I disagree this is not an NCAA issue. If a football player is being treated differently than a non-football player would have to keep him playing then that is impermissible. A football player getting preferential treatment is what was and is going on at Baylor as far as the NCAA is concerned. Now the laws being broken are also important and the hammer should come down for both.
Show me where this is in the NCAA bylaws regarding impermissible benefits to a student athlete. It's not there. This isn't an NCAA issue. The problem lies wherever Baylor houses their Title IX compliance. That being said Baylor is in a similar situation to Penn State. The NCAA could impose punishment and Baylor cant really survive the optics of challenging the ruling
