I don't even play a lawyer on TV (although I am an avid fan of the original Perry Mason and always used to listen to Point of Law during Steve Cannon's show on The Neighbor), but I've been around administrative law a lot during my career and while it's not apples-to-apples I've seen when courts...

The question is clear--at least to me--is "Can the NCAA enforce any standards related to the term of eligibility?" The focus of Pavia's case is limited solely to him, but if the court rules in his favor there will likely be a blanket class-action and anyone in his position will be accorded the...

After I finished my undergrad north of Riverside Avenue and before I went to grad school south of Riverside I took a bunch of extension courses, some to fill some academic holes before I went to grad school and some just out of interest. I'm stretching the argument a bit, but the question of...

If Pavia wins, it will no longer be limited to just him by the time the ink dries on the agreement.

The suit has been brewing for a while and the temporary injunction will now allow Pavia to play another year. I think it is absolutely ridiculous and more than a lot of the decisions regarding college football these days, I think this one will end up being more momentous.

Was he a Week 1 starter as a freshman? I know he played in all 13 games his freshman year and racked up solid statistics, but I can't remember if he was a starter from the get-go. Whatever, he was a really good player for the Gophers and he never backed down. At 185 pounds, he never hesitated...

I think that we will witness a lot of 3-star and 4-star high school QB prospects head to either smaller or less-prestigious programs where they can start right away in hopes of building a resume that will allow them to move up.

That is the avenue. I could see a class action anti-trust suit being filed against the NCAA. My primary fear is that the whole concept of student/athlete is simply going to go the way of the dinosaur.

I never thought of that angle, but--and I am totally spitballing here--the NIL could become a quasi-Green Bay Packer model of franchise ownership at the college level that could allow the big hitters to exit the NCAA and start their own gig. Although there's currenty a saturation of football on...

I think this ruling if it stands will have a major effect on the college game. This could be construed as the court saying that any eligibility limits impinge upon the right of a player to earn money.

Has the Washington OT we offered decided where he's headed?

MIchael Vick goes coast-to-coast on the rumor mill and accepts the head coaching job at Norfolk State (VA). He is a Virginia native, so it makes a lot of sense. School mascot is a Spartan, but Norfolk State is in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference along with the South Carolina State Bulldogs...

I believe that the strategy in hiring Ben Johnson is that he had good relationships with the AAU framework in Minnesota. That hasn't really materialized, but the absolute blowing-up of the NIL and portal took place after Johnson took the job. I don't know if Johnson would have been a better...

Are you just looking for work as his personal driver?

At least the school mascot is a hornet and not a Pit Bull.

True, but I've always thought that experience and continuity are more important to OLs than other positions.

Not to mention that the Lindbergh baby is missing.

I don't know if NIL has anything much to do with it (probably some), but it does hurt when a guy who was likely slated to be a contributor (perhaps starter) on the O-line up and leaves.

I think Lawrence will slide right into the regular rotation and provide a lot of help.

Probably red-shirted.
