34
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:51,319

sometimes sport cord is very, very fun.

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 4: Let's get into this.

37
00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Judge has ruled that player with NBA experience can return

38
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:02,000
to play for U Bama for now, but could open

39
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,519
the door for other players. What's the most recent ruling

40
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:11,919
on players getting NBA experience and then playing college basketball?

41
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, Ben, it's reading that headline is kind of crazy, right.

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,599
Al Abama player allowed to return to college after three

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,080
years of entering the NBA draft well, a lot of

44
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:27,719
legal issues right now because of NIL and transfer portal.

45
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:31,719
They involve eligibility in the NCAA. So we're going to

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,280
dive in on this one. What this involves is Charles Bidiaco,

47
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:40,360
who is a seven foot center all SEC defensive players,

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,159
so you know, good skills. Well, back in twenty twenty three,

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,159
he enters the NBA Draft and he doesn't get drafted,

50
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:51,680
but he signed some G League contracts, signed three different

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,719
G League contracts at different types and plays for NBA

52
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,919
franchises essentially, but he never plays in the NBA game. Well, now,

53
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:02,639
Charles were going to call him Charles in Charge. He

54
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:05,360
isn't digging the G League and so he wants to

55
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,800
go back to school. He wants to go back to

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,080
Alabama says he has eligibility left, and so he has

57
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:13,759
gone to the NCAA and say he wants to it,

58
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:17,960
and the NCAA says, well, and interestingly enough, Alabama wants

59
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,360
him back. You know, they're number seventeen in the country

60
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,120
and they want the guy back. Well, the NCAA says, no,

61
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:27,400
not so fast. You're you don't recruit, you don't meet

62
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:29,840
our eligibility requirements. And the NCAA came in and said,

63
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:33,000
we have not and we will not grant eligibility to

64
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,240
any perspective returning student athlete who have signed an NBA contract.

65
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:40,080
They say this is based on the belief that eligibility

66
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,879
rules ensure high school students get a shot at earning scholarships,

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,039
and we will continue to consistently apply to fend these rules,

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,800
essentially saying, hey, players will leave college and schools, they

69
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,000
re up and they get other players in and everyone's

70
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,639
plans on these roster spots. Well, now what's happened because

71
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:04,560
he is pushed back. Charles has sued the NCAAA and

72
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:08,360
he's requesting what's called a temporary restraining order. He's gone

73
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,919
to the judge and said, I need a temporary restraining

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,840
order because if you don't allow me this, I will

75
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,319
be anti it'll be anti competitive, and I won't be

76
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,600
allowed to compete. Well, the judge agreed with him for now.

77
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:25,879
The judge granted the temporary restraining order, saying that the

78
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,360
NCAA is prevented for the time being enforcing their eligibility

79
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:34,160
rule and that they've set a hearing for ten days

80
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:37,959
from now, So right now he's eligible to go back

81
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,079
to school and play at Alabama. He points to a

82
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,800
situation we talked about a few weeks ago where a

83
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,319
player that had played actually had been drafted in the NBA,

84
00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:51,680
but it went over and played in Europe, played pro.

85
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:55,560
Apparently the NCAA sees that is different than signing an

86
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,600
NBA contract, and he was allowed to go back to Baylor.

87
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,160
So all of these situations, you know, they're kind of crazy,

88
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:06,240
you know, thinking, oh, someone's left school, has been a

89
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,920
pro even in the you know, NBA organizations, and now

90
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:12,319
can come back and play. You know, I think b

91
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,959
y E. Didn't they sign somebody that I don't know

92
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:16,920
what they did, but they've.

93
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: Got yeah, b doo, he's uh, he played in the

94
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:20,759
G League.

95
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 5: He played in the G League. So right now, for

96
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:26,480
now he's eligible. So for the next ten days he

97
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:29,279
can play. We'll see what the court says.

98
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting because obviously the legality of it, you

99
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:38,319
can play, you can, you should be eligible. You're in school, right,

100
00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:40,240
you're in the G League, you're in the NBA, you

101
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,319
can come back or whatever.

102
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: You're in the EuroLeague.

