House vs NCAA

[Coursesuper]

Y'all need to read up on this, it will completely change all of collegiate athletics going forward. It will be a settlement in the billons of dollars and the member institutions will be on the line for the $$$. This could require member schools to fork over as much as 25% of their athletic budgets. That would be devastating for us.

Good time to have a small athletic budget !!

Leave it to lawyers to screw up a good thing.

Tom Mars seems to think this will be the death of the ncaa. When the ncaa dies, that will be the end of the current structure of conferences and payouts.

Trial is set for January 2025. We shall see if the ncaa settles by then. However the ncaa has so many pending legal actions. It may be in their best interest to go to trial. Because when they lose and have a judgment in the billions, they won't be able to pay. They can declare bankruptcy and close shop.

I for one agree.

Mars said schools should go ahead and leave the NCAA. I wonder if that would free them from payment of claims and leave it only to the entity?

I would like to bring to light a communication I sent to KUSI a television station station in San Diego. A segment was presented to the public in regards to Reggie Bush Heisman situation. I personally handed this information to KUSI as well as sent email. This is an example of future pain lying in Waite for the NCAA in the near future monetarily speaking. Simply the NCAA screwed up again.

The Reggie Bush scenario played out in the Todd McNair versus the NCAA litigation because the USC allegations for sanctions were triggered and executed thru that process. Articles, from Forbes and CBS Sports explain the NCAA questionable mindset. Both have emphasized the release of Court documents. The NCAA fought the releases and lost in the Courts. The media indicated over 500 pages of documentation extracted from the NCAA mainframe which houses documents and emails. McNair’s legal team was granted unfettered access to the mainframe by the Court, thus anything else not put in evidence can still be in the legal team’s possession or any others the team distributed too. In short consider 500 pages of documentation as a bottom figure. Emails are included in the content discussed in the articles.

After years of evasive action, the NCAA settled with McNair, not McNair settled with the NCAA. Bear in mind that the litigation dragged on for almost a decade. Having a legal firm, many high salaried employees, throw its resources into litigation, of that size, costs tens of millions of dollars in fees paid from the NCAA. Mc Nair’s wallet swelled once he defeated the NCAA also. The end game is official emails from the NCAA mainframe state that the NCAA had no evidence whatsoever against McNair and the NCAA position on Reggie Bush was speculative. This was discovered within the NCAA mainframe via emails in which an NCAA official acknowledges no evidence and he is losing sleep over this. Remember, this is extracted documented evidence presented in Court and in the public domain. PDF documents, containing evidence presented at trial, are available because the media has released them.

After the document release to the public, the NCAA only recycled its earlier statements, nothing new was added to its pursuit of USC. The court records exposed some NCAA officials wary of what was contained in house on mainframe? Simply, the NCAA dug its foxholes gambling that it would get away with fraudulent activity i.e., USC sanctions.

After the document release, Pat Hayden, the USC AD was not heard of again because it made USC look bad in front of its fanbase BTW.

While in foxhole mode Paul Dee, for the NCAA, was compelled to testify in regards to the newly disclosed information from the NCAA mainframe. The reason why Paul Dee was ordered by a Florida Court, for depositions, was information brought to light via exposure due to legal discovery. Paul Dee suffered a fatal heart attack within 24 hours of a mandatory discovery proceeding ordered by an assigned Florida Court. A senior NCAA official was stressed because of legal exposure.

The NCAA made a public statement after the Todd McNair settlement. The NCAA said that it would oppose the return of the Bush Heisman Trophy because Reggie Bush was in a pay for play agreement with some agent his parents were affiliated with. Remember, Reggie was not affiliated with his parents’ associate. All that activity was happening in San Diego County while Reggie was residing in Los Angeles. Reggie Bush’s step father was not given any legal authority to represent Reggie and assign and agent: the NCAA knew that. That recent statement reset the Statute of Limitations for Reggie to seek legal redress.

Now all Reggie’s attorney has to do is cut and paste remnants of the McNair litigation documentation to his pleadings. The fun part starts with pretrial discovery testimony. Is Bush’s attorney going to monetary feast on what else had been extracted from the NCAA mainframe?

All this is now stated to KUSI and Paul Rudy via this statement, ask why KUSI gave the NCAA some undeserved credibility as a governing sports body when all other media know that they have been misrepresented too after exposure to Court discoveries? They dug their foxholes and stayed quiet while KUSI further misrepresented the facts in the Reggie Bush/USC saga. Was the knowledge of Rudi Pena and Montel Allen vetted on this accurate information before public presentation?
