Football question

OU has never thought he would get his appeal granted ..

I never said they did expect to win the case. I said that the case they have been making publicly has included a ton of references to "this poor dude shouldn't lose a year for playing 3 games of lacrosse."

to be clear i was not saying you did ...

just pointing out that they are supporting him publicly mostly for PR proposes . (they also clearly believe what they are saying )

Ok. How much do you bill by the hour? I assume you are living the life of luxury since you apparently are an ace lawyer with intricate knowledge of NCAA rules.

I'm not going to let you gas light me into thinking I'm not smart enough to understand a relatively SIMPLE NCAA eligibility rule that hasn't changed in decades.

The rule is simple. Just because Owen and OU want to fight it given the current college athletic landscape, doesn't mean they have a case or think they have a case.

If YOU don't understand the rule, that's a YOU problem.

I don't think he plans on suing if he loses his appeal of this decision i think he currently plans to go to the NFL

I believe that choice would be very unwise

 

[hoopsaustin]

Such BS.

We literally have someone that played professional basketball on our team

Juco doesn’t count anymore.

Why dos 13 minutes of lacrosse count and why can’t he get an injury year?

Pro bball player?

It's not my opinion. It's my factual interpretation of the rules. This has nothing to do with lacrosse. If that is what Owen and OU want to argue, it's a bad choice of facts to argue, and they are only doing so in hopes of generating an emotional (not a factual) response.

You are mainly correct. But they certainly will be using lacrosse for the narrative

Well here you're being obtuse acting like eligibility rules are still being fairly enforced and concretely. See: pavia and juco eligibility rules completely thrown out