103
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: You should be able to go to school and be

104
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:49,680
eligible to play basketball. The interesting thing is this. There's

105
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,120
a legal component that we're discussing. I'm wondering if the

106
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:02,079
NCAA can legally disqualify teams that play players that would

107
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,240
be deemed maybe ineligible per their bylaws from entering into

108
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,480
the NCAA tournament. Does that make sense, Like, if they disqualify.

109
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:12,519
Speaker 5: I haven't we haven't heard that issue come up. I've

110
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,480
been him on the school. Have thought that once you

111
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,319
leave school and give up your eligibility and enter, you know,

112
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,680
enter a draft and play pro, I don't think you

113
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,879
should be able to go back. I think the NCAA's

114
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:26,800
role there, and I think the nca is going to

115
00:06:26,879 --> 00:06:29,399
win this one. I really do. I think that he

116
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:32,879
signed an NBA contract and played for three different G

117
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,839
League teams. I'm I'm of the mind that hey, you

118
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,199
need to move on now. And you know, if this

119
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,680
takes place in all these NCAA teams are bringing back

120
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,040
players that you know, obviously they're talented players. This guy's

121
00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:47,759
seven foot was a defensive you know, all defensive team.

122
00:06:48,079 --> 00:06:51,279
He can help a college team, right, so you know,

123
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,079
and in the middle of the season too. This isn't

124
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,199
actually at the beginning of the season. This is right

125
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:57,759
in the middle of the season when teams are you know,

126
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,079
vamping up for the for their conference game. So I'm

127
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,120
personally against it. The legalities are different, the anti trust

128
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:08,519
laws and you know what will apply here. So it's

129
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,920
you're weighing the issue of eligibility rules in the NCAA.

130
00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:15,879
We can call them laws, but they're actually administrative rules

131
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,680
and laws such as anti trust laws. Does the anti

132
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,399
trust law applying this situation? And we're going to talk

133
00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:24,759
about a case later on where the judge said no,

134
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:28,079
it didn't meet anti trust musters. So that's my take.

135
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's interesting because, like I, I go

136
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,079
back and forth with this legality and morality, right ethics,

137
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:37,920
you know, they all kind of cross pollinate and they

138
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,120
kind of intersect sometimes. It's like how we've been operating

139
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,000
in the past, you know, is probably the right moral

140
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,319
ethical The non nil non trust portal era kind of

141
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:53,160
took advantage of the student athlete right for their earning

142
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,120
potential when everyone else was making millions, hundreds of millions

143
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:03,680
athletic departments, coaches, TV per universities. Right, they're all making

144
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:08,279
nc double as a two billion dollar organization, and now

145
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:10,560
the players are making money, and you know, and they're

146
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,680
they're going towards the money they're in the G League,

147
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,439
but they can make more money in the NC Double A.

148
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: Now we kind of we're.

149
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: At an impass and that's the struggle right now, we're

150
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,680
at an impass.

151
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, let me throw a crazy situation out there. I

152
00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:27,560
think three years out. I mean I agree with the

153
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,439
nil and the eligibility and the transfer portal. I mean,

154
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:34,840
that's that's the today's game. But what if Lebron said, hey,

155
00:08:34,879 --> 00:08:36,480
you know what, I never went to college. I have

156
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:39,840
four years of eligibility left. What would happen there?

157
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: That's that is the extreme.

158
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 5: That's the extreme. Plenty of players were one and done

159
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:50,759
and let's say their NBA career craps out, it doesn't

160
00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:52,240
go like it was supposed to. An they think cale

161
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:52,960
I could earn.

162
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 4: I can still make some money.

163
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: He can be a washed up forty five year old

164
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,240
plane for you know, usc h.

165
00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:02,759
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure there's some people that would love

166
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,399
to see that.

167
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 5: What if it's a twenty five year old, you know,

168
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,879
who just kind of didn't make in the NBA, played

169
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:11,279
a couple of years and thinks, god, I could probably

170
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,039
go make a million dollars a year playing for a

171
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,360
college team. You know that that that changes everything?

172
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:22,039
Speaker 1: Well, all one up you here, what if he he

173
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,600
all of a sudden decided I'm Lebrona James and wants

174
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:27,559
to play college women's college basketball.

175
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 4: You know, I'm just saying what I mean, I'm just saying.

176
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 5: Well, the Supreme Court is working on that right now.

177
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:40,679
The uh but but yeah, the Supreme Court's working on

178
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,399
that right now. The the issue of trans athletes, mainly

179
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:50,720
trans females playing in female sports.

