So the strategy is to make people think you're merely incompetent instead? Sounds about right for the NCAA

No one ever accused the NCAA of being intelligent. Or fair.

If it does come down to suspension, let it serve as extra jet fuel to prove something this season

As far as UOfI trademark After NIL passed I thought there was a presentation from the school on how they could or couldn’t help a player get NIL’s setup that included they can use the Illinois logo etc as long as they got it approved from the school first so it wasn’t used for selling inappropriate items.

Yeah after looking into it more it appears to be universities setting up their own rules on the logo, not the NCAA.

The thing that baffles me is, why would the NCAA want to do this? Kofi is a preseason first team AA, and one if the frontrunners for NPOY. He's one of the biggest stars of the college game and of course one of the biggest television draws. I imagine this decision won't get good press and the NCAA has a good excuse to look the other way. Can anyone explain how this wouldn't be a huge own goal by the NCAA?
"Why would the NCAA want to do this?"

Answer: Because they are insane

If I were a CU attorney, I would be contacting Kofi’s team/representatives and work a NIL deal….
My firm will represent you in fighting the ruling from the NCAA, and provide you with pro bono representation for all other legal matters, and we ask that you simply provide our firm with a few commercials or promotions that speak to our relationship and the fact that we stepped up for you to fight the NCAA, aka - the bully….
We see all you attorneys strolling into SFC with your season tickets. We see you at the fundraisers. We see you sporting your die hard, I bleed orange and blue mantra. We see you at the Kiwanis luncheons kissing tail when talking to staff members….
Now is the time to put your money where your mouth is and truly support your team!!!!!
C’mon Mayer Capel, or some other firm…..time to step up boys and girls!!!!!

So how will that work???.....They going to require everyone to show their vaccination card or their negative test results at the gate???? That sounds like that could be a cluster F*@!
Have done a few areana events in last few weeks it doesn't add much if any time

I think the trademark thing may have been Plummer. Not sure about Kofi.

Also, didn’t an MSU player just recently avoid punishment by paying back a few hundred dollars worth of “illegal pay/benefit” or something like that?

Miles Bridges had to donate 40 dollars to charity to make his case go away.

LOL
