Just a statement to fellow elitedoggers in regards to the NCAA. I will be assertive and hopefully perceived respectful by the readers of this post. We have seen a lot of activity in the Courts with the NCAA and I would like to bring to light something about this. Whenever an individual, company, or organization is brought into litigation, the court clerks do a comprehensive investigation of the principals involved. The clerks will bring to light information in regards to the litigants.

If a person has a criminal record, this is known to the Court, and helps an accurate and comprehensive knowledge of that person. Someone who is in Court for the first time will be observed different that someone with a repetitive rap sheet of crimes. The same applies to the NCAA.

The NCAA is rightfully being overseen by the courts and the court clerks are developing a profile of it. That profile is absorbed by the courts to assure a comprehensive understanding within. Because of repetitive exposure of past abuses, the NCAA has potentially identified itself by all courts in America. The NCAA has nowhere to hide and can not be seen as an honorable organization anywhere in America.

Much of this started with the USC sanctions in which a litigant’s legal team, a law firm, was granted unfettered access to the NCAA mainframe. The emails and other documents were allowed to be introduced into the court transcripts and on to the New York Times and Los Angeles Times who released the court transcripts in PDFs onto the internet. BTW, the NCAA settled with Todd McNair not Todd McNair settled with the NCAA. Also, the NCAA will pay Reggie Bush millions because of legal exposure after the fact. The NCAA made a stupid statement that reset the statute of limitations to bring a lawsuit against it.

All of what I have stated to fellow elitedoggers is in the presents of the Attorney Generals of Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida. I would bet that every State’s AGs have easy access to the NCAA rap sheet and will handle business as they discover what the NCAA really is and will act accordingly.
