@LeePaceTweet Lee- following Woody was a tough act to follow - but you were a fitting replacement and now - you’ll be a tough act to follow. Thanks Lee for all that you are

@KeepingItHeel @BraulioEPerez Do I feel “terrible” for Veesaar. Not really. Who I feel sorry for are the thousands of former collegiate athletes who were deprived of the opportunity to play a fifth year of college athletics by the NCAA who has now changed the rule that they promised they weren’t considering

[Gary K. Shipman @GKShipman]

@officer_Lew You’re a freak job

[Gary K. Shipman @GKShipman]

So - 70 new members of the UNC football team were not 7th graders beginning middle school football that never played the game before. They were highly experienced D1 football players. So why do they look like 7th graders in middle school? Coaching - period

[Gary K. Shipman @GKShipman]

If he’s given another year of eligibility he can stay at NC State and withdraw his name from the transfer portal. With a new coach in place there may not be a desire to keep him but he was a really valuable player on the team this year. Putting his name in transfer portal was a smart move

[Gary K. Shipman @GKShipman]

So today we filed an action against the NCAA for its anticompetitive rules limiting eligibility to 4 “seasons”

[Sam C. Ehrlich @samcehrlich]

And here's another eligibility-related lawsuit against the NCAA.

NC State football player Corey Coley Jr. has filed a lawsuit seeking a fifth year of eligibility based in part on a raft of injuries he suffered during his four years at NCSU and Maryland. https://t.co/KrKSWhW1x4

@RCorySmith It’s simply amazing to me that last March Pack fans were building a statue of Keatts; oh how time flies

[Gary K. Shipman @GKShipman]

The number of kids and their parents who are being completely misled and underrepresented in their quest to maximize their NIL opportunities is astonishing. Choose competence over hyperbole and BS!

[Gary K. Shipman @GKShipman]

So - I remember this other rookie player that came into an under appreciated League; was branded a superstar within a month; was an instant fan favorite; but hated by the vets because of the attention he received. His name? Michael Jordan.

@WillManny_1 Hurts me to watch

@sschildr @alexandrajwhite This valuable research continues to shed much needed light on the potential dangers associated with the use of these products manufactured and distributed by a largely unregulated industry in the US.

[Gary K. Shipman @GKShipman]

So - had meeting this week with an incredible young man and his family about the reality of collegiate and professional sports and how attorneys provide protection and services that others can’t provide - which includes a duty of honesty and candor. They hadn’t heard that

[Trey Wallace @TreyWallace]

Clemson’s Dabo Swinney went on an epic 5-minute rant tonight after ‘Tyler, from Spartanburg’ asked him about his $11.5 million salary and 4-4 season.

“I’m not gonna sit here and let you, I don’t care how much money I make. You’re not gonna talk to me like I’m 12-years old..”

[Gary K. Shipman @GKShipman]

So - here it comes; as I’ve predicted for 2 years.

So - grasp this Damar Hamlin situation rekindles questions over NFL player contracts

@TreBos10 Baker Mayfield is who the Browns knew him to be. Defense couldn’t get off the field in 2nd half

[Gary K. Shipman @GKShipman]

So let’s face it. Baker Mayfield is who the Browns knew him to be - or better said - not to be.
