"Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats said Friday that, regardless of the outcome of the case, Bediako will be allowed to remain on scholarship and work toward a college degree."

Yeah, sure

Should Alabama be required to forfeit the games they won he played in?

I say “yes”. What they did was ******** & they lose nothing pulling that stunt w/o forfeits.

Glad the Vols beat their ass with him.

The whole thing is a bad joke, but he technically wasn't ineligible during the games he played.

Nate Oats doesn't give AF. He's below the bottom of the barrel as far as morals. Punish him all you want, he's too far gone to change.

That’s for sure. However he’d probably care if those 3 extra losses drops them several seed lines in the tournament or caused them to miss it altogether if the season goes south from here.

Does this have any effect on the Aguilar eligibility case ?

Not directly unless Joey A is also trying to say he suffers "irreparable harm" from not being able to play which was this guy's claim.

The Alabama judge said: You have other options you can pursue so there's no irreparable harm

If Joey A tries the same argument of "irreparable harm" then he may also be told: You have other options you can pursue too.

He was “eligible” off a ruling from a booster judge. Not sure how legitimate that is now. I would think the new ruling overrules that. Need a lawyer to opine.

He was playing off a ruling at the time, which was overruled. If he played today, he'd be ineligible, but for the period of time the restraining order was in place, he technically was eligible (or maybe a better way to say it would be that he wasn't ineligible).

It's not like vacating wins because teams were breaking rules and doing something they knew wasn't right.

He did it right. He went to court, got a favorable ruling, then played after being told he could play. The NCAA appealed and now he's told he can't play, so he won't.

I think the new ruling is correct but the old ruling was valid while he played so what rules were broken in those games?

If I'm not mistaken, the initial judge ruled that the NCAA could not punish Bama even if the NCAA eventually won the case in court.

You’re correct but he was a biased booster that eventually had to recuse himself. I believe I saw where the NCAA won’t consider the games he played when evaluating Alabama

I guess where I ultimately have a problem is that twit Oats tried to pull a fast one through a judge who is a big booster (who eventually had to recuse himself) and there doesn’t seem to be any ramifications for the shady effort. Par for the course in today’s college sports and for Nate Oats in particular.

If the NCAA doesn't come down with some penalty then the organization might as well fold as an enforcement entity. Need a QB for the playoffs, get a local judge to rule an NFL player eligible because it will take 3-4 weeks to get it overturned.

Alabama is safe officially. There will be no repercussions for playing him. Unofficially, it will be interesting to see if the committee drops them a seed or two, or places them in very undesirable brackets/matchups.

There's a similarity between Joey A filing in Knoxville Chancery Court also, to be fair.

It's not a pretty business and the moral high ground is in a swamp for everyone at this point.

Oats is worse than most, for sure, but the bar is low.
