Wow! A major outstanding issue goes in favor of the NCAA.

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

The magistrate judge in the House case has denied plaintiff attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and Steve Berman’s challenge of the CSC over associated entities.

MMRs and sponsors will remain associated entities and are subject to scrutiny through the clearinghouse.

Big win for NCAA.

@AndySpecht Capital to acquire Jaylen Brown?

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

@McCannSportsLaw @Sportico Going to be interesting to watch how Kessler frames the disease argument plus the NFL’s significant interest in benefitting off of gambling activity.

Worked the last time they went to court.

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

@murphsturph Good value to own an NHL team when you consider that just the expansion fee for an MLB team will likely be 3-4 Billion.

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

Think he goes for the injunction?

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Just in: NFL is declining to hold a supplemental draft this summer, currently leaving the 2027 Draft as the only way for QB Brendan Sorsby to enter the NFL.

A letter is being sent to Sorsby, and to all 32 NFL teams, to inform them of the league’s decision.

The league continues to try to show it has little tolerance for gambling issues.

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

Canes knew the legal problems that could arise from a (allegedly) drunk individual signing a contract.

Big brain move.

[Cory Lavalette @corylav]

Only a handful of people — Tulsky, Deslauriers, Brind’Amour and a few in the front office — knew Deslauriers had agreed to an extension when it was announced on stage during the parade. Hence the reaction from his teammates.

And for the people who are concerned he signed a contract while drinking (🙄), no, that wasn’t the “official” paperwork — Deslauriers had already signed that before.

@RohanLawPC Welcome to NC!

[Cory Lavalette @corylav]

I asked Jordan Staal if he thought about going out on a high note.

“No. I want another one.”

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

We were robbed of a fun legal battle.

However, given how this thing was escalating, it’s best for all sides.

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire is informing the team now that QB Brendan Sorsby is entering the NFL supplemental draft, sources tell @YahooSports

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

Big 12 going on the offensive.

Can't blame them. We will see if it pays off.

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

NEWS: The Big 12 has filed a legal complaint in federal court against Texas Tech & the Texas AG, seeking declaratory judgement and a preliminary injunction to enforce its bylaws and potentially sanction the school for its plans to play Brendan Sorsby.

[Carolina Hurricanes @Canes]

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

Shift after shift! Let’s go Canes!!!!

[NHL @NHL]

Time to go 😤

See if the @Canes will take it all in the #StanleyCup Final against the @GoldenKnights TONIGHT at 8p ET on ABC, @Sportsnet, and @TVASports! 🏆

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

@samcehrlich @slmandel The irreparable harm part of Sorsby isn’t the most controversial part.

[Carolina Hurricanes @Canes]

THREE DOWN, ONE TO GO!!!

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

@TomMarsLaw And all their public comments about needing Congress to act have come back to haunt them.

[Landis Barber @LandisBarber]

Interesting idea from the ADs. But the revenue loss would be significant. This seems to just be posturing and airing grievances.

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

Big 12 ADs tell @YahooSports they’ve had “serious” talks on not playing Texas Tech. One SEC AD says there should be conversations about not playing Tech “in any sports.”

The Brendan Sorsby ruling has left an industry jarred.

“It’s total f***** bullshit.”
