John Does sues ethics commission and Steve Robertson

[ShotgunDawg]

They just filed the suit in order to request a stay. It'll be granted, and honestly it should be, until the court can review what's going on and speed up the proceedings. It's a delay tactic and probably the only immediate way they can stop the release of the name, but they're running out of options. In my opinion, it just a matter of time.

So why don't they release every name but his?

Also, what's the problem with Rosebowl releasing all the names himself and say, "these are the people in the NOA."

If the truth is a defense, what does he have to worry about?

Winning the lawsuit and having to deal with the pain in the butt for 5 years are two different things. Steve could do that, and eventually win in my opinion, but it would be a huge headache over the next several years. OR... or... or... he could just wait and let it come out in accordance with state law, much like he's doing. Patience is the right choice here. There's no need to rush this epic saga along.

This is what I'd like to know. There are like 15 boosters called out in the NOA. Regardless of what happens with this stay, they still have to release all the other names besides this John Doe based on the order of the Ethics Commission, unless they all file similar motions. Is this correct?

Can all 15 boosters named take turns going through the appeals process one at a time in order to delay it another couple years or more?

These boosters have powerful friends in government who can not control the NCAA but would will let the Ethics Commission go down in flames before allowing names released and will go to the nines to do so.

Hate to be the Debbie Downer on this but I'd be very surprised if we EVAR see the names released.
