Ive heard LeBatard talk about this multiple times and it makes absolutely no ****ing sense. He's an idiot who hasnt been following the story and has no clue as to how the NCAA process or legal system works. Suing the NCAA wouldn't happen until after the NCAA sanctions come out already. The NCAA can't sanction us MORE because we file a lawsuit, and the judge doesnt have the power to sanction us either. There will be no uncertainty in terms of bowl appearances and scholarships while the lawsuit is pending. We will know the ceiling of what our penalties are, and in the remote event a lawsuit changes anything it will be in our favor.
So in short, Le Batard has no earthly idea what he is talking about and should stick to parading his dad's accent around and race baiting.
But that is not what he is saying......If you read the article.
He is stating.....that the NCAA was not going to say what we self-imposed was enough no matter what and always add something more(not that they are going to add more for a lawsuit...nobody said that)...under the premise that you don't let a guilty party decide what their own punishment should be.
But more to the point.....He was arguing that it is basically a "NO-WIN" scenario to fight and sue the NCAA......If you sue, your situation still will not be resolved for how long....1,2,3+ years......
Meanwhile, you still have recruiting class after recruiting class extremely hampered because of it.....So your in default probation anyway for even longer. If you win....Great....But we will be talking about 2015,2016 maybe until this is all cleared.
He was just expressing the point that by suing the NCAA and dragging this out further.....UM still will be suffering while the NCAA is not....That is why very few schools will challenge the NCAA.
Is 10-15 scholarships and another bowl ban worth dragging this out for another 2-3 years? Most schools decide that the "extra penalty" is worth more than another 2+ years of the black cloud.
