I still want an answer as to how Pig ***** Perez billed so many hours to the NCAA. People seem to be brushing under the rug the fact that she billed likely around 100 hours or more to the NCAA. Do folks realize how much time that is? The Allen depo was about 3 hours long according to some. What did she give them with the other 97 hours? There's a lot more going on here than has been disclosed.

I'm not dismissing it. It's hugely significant. Would love to see the actual bills. I know the Bar is going to see them...

The NCAA report has her itemized invoice if you want to know specifically what she billed for. Its all there. NCAA.org

I am a physician but I love all these legal insights . One question .Lets say this Kabuki dance betwen the U and the NCAA isnt settled and the NCAA comes out with further penalties. If the U sues can the court halt all proceedings by the NCAA until the case is settled?

It's pretty close to inconceivable that a court would entertain review of a situation like this before the private consensual dispute resolution process was even completed.

Theoretically, the University could sue at any time once there is a threat of irreparable harm. Until it exhausts its right to appeal any penalties, however, there's a strong argument that there is no threat of irreparable harm - i.e., the threatened harm (institution of penalties) could still be avoided absent court intervention if the appeal is successful. I think that's what Ethnic is implying. Of course, that doesn't mean the University cannot file a lawsuit until after it exhausts its rights to appeal.

As I said...

Theory is for classrooms. No court is going to enjoin the NCAA investigation here before it's run its course.

According to the report she charged $350 an hour and billed a total of $57,115. So if it was all hourly it's roughly 163 hours.. Like I mentioned earlier she was either being payed based on incentives according to the amount and extent of info she brought in and/or did a lot more for the NCAA then they are mentioning currently

Exactly what I was getting at when I brought this up yesterday. I've seen no one broach this subject in the media, and I think it is HUGELY important as to the depth of the involvement. They're trying to brush it off as her aksing a few questions at Allen's depo, but it's clearly FAR deeper than that.

Let me also add that $350/hour is likely well beyond her normal pay scale based upon her ability.

I'm thinking $8.75 per hour is well beyond what she can earn based on ability.

I think after this she will be selling hot dogs on the street corner.

The bills covered several months between, I think, October 2011 and July 2012. That certainly involves more than just asking questions at a deposition or two.

Emmert wouldnt have confessed they f*cked up and been all ****ed off if they had an attorney client privilege.

"Whoops, my bad. We were allowed to do that after all. Back to f*ck you Miami."

And, to my knowledge, they had no client in the bankruptcy hearing

Good point. To claim attorney client privilege, wouldn't they have to admit she was working for them during the bankruptcy proceedings?

Doesn't matter. Classic conflict of interest and worse, a fraud upon the court.

What's amazing is that Emmert hired one of those ruthless DOJ attorneys from Washington, Wainstein, to whitewash it, and still move forward with a badly corrupted set of findings.

My brothers,

Have you never seen a legal bill? If the woman took a dump while daydreaming about the sweat bullets she saw fall from Sean Allen's face during his deposition, she'd bill them for it. Her hourly rate was $350 (more than a sane man would pay that woman but not at all an inordinate rate for an experienced lawyer), but you bet she billed the NCAA for every related expense, as well, and those "expenses" can be racked up quite quickly.

And legal bill line items are contested all of the time. Corporations have complete departments dedicated to taking red markers to their legal bills. "Nope, we will not pay for that filing, that travel expense is not ours..." That sort of stuff. The report suggests that the NCAA was surprised that Perez's legal bills exceeded $15K.

I think this probably has more to do with Perez's billing practices than it does about the actual hours she spent working the NCAA's case for them.

Pretty sure Franchise has seen a legal bill before and knows what he is talking about when questioning 163 hours of work

Pretty sure that at least part of my point was that a ~$57K legal bill does not typically denote 163 hours of actual work.

Gotcha. I just trust that guy when it comes to legal stuff. Your post does make tons of sense though