180
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,399
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, well no it did I say. I

181
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,240
called you guys, dudes. I'm like guys like this, you know.

182
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,919
Speaker 1: Like when you get into the the legal, moral, ethical

183
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,519
right thing to do, they all intersect right like it's

184
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,519
it becomes it becomes very it becomes very nuanced and

185
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,120
controversial and politicized in these realms.

186
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 4: Do you guys see it?

187
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean people would definitely see that. And

188
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,440
I think we're trying to right now focus on the

189
00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:27,559
you know, I mean, you know, old timers, you know, traditionalists,

190
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,639
they don't want to see any of this stuff, you know,

191
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,080
but it's the it's the way of college athletics and

192
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:37,960
mainly football, and basketball. Now the the eligibility is being

193
00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:43,360
challenged obviously nil and and players really, as we know,

194
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:46,480
their motivation to have more eligibility is not so they

195
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,399
can go to biology class so they can earn ANIL contract.

196
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 4: No doubt about.

197
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:54,759
Speaker 5: Oh crap, this is I'm not going to play real pros,

198
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,399
so how can I just play here in the semi pros?

199
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: No doubt about it. Let's talk about Duke.

200
00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: Duke issuing quarterback who entered the transfer portal for a

201
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,279
breach of NIO contract and he's trying to block that transfer.

202
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:12,679
Update today Judge Grant's Duke a tro they hit pause,

203
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,240
QB can't transfer for now?

204
00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:15,039
Speaker 4: Give us an update?

205
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 3: Sure, Ben, Yeah, this is Darien Mensa you know, has

206
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,679
been a great player quarterback for Duke. And in December

207
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,759
of twenty twenty four, so going back more than a

208
00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:29,279
year ago, he signed a two year contract with Duke.

209
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,879
And so now just last Friday, as the transfer window

210
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,919
portal is closing, he entered, tells Duke he I want

211
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,519
to I want to enter the portal and so this

212
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,000
sets into motion right all of the legal issues, and

213
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:50,440
so Duke pretty quickly files a lawsuit to essentially enforce

214
00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:52,399
the contract that they have with him. They're like, hey,

215
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:55,080
wait a minute, we have a contract. You know, we

216
00:11:55,159 --> 00:11:58,559
have exclusive rights to your NIL. You're going to play

217
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,720
for us. We've got a deal. We were paying you

218
00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:02,360
money and you need to play for us. And so

219
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,360
he wants out of the contract. We saw this a

220
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:07,840
little bit with the Washington quarterback a week or so

221
00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:10,639
ago as well, who kind of put his toe in

222
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,440
the water over this and then kind of withdrew it

223
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,279
and said, Okay, I'll guess I'll stay. After Washington made

224
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,879
similar threats, but Duke is following through. They filed this

225
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,000
lawsuit and with it requested a temporary restraining order, and

226
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:25,759
like you mentioned, the judge went ahead and had to

227
00:12:25,799 --> 00:12:29,039
act kind of quickly on this because of the transfer

228
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,679
portal and granted the tro And so what it means

229
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:35,440
is that he cannot enroll in another school and he

230
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:38,799
can't license his NIL rights to anybody else, and so

231
00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:41,559
kind of I think with the judge, what this does

232
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,039
in a way is buys some time, because there's another

233
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,320
hearing coming up on February second, just here in a

234
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:53,759
few weeks where they'll consider our prelimara injunction. But yeah,

235
00:12:53,799 --> 00:12:55,159
I mean this goes back to what you guys were

236
00:12:55,159 --> 00:12:58,039
talking about a minute ago, right about what's right. I mean,

237
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,000
he told Duke, I'm going to play for you guys.

238
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:02,360
And I think the other issue that we have here

239
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:08,039
is now this year, we're dealing with one transfer portal window, right,

240
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,480
and so teams are scrambling, the schools are and players, right,

241
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,320
everybody's kind of waiting around to see what's going to

242
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:17,480
happen right where, where, And especially with these quarterbacks, the

243
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,840
high paid quarterbacks, where are they going to land and

244
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,759
what school needs somebody? And now they're desperate, maybe they'll

245
00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:26,879
pay more money, Maybe I can get more, and so

246
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:29,320
they want to get out of these out of these contracts.

