There have been legal cases filed against professional sports (see New Orleans Saints), but I’m wondering what the grounds are for a class action or civil lawsuit against the NCAA?

If the tutor helped non-athletes with the same “benefit”, isn’t it just like North Carolina? That would seem easy enough to prove and could use the NCAA words against them. Why should one member Institution receive preferential treatment?

In the NCAA statement they claim North Carolina athletes did their own work in the sham class, but was that really proven? Is there forensic proof of that? Or again, is one member institution receiving preferential treatment?

Do NCAA penalties reach beyond the student athlete and team? Such as communities, businesses, alumni, etc

I understand the member institution receiving said penalties may not be able to file such a lawsuit, but I’m curious about the public at large?
