Tell that to Mike Leach, who got boned out of a lot of money because a public university was able to use sovereign immunity to throw away his contract:

Your point is moot as you keep changing what you are talking about, they NCAA with any power would not have been able to force JFF to admit to something.

No I am being very consistent in my reasoning, just maybe I am not being very clear. The NCAA cannot get cleaned up until it becomes heavy-handed like it was in the 1980s. That punishment it handed down to SMU wasn't fair at all, but terrible unfair punishments have a way of getting others in line to avoid being made the next unfair example. That is Chinese Justice in a nutshell.

The second the NCAA questioned that SMU punishment, and pretty much decided it will never do that again, was the second the system started falling apart.

The NCAA will never have enough power or authority to completely regulate college football. But with larger (and unfair) punishments and greater access to affiliated third parties it could at least create an environment of fear that convinces programs of the need to regulate themselves.

Honestly I didn't know what kind of rathole the Cam situation still is. I thought by now yall would allow some levity in the recounting. I now know that is not the case, I apologize for my transgression.

Here you are talking about punishment before it was subpoena power, they are completely different

your statement that with "subpoena power" the NCAA would have been able to force JFF to admit transgressions is absolutely not true. As I stated from the get go, the NCAA essentially does have subpoena power with all its members. Its only non members it does not have. Hence my employer example
