TheDeuce Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It’s a weird suit and getting John Morgan as lead counsel is... Stupid. Let's just call it what it is, stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAC Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Can the players prove the loss of the games and championships have damaged them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Can the players prove the loss of the games and championships have damaged them? It would be difficult, I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBWC41 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I don't think the players stand a chance in this one but I'm 100 percent behind anyone challenging the NCAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRCW Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It’s a weird suit and getting John Morgan as lead counsel is... interesting. I don’t know where this is going to go, but I’ll follow it. Don't you think Morgan approached the players about this, and not vise versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attorneys soliciting clients are subject dis-barment unless the attorney and solicited client have a prior professional relationship with one another, are family, or have a "close personal" relationship.

I think they lose but I don’t care. I hope they give the NCAA 1,000,000 pages of paperwork, depositions, press conferences. Just make them miserable and I’ll call it a win.

Didn't know that. It seems to me that there are a lot of "Ambulance chasing" attorneys out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAC Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 All of this a waste of tax payers money tying up our legal system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 All of this a waste of tax payers money tying up our legal system. Insert most things these judges probably see on a weekly basis. Also, if your name was being smeared because of the actions of others, you may feel differently about it being a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 So if I understand, the group of players that did not receive these impermissible benefits want only themselves recognized as national champs? I am still not understanding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still not understanding it. That's basically how I understand it as well. None of it makes very much sense. I can understand the wanting to "clear their names," but in the grand scheme of things even if they win, I don't see this trial changing that.

bugatti Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 And this is not just a UL thing, but it is kind of funny that we come into cases like this saying how the NCAA is "morally corrupt," and an overall shoddy organization, yet we plead for them to validate a trophy earned under their umbrella. So we call them a joke on one hand, yet want their joke seal of approval on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is how most people look at it. With how Rick exited I believe most throw this at his feet, clearing the reputations of the kids associated with the team. Again, getting back to my previous post, they want their names in the record books. Whose record books? The NCAA's, a corrupt organization that nobody has any respect for.

bugatti Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Of course this is easy for me to say as a fan / general observer. If I were in the middle of it my tune would maybe change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