247
00:13:29,799 --> 00:13:32,960
But yeah, it just really has the potential for just

248
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:35,879
a lot of chaos if there can be no predictability

249
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,679
for when a player is going to stay or not.

250
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,639
So you know that Duke's Duke's gonna hold them to it.

251
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:42,679
They're going to try anyway.

252
00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: These quarterbacks trying to get that eligibility. I'll miss quarterback

253
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:50,279
Trinidade Chamblet Chamblissho is also trying to sue the NC

254
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,320
double A with a medical waiver system trying to maybe

255
00:13:55,399 --> 00:13:59,840
circumvent some medical eligibility bylaws that have been that have

256
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,480
imposed by the NCAA.

257
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,759
Speaker 4: What do you got for us here.

258
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Trinidad Chambless again. Eligibility is the name of the game.

259
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,960
Trinidadad Trinidad. Chamblis wants a six year of eligibility. And

260
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,159
his claim is he's gone to the NCAA and you know,

261
00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:18,759
ask for an extra year of eligibility and the NCAA

262
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,720
has denied it. And his claim is that while he

263
00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:28,080
was playing for you know, the powerhouse Ferris State. I

264
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,320
don't even know what division they are. He claims that

265
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,279
in twenty twenty two, he, you know, because of medical issues.

266
00:14:36,559 --> 00:14:39,320
He said he was incapacitated and he had an injury

267
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,240
that prevented him from playing that year. And the NCAA

268
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,200
they looked at it and said, wait a minute. The

269
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,919
proper documentation from that time period was not provided, and

270
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,600
Farris State's reasoning for Chambliss was that not playing after

271
00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:57,879
red shirting the previous season, so he'd already red shirted

272
00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:00,039
and now they were kind of saying that he he

273
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,360
was claiming to development needs and our team's competitive circumstances,

274
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,120
so he was there claiming, hey, Trinidad, you didn't want

275
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,759
to play because Triniday, you know, fair Estate wasn't really

276
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,639
a great place to play that right now. So now

277
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:17,519
he's coming in and saying, I want another year of eligibility.

278
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,559
He has sued the NCAA because they won't give it

279
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:23,639
to him, and he is he is also he wants

280
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:27,279
a preliminary injunction. In a preliminary injunction, he's saying that

281
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,159
if the court does not grant a preliminary injunction, it

282
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,919
will result in irreparable harm. That's kind of this one

283
00:15:33,919 --> 00:15:37,039
of the standards for a preliminary injunction. It will result

284
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,519
in irreparable harm preventing him from you know, earning his

285
00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:45,960
nil contract. He's earning capacity anti competitiveness and you know

286
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,639
it goes against anti trust laws all of this. So

287
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,360
he has filed it. The court hasn't I guess they

288
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:57,960
haven't ruled just yet on this. Earlier this week, legal

289
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:00,919
team planned to Yeah, he's filed lawsuit and requested the

290
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,879
preliminary injunction. This is a strange one to me. He's

291
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,320
entered into an nil contract, you know, and he wants

292
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,240
to stay at Old Miss, but he's he's ranked the

293
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,159
number three quarterback in the upcoming NFL draft, So you

294
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,240
ask yourself, why wouldn't he He's kind of achieved what

295
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:20,559
he really wants to do, isn't it. He kind of

296
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,519
he's reached the heights that he wants to do. What

297
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,000
if he goes back to Ole Miss and has a

298
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,080
crappy season, What if he'll earn a he'll earn a

299
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,879
bag of cash. What if he gets hurt? What if

300
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:33,840
it's a career ending injury. You know, I don't know

301
00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:36,919
what his reasoning is. I guess he wants h he

302
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,200
wants the option of both, right, and you know, and

303
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,759
he's looking at the patron saint of eligibility, mister Diego

304
00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:47,080
Pavia and who got eligibility, but his was very nuanced,

305
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,679
you know, Uh Diego Pavia was based on you know,

306
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:55,240
him playing at a juco that wasn't under the NCAA's

307
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,960
rule at that time, where you know, uh Trinidad was

308
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,519
playing for a D one or D one two two schools.

