be satisfied.
The SEC stood to lose 17 million on one BCS game alone.
If the NCAA declared Cam ineligible, the only thing they stood to gain was integrity. They lose tons of money. I'm not sure how to calculate viewing points and commercial time, etc., but I'm going to guess it's equivalent to the Super Bowl of college athletics.
I'm fine as a fan to allow things to play out. But, I'm insulted and embarrassed to find out the SEC sat on this, and once they reluctantly had to deal with it, the NCAA asked me to believe a kid with his resume of integrity and character, knew nothing about his father's actions, after stating in published articles that he left his decision up to his father.
The only way I'm going to swallow this, is if he goes down Bush style once all interested parties have collected.
