NCAA Legal Thread

[Lobot]

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.

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

A Tennessee judge ruled that Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia time at the JC level didn't count towards eligibility. This opens up a major can of worms. Will Day Day have 2 more years. I want Key Tillery here, but the roster will be expanding. Will JC teams become training grounds for young players to get experience and then play important roles on the D1 teams. What does that do to D2 & D3 ball? Will UC once again get the benefit of having JC stars added? There sure is a lot here. What about NIL money for JC? Where will it come from (wink wink)? Can we thank Pavia and Vanderbilt for beating Alabama and thus getting the judge's ruling in an emotional ruling? Who knows, but things got even more interesting.

House settlement is going to have a big effect on Olympic sports.

The House settlement has preliminary approval from the judge on the case.

Judge Wilkins set a date for a final hearing next April (same day as the national championship game). That will allow for further objections or opt-outs in the meantime.

The state of South Dakota (The AG's office) has formally objected to the House settlement.


The complaint, filed Tuesday in Brookings County Circuit Court, alleges that a proposed $2.8 billion settlement between the NCAA and the “Power Four” conferences unfairly forces smaller schools like the South Dakota schools to be responsible for a disproportionate share of the settlement cost.

Money from such a settlement would go to mainly “Power Four” student-athletes whose earning potential while in college was restrained by the NCAA’s amateur rules. Attorney General Jackley said while student-athletes deserve the financial award for their hard work and efforts, the burden of the settlement should not fall on the smaller universities like the South Dakota schools.

Denard Robinson and Braylon Edwards from Michigan have sued the NCAA over its continued use of NIL linked to them. It's an antitrust case.

One point is that they NCAA doesn't want NIL coming directly from boosters. The reasoning being that they can't put a spending cap on that. If the money flows through the school itself, they can cap spending.

Back to bags breaking apart at the airport.

Hearings got under way in the House settlement yesterday. Seems that the judge doesn't agree with some of it or doesn't understand certain parts of it.
