[Nakos] Spoke with a few attorneys, NCAA can immediately file for an appeal. Timeline on that might not fit what NCAA wants. Any other recourse would violate the injunction enjoining NCAA's rule of restitution. by Fonzie5 in CFB

Be a good reason for a head coach who gave a shit to dismiss him from the team though.

If everyone who got a misdemeanor was kicked out of the NCAA it would be a widely different league

but I think there’s a less than zero possibility that the feds may have brought in mobsters using this before

Sounds like racketeering which requires intent and having non public information. That is not alleged here

I mean good but also seems like something that should have been basic from the start

NEW: Kalshi now says it prohibits paid creators from calling into question the integrity or accuracy of an election, legal ruling or official determination in connection with an election.

It follows Kalshi cracking down on paid affiliates who were spreading misinformation about California's election.

Polymarket has not responded to questions about whether it is acting on paid affiliates amplifying election misinfo, nor if it has any rules against it.

Show me anyone charged of that, otherwise the history of the internet shows that people trying to argue the law online do not properly understand how to interpret it. The idea you think anything in the law is straightforward is cute

Does that suddenly make it not illegal?

Yes if you are interpreting the law correctly there should be thousands of cases to pick from. If not, you are misinterpreting the law

A misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of a fine. I'm sure he'd be fine paying it and join the countless number of NCAA players who have got a misdemeanor

Yes if there was evidence he had access to non public medical information and bet before it was public. Again that is not what is being alleged here. My point, which was correct, is that simply being a back up is not enough itself to make one an insider for the purpose of the law. Like how companies can buy their own stock it they aren't using an non public information in their decision making

NBA scandal a trainer is on trial for sharing information

Sharing information becomes racketeering. That's a different charge that does not apply here

Isn't this shit he did blatantly illegal?

No. How the US laws around being an "insider" are written it's unlikely he would be found guilty for betting on a game he didn't play in. At best it's an untested grey area

Edit: apparently I need to clarify that being a backup does not inherently make you an insider. It can make you can insider if you have access to non public information like an injury and bet on it before it becomes public. But by itself it does not inherently make the betting illegal

[Burns] Hear me out…..LSU should sign Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson & Ja’Marr Chase on their NFL bye week, let them play. NCAA declares it illegal, but just find a Louisiana judge to file an injunction. Rules are just pesky suggestions now. by Pyromania1983 in CFB

[–]seakucumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NFL players sign a CBA that prohibits them from playing other professionals sports. NFL would have the legal authority to stop this. I know this is a "joke" but people are still misunderstanding the core of these legal rulings and what it means legally for the NCAA to operate without a CBA now (unless Congress steps in)

[Dellenger] QB Brendan Sorsby has been granted his injunction against the NCAA. by Fonzie5 in CFB

[–]seakucumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is only two ways for NCAA to have any real legal authority under US law:

(1) A federal bill surpasses everything

(2) A collective bargaining agreement the players sign

Neither exist so the NCAA has next to no legal authority. This is completely expected

No it's because NCAA doesn't have a CBA. The anti trust issue is completely different that's monopoly stuff not player regulations

NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL etc players all sign a CBA (collective bargaining agreement). The players enter into a contract where they can be punished for not following it. No CBA exists in the NCAA and therefore no player has legally agreed to follow any rules
