I’m not sure I understand what the NCAA’s lawyers are even TRYING to say by that. Something along the lines of, “they’re not employees, because we say so, which makes them not employees”?

Re: F the NCAA
Exactly. And the NCAA lawyer repeatedly said he didn't know how the scholarships work. Basically the judge asked if athletes can lose scholarships if they stop playing and/or if they're not renewed. "So this coach has complete control of this young person." Lawyer said he wasn't for sure how the scholarships work and how they're honored.

Re: F the NCAA
sounds like a well-prepared lawyer
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
Re: F the NCAA
He doesn't have much to work with. There isn't a lot about the NCAA's positions that really makes any sense on a fundamental level.

Re: F the NCAA
i don’t disagree
actually, i had the thought that “not knowing”…aka feigning ignorance…might be part of the strategy

Re: F the NCAA
It at least keeps the lawyer from having to lie in court. If they told the truth, their case would be unraveled in about 5 minutes and they would be forced to completely trash their fake amateurism model designed to enrich more old white guys.KUTradition wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 8:57 ami don’t disagree

When I worked in fast food in college, I was compensated by the value of training I received. Felt great.

Re: F the NCAA
Apparently, Kansas officials, including Bill and Townsend, had a NCAA hearing this last weekend in Atlanta.

Re: F the NCAA
Which seems to make sense considering KU had zero visits last weekend.

Re: F the NCAA
Please forgive my ignorance.
Why would Self and Townsend have an NCAA hearing, over a/the weekend, in Atlanta?

Re: F the NCAA
Atlanta probably the easiest place to fly to for those involved.
Keep in mind, this is not strictly an NCAA thing based in Indianapolis. They have committee members from San Diego, Atlanta, Florida, West Virginia, New York, San Francisco, Tennessee and more. Those members are lawyers, Athletic Directors, Former Heads of Military and more.
Just my $0.02

Re: F the NCAA
It's the "because it's always been that way" reasoning which to me is the dumbest reason to do anything.

One of the least offensive pieces written by Forde on KU's case. Such a little twerp.KUTradition wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 7:28 am seems likely to be related:
