I don’t think NCAA has won a court case yet.

They won a lawsuit filed by a basketball player on your team a few months ago

I’m not a lawyer and have zero legal knowledge but I guess I’d ask, is there no federal anything that addresses “fairness” in sports? Like, why did congress give a shite about steroids and all that? Seems like they’d have better things to worry about no?

No. Don’t ever confuse the law with what is fair.

That was almost entirely political theater and not one party suing another for anything outside of the actual criminal activity and simply lying to Congress. There is no legally binding right to fairness in sports.

I see. Thanks for the responses. This whole thing is very weird and seems like he should be able to play while they deal with it. This is likely his last year to earn money of this kind and I feel like he should be able to do it

The kid's case is shite but we all know they'll get the home cooking needed.

Perhaps this will finally end the NCAA, they're going to have to just make players employees.

Why would Florida not have standing to prevent an ineligible player from playing in a game in Florida?


Because the law requires a party to show a “particularized interest” in a matter to have standing, and another school doesn’t have any such interest. The NCAA as a governing body would, but not individual schools or opposing players.

Let’s say a school has a rule against missing curfew or smoking weed or whatever, which requires an offending athelete to be suspended and ineligible to play. Whether the school enforces or waives that suspension against a player is between the player and his school; other teams have no standing to get involved.
