I can tell you exactly how he’s going to respond:

Let me be perfectly clear: if college athletics is truly going to survive in the modern era, then we must stop pretending that young athletes should be held to some impossible monastic standard while every other entity in this ecosystem monetizes them from sunrise to sunset. Universities profit. Television networks profit. Conferences profit. Coaches sign contracts worth tens of millions of dollars. Entire media empires are built upon the backs of unpaid or underpaid athletes—and yet the moment a young man makes a mistake, suddenly the same people who turned college sports into a Wall Street commodity rediscover their moral outrage and wave around NCAA rulebooks like they’re carrying tablets down from Mount Sinai.

The American spirit has never been about destroying young people for one error in judgment. It has been about redemption, proportionality, and common sense. The Constitution itself was written by imperfect men who understood that rigid orthodoxy destroys institutions faster than mercy ever could. If we are serious when we say college football belongs to the American people—not to bureaucrats, not to gambling interests, not to television executives—then we ought to remember what the people actually believe in: fairness, opportunity, and second chances. Permanently stripping a student-athlete of eligibility over conduct that harmed nobody, altered no outcome, and occurred inside a system drenched from top to bottom in legalized sports gambling hypocrisy does not protect college football. It weakens it. The true threat to the integrity of the game is not a young quarterback making a mistake. It is a system so blinded by performative sanctimony that it forgets the very values of grace, liberty, and pragmatic justice that made American institutions exceptional in the first place.
