Now — I don’t know whether this is legal gamesmanship or not, but, if actually true, it’s very sad to see. Marry the right person and spend below your means. The car you drive ain’t a flex.

Honestly — not a bad point at all.

Rick Barnes said today he has an idea for the NCAA. Clear all the fifth-year players looking for eligibility in the courts. Then take all the money that would've been spent on legal fees and give it to the Olympic sports that need it. 🔗 on3.com/teams/tennessee-volu…

Sam has followed these cases across the nation very closely.
Sam C. Ehrlich@samcehrlichOct 22
Reading through the Pinioin/Simpson decision, the federal judge was quite a bit more deferential to the NCAA's role as a rulemaking body for college sports than most courts have been. Bad luck for those two players, and for Providence.

Remember — the NCAA has presented their side of this case TONS of times vs. the plaintiffs. They have this down. Having said that — the legal bar for awarding a TRO is very much attainable given what substantively needs to be proven. What just occurred should be weighed more substantively than the eloquence of its presentation. Ps - I am more nervous now that before though. Real talk.

In the words of the late great Coach AAR! “Reeeeeelaxxxxxxx” Friartown! The Friars will be just fine! Dink Pate will always be a Friar, and we fully support his decision given the uncertainty of his situation due to the NCAA’s ruling regarding his time in the G-League. Fair, no….not even close. But life is not fair, and the Friar’s will fight on! Go Friars!!! Love you kid! @IAMTHESHOOTER1 Go be great!!!
