This is absolutely a fair question. The answer is that the NCAA doesn’t have the resources to pursue everyone, so more likely they will look to make an example of one or two programs as a warning to everyone else. A&M is at the top of that list because you’ve flaunted the situation way more than others and you’re also not a traditional power.
I will also grant you it’s at least as likely that nothing comes of this.
If that be the case, the NCAA is better served going after a much less funded program they can beat up on. Do you really think a program like A&M who has been down this road a million times with the NCAA and Charles Allen Wright is going to just sit back and take it?
This will be in litigation until the end of time.

It's cute how you think those guys played at LSU for no other reason but the educational prowess and great program experience.
This is the REAL reason you are mad. You can't buy those players under the table like you have been for the past 40 years minimum.

If the NCAA tried to sanction A&M for allowing boosters to be involved in collectives that enter into NIL deals with players while ignoring the dozens of other programs that are doing the same thing (and in many cases even publicizing it), A&M will fight like holy hell. There would be litigation. Discovery would be a blast. No chance in hell that happens.

Exactly.
It will not end well for the NCAA....AT ALL.

Since 2000, Aggy fans have seen more Aggy football players arrested for murder and manslaughter than 10-win seasons.

If the NCAA tried to sanction a player or a booster then I’d agree with you, but if it’s only sanctioning the school I don’t think it’s a slam dunk at all either way how that would go nor do I think it’s safe to assume the NCAA would back off out of fear of discovery or anything like that.
You definitely MAY be right on that, it to pretend it’s a foregone conclusion is just ignorant.

We have all been paying players under the table for 100+ years.
I have a friend who played at Yale and even HE got money

Aggies keep saying this.
Why can't we?

I could see players suing even if they just sanctioned A&M, on the grounds that the NCAA hurt their future employment prospects. If the NCAA tries to sanction a school for actions done by its boosters while not sanctioning other schools even when their boosters have publicly acknowledged the same actions, there will be litigation, unless the school and the NCAA settle on some penalty. But I don’t see any reason for a school to settle.

aggy might fight like holy hell, unless the NCAA brings in the Wake Forest School of Law.

They wouldn’t have standing as long as they were free to transfer.
The punishment wouldn’t be for NIL, it would be for using NIL as an inducement to sign.

They could easily have standing by arguing that even with the opportunity to transfer, they’d employment opportunities were hindered. Imagine a senior starting QB plausibly arguing that the necessity of transfer hurts his future employment opportunities.

As long as his eligibility wasn’t impacted it wouldn’t matter. He would not be forced to transfer from A&M, it would be his choice based on whatever the penalties were. And as there are plenty of players who get drafted not playing in a playoff or even for a major school there’s not really an argument that it would harm his NFL future.

Make examples out of Aggot and USC.

Sure, my man. He turned down his cut of $30,000,000 at A&M to play at LSU for free.
I thought that whole 30 million story was was fake news?
