They have a roster of attorneys and could easily walk this back after taking a look at court documents and statements. It’ll get a whole lot worse before it gets better if they don’t act fast. Them admitting they were wrong and giving back the end part of the season would be at least a win for the NCAA in this situation. No idea what happens but the NCAA could easily save face here by taking action

FWIW as I am listening to this weeks Reaction Time pod they do mention that the NCAA ship has sailed and Dresser made that clear, they broke the rules and they have/are serving the time for that. Everything remaining is legal with DCI. @jcordova8 can chime in more.

So the NCAA used illegal findings to make disciplinary decisions and you think “not a chance?” Not saying they will get to go, but “not a chance” isn’t in my vocabulary right now. The whole things a mess

I don’t think that you could say the NCAA used illegal findings because it was self-reported from the universities. The universities found out because of the DCI investigation, but that’s not how the NCAA became aware.

I have been told by a friend in Dubuque that it is him.

Yeah, it’s him.

Yeah definitely just look at the current situation as strictly legal. The NCAA is very separate from the criminal investigation in this case. The time they lost from competing they're not going to get back but they'll be able to have a serious case against the state for damages, among other things with the recent information!

Just curious how wide the geo-fence was. For instance, many athletes live within a few blocks of the Sports Performance Center. Might they have been tracked at home as well as at the SPC?

Whether or not the findings are "illegal" have no bearing on the NCAA. The NCAA is not bound by legality. The NCAA could have done the same investigation and suspended the athletes, they (the NCAA) are not bound to the same requirements public law enforcement is.

I have not read the documents in detail but I had read on twitter I believe in some of the tweets Keith Murphy put out that the geofencing was around sports/campus facilities.
