@DouglasTS @WinterSportsLaw Really excellent points Doug. The NCAA should have the right to set & enforce its own rules without being overruled by 1 donor/alumni judge that cries while he reads the decision then gets an autograph from the player

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@BudElliott3 Good point, does this bill protect all NCAA eligibility decisions from booster/alum judge overrule?
Or strictly eligibility decisions related to gambling?

Needs to protect all ncaa eligibility decisions

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@SenSanders As a staunch fiscal conservative, I wholeheartedly agree with this Bern

The income cap for social security needs to be raised significantly

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@MichaelBorkey You, a typical biased fan, liked the protection the OM fan & alumni judge allowed Chambliss, but predictably don’t agree w the interference of the courts in any other matter

You can’t have it both ways

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@MichaelBorkey Unsurprisingly, you’re still lost

Sure, the type of decisions these injunctions are overturning have to do w several unrelated NCAA rules

The point is that courts have NO BUSINESS involving themselves w any of them. The NCAA should be allowed to set & enforce its own rules

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@MPiatt8 @Mathieu_Era Well it used to when the rules were actually rules that you have to go by

But now the rules mean nothing if you know a judge

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@Moustache_bq @espn Posts like this just don’t get it

The big picture is that a private organization should be able to set and enforce its own rules. A friendly judge should be able to overturn whatever they want

Should courts involve themselves every time the NFL/NBA issues a suspension?

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@AuburnBlazer @CharlieBakerMA What does collective bargaining have to do with courts being able to overturn a private organizations ability to enforce its own rules?

Legally, the way I see it, this judge could file this same injunction against the NFL/NBA if they suspended a player for gambling

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@bgtennisnation Rules are always too vague there. If you need to go to restroom, basically you can exploit that rule

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@Dun4Luke @TeddysGrandson1 @OleMissEvie The whole point that all of you are missing is that a hometown judge has no business overruling a private organization’s interpretation & enforcement of its rules.
Just as a Lubbock judge shouldn’t be able to say Sorsby can play b/c he’s a fan & says Sorsby had mental issues

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@Dun4Luke @TeddysGrandson1 @OleMissEvie Was Mars even there? Because the only two lawyers that spoke were OM alums, 1 of which founded their collective
Judge cried reading the decision, then got autographs

Literally everyone involved in that courtroom had a vested interest

Never seen a bigger conflict of interest

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@OleMissEvie @TeddysGrandson1 Watched the whole thing, the Dr that “testified” never treated Trinidad and didn’t even know him at the time(& happened to be an OM booster).

Trinidad himself said he practiced without limitation

Ferris said he didn’t play bc of competitive circumstances

Sham

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@gkketch @gkketch is what happens when you think you’re the smartest person in the room but you’re really just a fansite writer w an opinion that’s no more informed than the average fan

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@gkketch @friedhotcakes Collective bargaining would change the model from student to employee, a shift no college administrator has advocated for

It would allow players to ask for 50% of dept revenue, but which players? Only fball/bball?

W this model 12-20 sports are supported & fball gets the NIL

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@OleMissEvie Ferris state’s statement tells the truth when it stated “Chambliss’ not participating in games was due to competitive circumstances, not illness”
To translate since you’re a blithering idiot, that means he wasn’t going to play b/c he was 3rd-4th string that yr

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@OleMissEvie You mean from the Ole Miss booster Dr that never treated Chambliss at the time and only commented on his record “potential” of what tonsillitis could do in its worst form?
In Chambliss’ own words during the hearing “I practiced all yr w no limitations”
It was a complete sham

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@OleMissEvie Everyone outside of the Ole Miss fanbase understands this

[Roberto Duran @MS_SportsGuy]

@OleMissEvie “Playing for 3 yrs” has nothing to do w anything. If I’m on a roster for 5 yrs but never played because I was 5th string, should I be able to stay and play 4 more yrs?
Injury didn’t prevent Chambliss from playing, evidenced by the fact he practiced all yr “without limitation”
