My wife's best friends son played oline for BYU so we traveled to Lubbock for the game last year from San Antonio.. They are one of the worst places a visiting fan can go.
It is the only place i have seen where they put the opposing fans seats at the very top of the left side end top on the Texas Tech side right next to those extremely loud speakers that they play something every single play.
Their band plays while the other team has the ball trying to snap the ball.
How does the conference allow that. And i am not talking once in awhile it is every offensive play.
Why has no team complained about it.
The Texas Tech band was on the BYU side starting right to the end of BYU benches.
Me and my wife could not take the volume and my ears were hurting. We ended up watching the game from a lower level entry leaning on cement from end of first quarter.
I hope LSU never plays them.

Texas Tech must have blinked.

Let’s see if the NCAA goes after Cincy since they knew last August
Cinci, assuming they didn't know all along about the stuff at Indiana, is acting after the fact in damage control mode. Tech openly shed any semblance of integrity and thumbed their nose at the rule book, was willing to ignore and even mock a golden rule of athletic competition, and arrogantly threw stupid amounts of money at it. Neither is good - Cinci's response and denial of awareness is not unusual for an institution when they discover bad things after the fact, Tech knew and charged forward anyway.
However, Athletic departments have a tendancy to try and get out in front of these stories - only to find they didn't know that they actually did know. That is lack of institutional control defined. So, for Cinci the coverup (if there was one) is the crime - and especially if they knew he bet on his own team and he still played - then they should get the hammer.
What about Indiana, what and when did they know?

Of course. Federal court wasn't going to just say, "whatever you want, tech."

This supplemental draft you speak of. Was he secretly told that he would be drafted if he would enter the draft? I honestly don't know how this works.
It hasn't been used in a while because the NCAA doesn't rule a lot of people ineligible anymore, so there is no pool or a very small pool of players to choose from. Picking a player in the Xth Round of a supplemental draft means you forfeit your pick in that round of the regular draft the following season.
I remember the Saints took Dave (not Wade) Wilson in a supplemental draft.
I want to say Steve Walsh *he was, by Dallas, but the Saints gave up a ton of draft picks to get him

Good luck finding some random state court level judge willing to piss off the NFL

He won't be able to sue the NFL in state Court. He's suing regarding the CBA, a federal labor law issue. Also, the NFL is a Delaware entity with a NY principal place of business. Sorbsy is in TX, so you've got diversity of citizenship as well. The NCAA's problem is they never incorporated in any one state, so they are "citizens" in every state where a member school resides (so every state in the country). That's why players started suing the NCAA in state courts and the NCAA not being able to move the lawsuits to Federal Court. Tom Mars had an blurb about it when all this stuff started and how the NCAA fricked up never incorporating in Indiana where their headquarters is.

Can’t he just sign somewhere as an UDFA? Any team that would have drafted him in the supplemental can now sign him at a discount, correct?

In 2015 saw TT vs LSU in Reliant / NRG stadium in the Texas bowl.
Fan base was extremely trashy

No. In order to be eligible to play in the NFL one must go through the draft process.
