Coming soon, to a late night TV ad near you:
If you or a loved one has been shortchanged under an athletic scholarship., consider speaking to an experienced anti-trust lawyer. For years, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP has helped bring justice and compensation to thousands of student-athlete anti-trust victims — and their families. We are advocates for our clients and are here to serve them first.
As an aside, “NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn could be immediately reached for comment.” I can’t help but wonder – what exactly does Stacey do for a living? Because she never seems to speak when reached for comment.

Other than pushing an all-problem solving 2k onto their plate and creating other problems in other sports and with Title IX, what exactly has been formulated that would make the monies fair to everyone?

I don’t believe Georgia has short changed any athletes. Wonder how the brain trust at Bama is feeling right now? That reserve fund that Greg is protecting is starting to look like a pretty good strategy.

I don’t have any special insights into the motivations of either party at the time, but it sure felt like Decory Bryant got short-changed after his neck injury. While his situation may be an indictment on the health insurance industry, it sure seemed like Butts-Mehre could have done more for him. But hey – they’ve got that all that money in their precious reserve fund..

Good point. I never was able to wrap my head around the why and how of that insurance misstep.

Was the Fund endowed by the NCAA each year (over 1M last time I saw it at UGA) used in his case? That’s not a reserve fund under Mac, is it?
