Almost all laws are ex post facto in the sense that they're made after something has occurred usually with the intention of either preventing the now-crime from happening or for the purpose of punishing those that continue to perform the now forbidden action. Tyranny enters into it when you try to apply new rules to events that have already transpired. IOW, law is based on the past but it applies to the future and that gives everyone a chance to comply with it. There's no choice regarding complying or not in the absence of the actual law. Ex post facto laws like you see with dictators are basically declarations that X is guilty.
Context should indicate that that is exactly what we are talking about. Why the need to correct what was obvious?

In a legal context, ex post facto is most typically used to refer to a criminal statute that punishes actions retroactively, thereby criminalizing conduct that was legal when originally performed.

Yeah it’s just a dumb argument for the NCAA to classify Spyre which is privately owned business as “boosters” to the University.

Their argument if reports are true is Spyre used a private jet to take Nico to Knoxville which in their minds is considered a impermissible benefit from a booster.

Can’t wait to see them argue the merits of how a privately owned business who was granted access to a privately owned jet should be considered a impermissible benefit against a University who has no control over said privately owned business or jet will be received in a courtroom 😂
Companies fly prospective employees to interviews all the time. It's just business. 1706735784568.png

I'm not sure that's true. I suspect the NCAA is along for the legal ride, whether they want to be there or not.

The lawsuit affects the UT investigation, but it's decoupled from it. Short of calling the Tennessee and Virginia AGs and begging, or finding some legal loophole to get the suit tossed, they're in it now.
 
This may be a big ploy of self destruction, using Tennessee’s passion and fortitude to upend the AA, concerted by Saban and select AA officials be the create a new football league with Saban crowned as the commissioner. @LA Vol tell me I’m wrong.

When Saban realizes he has become a paper tiger, I think he and Miss Terry will retire into private life.
 
What? Charlie Baker is an alum of Harvard and Northwestern, is from New York, and was Governor of Massachusetts. No tie whatsoever to UGA.
Baker is the President. But, Morehead is the President of UGA and is the Chair of the D1 Board of Governors, which is the highest governance body in the NCAA.
 
It was a horribly written tweet. Morehead is on the NCAA's board of directors, not "Chairman of the NCAA," and he isn't Chairman of their board. The President of Baylor is.
Huh. I read an article stating he had be re-appointed as Div 1 BOD chair for 2023-2024. Maybe it’s wrong.

No, apparently he is. So he's the Chairman of a subcommittee, essentially. A UF deputy AD is on that board as well, but it didn't seem to prevent them from being investigated.

Regardless, Morehead is hardly the "Chairman of the NCAA," a position that doesn't even exist by that name.
