NCAA Legal Thread

pretty sure that cincy reigns will be rolled into ucats, if it hasn't been already

They may be ready to merge, but the settlement doesn't go into effect until 7/1/25, so I wouldn't expect it to be up and running until then. (Not that rules have never been broken before around the NCAA landscape.)

I'm not sure what this means for UCATS and Cincy Reigns but I expect a merger of sorts.

Also, multiple sources report that the new CSC CEO will be Bryan Seeley, who has worked for MLB. At least some of his duties have involved investigations.

“What the settlement does not solve is the threat of further litigation.”

Feds indict former Michigan co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/ne...s/82570832007/

Matt Weiss, the former University of Michigan co-offensive coordinator under Coach Jim Harbaugh, was indicted Thursday in a case accusing him of hacking into the personal accounts of thousands of college athletes and stealing intimate photographs and videos.

The federal indictment alleges Weiss gained illegal access to a database of student-athletes at more than 100 colleges and universities that were maintained by a third-party company. Weiss is accused of downloading personal information and medical data of more than 150,000 athletes and using that information to obtain access to the social media, email and cloud storage accounts of more than 3,000 athletes and download personal intimate digital photographs and videos "that were never intended to be shared beyond intimate partners," federal prosecutors said Thursday.

On the Olympic side, I honestly have no idea because there's a lot of athletes there. MBB its only Day Day, WBB it's only NIdiba. I think football it's only Milon but I could be wrong.

Also: I think this is likely only going to apply to this coming season unless NCAA gets kicked out of court again, which seems likely .

[Lobot]

wow this is just the beginning. Who stays and who, if anyone, goes. This is a nice situation for the Cats.

The NCAA is appealing this case, meanwhile the injunction holds and anyone in Pavia’s situation has been granted relief. All JuCos have an additional year of eligibility at the NCAA level as of now

Pandora's box is open and begun the Clone lawsuits have.

Even CWM mentioned Day Day in the paper (Enquirer) today. I suspect many of the bigger schools will once again use the JCs for a minor league to stash and season players. Per my first post, I outlined a few thoughts and I suspect some will happen. UC has been blessed with JC players.

Well , the year is almost over but they just had to get one more lawsuit in vs. the NCAA. Diego Pavia, the Vanderbilt QB, sued the NCAA over his remaining eligibility stating that his time in JuCo shouldn't count against him in the NCAA. The theory was that by not giving him a standard 4 years of eligibility at the NCAA level, the NCAA was restricting his NIL earning capabilities.

Pavia won the case yesterday and has an injunction against the NCAA that allows him to play next year. It's extremely likely this gets appealed by the NCAA, who will then lose again because they're the NCAA. This opens the door for other athletes that came in from JuCo to sue for more years of eligibility. It also opens a can of worms where the NCAA is forced to abandon eligibility requirements in general and grant unlimited years of eligibility. At that point it's pro sports.

UC currently has Judea Milon on the football team, Day Day Thomas in MBB and Alliance Ndiba in WBB plus a few Olympic sports athletes that may be able to extend their time in "College" if they want to pursue a case against the NCAA.

Pandora's box is open and begun the Clone lawsuits have.

Lobot I just saw this in legal news. If it is better there, I understand. I just thought that there were some short and long range discussion points concerning the Cats.

I took care of it
