Donna Shalala will lead the UM contingent and she is a powerful person and we couldn't ask for anyone better to be there. Attorney Michael Glazier the hired outside counsel will be there presumably with staff and likely to be there are UM's General Counsel Aileen Ugalde (former wife of US Congressman and UM Alum Joe Garcia) and UM attorney Judd Goldberg. Blake James, Al Golden and Jim Larranaga are supposed to be there as well.
As for the COI I would expect that Christopher Griffin (FSU Alum) of the law firm of Foley & Lardner might have to recuse himself. The law firm has potential UM associated conflicts?
My personal opinion is that Shalala will want the U.S. Congress to regulate collegiate athletics in some way and to minimize the NCAA. There is no way Miami or Donna Shalala are accepting "lack of institutional control" or additional bowl bans. The NCAA staff has not learned that Nevin Shapiro is an outright liar, he just admitted it to the Federal Court several weeks ago and the judge who sentenced him said he was a liar. If his mouth is moving, his hand writing he's lying, it's that simple his word and testimony are worthless.
There could be Federal lawsuits brought against the NCAA and the Eligibility Center brought by both the University of Miami and other parties with standing. The Eligibility Center (Clearinghouse) is very vulnerable to being sued; they discriminate while controlling a monopoly.
"At Shapiro’s 2011 sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton was so taken aback by Shapiro’s twisted narcissism, she wondered whether there was a “pathological component” to his bizarre insistence that he was the real victim in his $930 million Ponzi fraud, and that his duped investors should have known that the returns he was offering in his grocery arbitrage scheme were not realistic."
"Judge Wigenton refused to lower Shapiro’s 20-year prison sentence, saying, “While you certainly have pled guilty, it appears to be this desire to, I don’t know, perhaps blame others, soil others, the reputation of others....”
