I've always been told, it's easy for anyone to bring suit against someone.  It's difficult for someone to actually win the suit and collect.

I saw this.  Not sure how that actually works though.  The B1G doesn't have a contract with the Nebraska players, it has a contract with The University of Nebraska.

Seems like UNL should be the one to sue the B1G, and if they do not desire to do so, then the players should sue UNL?

But I'm no attorney.  I wish Pirates Roost were still around.  Did he ever even follow over to this current incarnation?



He made one post here.

That's pretty poor writing there.
Somebody named "Stoops" appears in the 3rd paragraph without a previous mention of his first name or of his connection to the UK football program.
But copy editors disappeared some time ago, so nobody checks to see if the writing is any good.

Eh. Nobody reads past the headline anyway. They just share the article on social media based on what the headline makes them think the article says.

Sadly, often the very people that COMMENT on the article don't read past the headline either.

As an outsider, I don't think that the Big Ten has necessarily made a bad decision.  But it seems that some transparency would help.

I don't think they made a bad decision either.  Just an unnecessary one.  

There was no reason at all they couldn't have waited another 3-6 weeks, read the room, and not ticked off their membership.

The only thing I can think of is they were attempting to exert tacit pressure on the rest of the leagues to fall in line with what they believed was "the right thing to do."

I haven't read the complaint, but I'll be interested to read it, for the Players need to file a claim for which relief may be granted and that's after they can establish that they have 'standing.  It is novel.

The flaw I think is in the link, not the actual headline, which I did read.  I think we now have two possible reasons for games to be not played.

Milwaukee JS reporting BIG considering 8 game season to begin at or after Thanksgiving.

I think I get the motivation here, to play. Now that the NCAA gave everyone a free year of eligibility... you know. 25 extra scholarships...
