In downtown New Albany.
Wish I had known, would have attended.
I wonder if anyone not going to stand when the judge comes in as a freedom of speech.
thought about walking in with my maroon on and asking if they had anything for free.
What a waste of time and money...
Make no mistake...this was an OM lawsuit. Rebel Rags is probably having record sales since this started. OM was wanting to get depositions before they went to the COI in hopes that they could trip up Leo and then have something to throw at the committee. Now that that has passed, I'm sure their reasoning is to try and do the same with Leo, but use it when they appeal the sanctions and to let that be their battle cry after the sanctions come down.....WE PROVED LEO LIED AND THAT GOT US PUT ON PROBATION, totally ignoring the rest of their sanctions.
The problem they have is that they aren't going to trip up Leo, and all of this will quietly go away. Shitbirds. Roll Tide
Yancey now tweeting that "Discovery was granted" and Motion to dismiss denied.......says it's about to get real....what an asshole!
It's so wild for me to think about a clothing store suing two college football players for a conspiracy to intentionally harm the business. It sounds ludicrous, and really highlights the lengths they are willing to go to. Not to mention the fact that they only told NCAA investigators. They make it sound like the players were out in front of the store protesting and scaring business off. The whole thing is absurd and they are absurd to think it will save them. But, hey, I guess the have to pin their hopes to something. Just gives Yanax and the rest of the cultish, kkklanish media an opportunity to keep hope alive, and hold on to those subscriptions for a few more months. That's it.
Per Ben Garrett Discovery has not yet been granted. Looks like Yanax jumped the gun.
Not a lawyer, but I think that's a very key point. Had they been yelling to the heaveans that they got free stuff on a recruiting visit, it would be a different matter (but if it's true, they could still do that). OM was the one who released the information and the names, and it took them forever to release the content of the violation.
I don't expect the motions to dismiss to be granted prior to discovery. That is rare and only done when the complaint does not state a claim.
I am much more interested in the change of venue. From what little I have seen, I expect that to be granted and the motion to sever the defendants' cases to be granted.
If anything I bet their business has increased, and would have decreased if this was not made public.
For the simple reason that reb fans would have slacked off buying due to investigations, but have increased buying in support of them.
Basically Rebel Rags doesn't buy merchandise from the school. They buy from apparel companies and licensed wholesalers like Collegiate. The school doesn't own or control those companies. So even if RR is disassociated, there isn't anything the school can do to stop their business.
In fact, if the school does dissociate them, then RR can give out even more free stuff to even more croots, and the school can claim they have done all they can to stop him. Which we all know would be BS
This right here is why the case will never go forward. These two anonymous SA were contacted by the NCAA to give honest testimony about the case that they had uncovered through their investigations. LL and KJ did not spread lies to the masses and such and the only way this was made public is through release, non compliantly, by OM to a third party and to the public of their names and the accusations.
They are playing with fire in my opinion. Nothing will come out of this that the NCAA will look fondly on, and State's already got a pass on the players in question. That's been established, yet they're still going forward with it? So why? It's not to win money from a couple of college students. The only reason they could possibly be pursuing this case, at this juncture, is if they're seeking to embarrass the NCAA for letting kids skate. They're trying to turn this into a news story, but the only ones who really care anymore are their own regular mouth pieces.
Oh, and they're hanging onto every thread they can find at this point. The rope is shredded and about to pop. And it's going to be a long fall.
Waste of time.
The optics of this situation are bad even if OM got what they want, whatever that is. Discovery works both ways.
