Jett Elad Can Play!! Judge Enjoins NCAA Enforcement of 5 Year Rule

[Knight Shift]

Woo hoo. Screw the NCAA. Rutger wins!!!




For those that care about the law, here's the decision. @retired711

"Schiano also opined as to what
he believes will be Elad’s success in the NFL should Elad be permitted to play at Rutgers this
season. Schiano was not formally presented as an expert in this regard, but based on his experience
and qualifications, as well as the nature and demeanor of his testimony on that issue, the Court
found Schiano’s opinion testimony credible and also assigns it substantial weight."

"Schiano further unequivocally stated when asked whether “Elad is an NFL-
caliber safety” that “Yes, he is.” (Tr. at 72:22–24.) On top of this, Schiano testified that “[w]ith
the exception of injury, which you can never predict—that’s God’s will[,] ut if [Elad] were to
stay healthy, he’ll be an NFL safety.” (Tr. at 74:13–15.) The personal and financial value of
making that dream real is beyond this Court’s capacity to measure."

The NCAA’s stated goal is to “provide student-athletes safe, fair, and inclusive
athletic competition and exceptional academic experiences that foster lifelong well-being.”

Super win for Greg and Jett!

NCAA smacked down again. Their $1,250 per hour expert was no match for Greg’s testimony.

Judge mentioned conflicting decisions on NCAA eligibility clock mean Supreme Court might need to rule on it.

Fairly sure that the NCAA would have to first file an appeal. "Normally," the Supreme Court will take on an issue if there is conflict between/among Federal Circuit Courts of Appeals (not Federal district courts), and with respect to jurisdiction, they hear appeals from Federal Appellate courts. Doubt the NCAA will do that, given the time to file, hear the appeal, the issue will be moot because the football season will be over. @retired711 , does that sound right?

But we have a lot of amateur experts on the board who may weigh in.

The Supreme Court, as you know, does not hear appeals from district court decisions except in the most extraordinary circumstances. The NCAA might run to the 3rd circuit and try to get it to decide the matter quickly. (But I have seen articles suggesting that the NCAA may just give up and relax its rules.) The Supreme Court will get involved, if at all, if a conflict arises among the circuit courts.

Here’s hoping the NCAA stops wasting money on lawyers.

Like for good. They seem to lose every case they’re in.
I think I could beat the ncaa in a law suit as a pro se !

Undoubtedly. The NCAA doesn't seem to realize that the law and the facts are against them. Their lawyers should be telling them that it doesn't pay to fight lawsuit after lawsuit and lose every time.

Lol I would think that cuts into billable hours.

I imagine a whole bunch of us on this board have suddenly found ourselves eligible for next season.

If Terry Shea was still the coach , some of us would make the two-deep.

Let me quote a nineteenth-century lawyer in a lecture:

"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser -- in fees and expenses, and in waste of time. As a peacemaker a lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough."

That lawyer was very successful both in his legal practice and afterward. His name was Abraham Lincoln.
