If this survives NU's appeal, this is going to completely destroy the NCAA as we know it, I think. In some respects, that wouldn't be a bad thing. It would be really interesting to see what the NCAA 2.0 would look like in the aftermath.

OTOH, it would be kind of funny if the NCAA responded by ruling all of NU's players to be professionals and therefore ruling them ineligible. Kind of a nuclear response that I doubt would survive a legal challenge.
