Wait a minute, you mean schools that have been cheating for 50 years are still cheating? I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!

Yeah, the settlement was really an agreement to agree with respect to being governed by the CSC. But their proposed agreement was an overreach, and they didn’t engage with the schools enough and instead tried to just jam it down their throats.
The settlement wasn’t about enforcement authority, so that remains unresolved.
I’ve seen the “jam down their throats” stuff but I don’t know what that means. Maybe I’m not reading the settlement correctly but it looks like enforcement is in there. Plus it looks like reporting NIL is clearly spelled out which is probably why LSU is cooperating and says “this specific inquiry will be resolved shortly”.
I’m also guessing most of us (including myself) didn’t read the settlement or the article because it looks like this isn’t a football player:
Details of the investigation were not included in the short note and are not publicly known, but a person briefed on the matter said it was not related to football.
No!!. Say it ain’t so. Not LSU, one the finest academic institutions in the world, country, Southeast US, state of Louisiana, Baton Rouge. With such upstanding, moral leadership, going back to that great American Huey P. Long.
It can’t be true.

This actually sounds like a whole lot of nuthin’
Here’s a pretty good synopsis on where the Participation Agreement stands. Despite the push from the CSC, I don’t see schools signing on based on the promise to make changes later. At this point, it seems like schools are treating the CSC as a governing body and making adjustments to get in compliance, but that will change if they start trying to impose harsh penalties.
