One example: you said the NCAA can govern itself in any fashion it wants, which is not true. It’s a non-profit organization whose membership is primarily made up of state institutions. It’s also under heavy anti-trust scrutiny. Its governance is heavily subject to court oversight, not to mention common-law duties any organization is subject to, plus (likely) a lot of contractual obligations.

Look, I agree this situation isn’t good, mostly because I can’t see anything we do not taking a bunch of time. But we don’t need to pretend the AA is still a powerful organization that’s on strong legal footing to act boldly.

I'm sorry that I didn't provide more detail but I didn't want to take up a whole page. Of course the NCAA is limited by federal and state laws and their own contractual obligations. My point was that they are allowed to develop their own bylaws as long as they are in bounds of existing laws. While we're all happy Alston happened, if you look at the judicial system's overturning of NCAA rules, there arent many examples of this pre-Alston.

The real legal question is whether their enforcement of their own bylaws violates any exisitng law in this particular case.

I'm an attorney, so you can imagine that I would bristle at being accused of not knowing what I'm talking about.

Unless, and I’m just playing devils advocate here I’m not saying I agree with this, someone on Tennessee’s staff was directly in contact with Spyre. If that’s the case, then, maybe that’s what the NCAA is looking into.

No you are not just playing devils advocate. You are always trying to control the narrative by putting our great University in a negative light. Screw your post and screw the NCAA.

We used to do that back in the 80s..we would hop over the fence at the ramp and go in there and throw a football around...we usually got chased out by security guards after a few minutes, but they never caught any of us..

Thanks for the reminiscence..brought a tear to my eye, one of my partner in crime cousins that I used to do that with died this week and he was a huge Vol fan..he was only 51 😥

Your original one sentence didn’t read like a compressed version of the above, but whatever.

I still don’t believe many courts are going to view an organization taking punitive actions against its constituent members based on retroactive enforcement very favorably, especially when it concerns NIL and an organization they’re historically skeptical of.

I am as well, and they can be sued for arbitrarily and capriciously enforcing their own bylaws and rules, in addition to more anti-trust issues violating the Sherman Act. But, that’s not my area, so I will let those advising Plowman handle it.

They’ve taken on new roles though. They just aren’t getting the number of shots that they used to, and that affects your rhythm. He’s only taken 5 shots the last 2 games. Would love to see more from them, but DK and Aidoo are the first two options.

Ehh

He was 1-8 against Ms St and 2-9 against UGA just a few games ago

That mid range jumper is deadly when he is comfy with it and athletically he is a matchup problem for most wings/guards/ forwards that play him. He's physically stronger than most, has nice tough and just doesn't use his athleticism to his advantage enough. Maybe he and Santi are too passive because of Knecht...they gotta figure **** out.

That’s a bison, not a bull. I believe you meant to use this emoji: 🐂. Maybe lay off the sour mash and stick with water for a few days. Based on your posting trend lately, you gotta detox. I may also recommend CBD, it may help mellow you out. Sorry you’re triggered by someone saying they trust the NYT over a schmuck like Pat Forde.

Edit: you also misspelled Ulysses E. McGill. If you’re going to attempt to play the Soggy Bottom Boys fanboy, at least get it right.
