The NCAA does not have the jurisdiction or legal authority to enforce the laws of the United States or its various states. Without the ability to subpoena and sanction witnesses it has no business attempting to concurrently enforce ILLEGAL activity. In fact, once a criminal case is filed or reasonably contemplated, the NCAA should abstain from any such attempts because it can not ensure procedural due process, prosecutors will not cooperate or share their work product with the NCAA during their investigation, witnesses will refuse to cooperate since they are entitled to their 5th Amendment right not to incriminate themselves and there is a different standard of proof in criminal versus civil/private administrative proceedings. Once the criminal proceedings are completed the NCAA should accept the findings of the Courts and proceed with their compliance. You may not like it but that is the only reasonable course. Even civil legal proceedings are routinely stayed until the completion of criminal proceedings