309
00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:05,240
So you know, my guess is the court will grant

310
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,160
the preliminary in junction for now until they can really

311
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,039
look at this and decide what they want to do

312
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:15,039
with it. But again, you know, players scrambling for eligibility

313
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:17,880
because they can earn nil money. That's exactly what's going on,

314
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,480
because there weren't nil contracts. You wouldn't want to stick

315
00:17:21,519 --> 00:17:22,960
around in biology class, would you.

316
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: Well, the Miami quarterback has apparently been graduated for two

317
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:31,960
years and has it gone to class the last two years.

318
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:33,880
So I don't know how that works. I thought you

319
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,000
at least had to be enrolled in some classes.

320
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was That was shocking admddle.

321
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 4: Wasn't it like what in the world? Like you got

322
00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:46,400
least off?

323
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: Come on, man, at least take some classes. It's free,

324
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,599
go learn something.

325
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 5: Yeah.

326
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:01,319
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, Well, let's let's get into that. This news on.

327
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: I believe this is with the Los Angeles Clippers. This

328
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,960
most recent one Clippers owner Steve Baumber sued by eleven

329
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,599
Aspiration Investors over Kawhi Leonard deal. This one was controversial

330
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,599
when it dropped. It continues to be controversial.

331
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 3: Carry you on.

332
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 5: We might have we might have lost Garrett there.

333
00:18:27,759 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 3: Hey, sorry about that. Hey, my phone's being funny. Here.

334
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:36,559
There's a separate investigation here with the NBA going on

335
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,279
about Kawhi Leonard and really what it it revolves around

336
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:44,960
is whether or not the Clippers are are trying to

337
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,799
get around the salary cap, right and with some with

338
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,720
some funny accounting here. And the way that it's been

339
00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:54,440
alleged that this is happening is this company Aspiration, who

340
00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:57,839
is more or less you know, has an endorsement deal

341
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,599
with Kawhi Leonard that they go to Steve Balmer and

342
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,680
they say, hey, invest money in our company, and then

343
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,839
our company is going to use that to funnel it

344
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,319
to Kwhi Leonard in a quote unquote endorsement deal. And

345
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,519
this is how the Clippers can essentially pay kwhy Leonard

346
00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:18,000
more money outside of the salary cap. And so these

347
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,319
investors are saying, hey, this is a deal. We didn't

348
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,200
know about this, and that you know that Balmer used us,

349
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,119
you know, to invest this money with him in order

350
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,119
to get around the salary cap. And so it's kind

351
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,839
of a complicated deal really with you know, a side

352
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,359
deal here. But it's it's bringing now an NBA owner

353
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,839
into this bad look for the Clippers. I mean, it

354
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,000
already has been, like I said, there's already an NBA

355
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,359
probe going on to look into it. As teams get

356
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,680
creative on how to pay players more and more money.

357
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,000
So anyway, we'll see what happens here with this one.

358
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: Crazy times in the sports court today you're on your

359
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:04,200
Utah ESPN Radio network. Couple last things before we let

360
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,440
you go, gentlemen, there's an update. This one is one

361
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,640
that I don't like to talk about, but Riverside Church

362
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,759
settles in the midst of a trial before jury delivations

363
00:20:13,759 --> 00:20:15,839
with X player on sexual assault claims.

364
00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:20,319
Speaker 4: What's the latest. Yeah, Well, this is the case.

365
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: We've talked about. I think we've talked about it the

366
00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:25,920
last couple of weeks. But an old case right where

367
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,359
this involves some abuse that happened back in the seventies

368
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,279
and eighties involving a competition traveling basketball team which was

369
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:39,799
kind of the team back then, and there was a

370
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,960
church that was a sponsor of the team where the

371
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,200
team practiced. And so this is now a lawsuit. New

372
00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:47,240
York passed the law which opened up a window to

373
00:20:47,319 --> 00:20:49,759
allow these players who are now in their fifties and

374
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:53,039
sixties to bring these claims. And so they've sued this

375
00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:57,759
church who was a sponsor of the team, alleging that

376
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:00,559
they knew about the abuse that was taking place. So anyway,

377
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,480
long story short, the case is about to go to

378
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:07,599
the jury for deliberations and the church jumps in and

379
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,759
has settled the case with one of the players. And

380
00:21:09,839 --> 00:21:12,000
so I think they saw the writing on the wall

381
00:21:12,079 --> 00:21:13,759
that this wasn't going to go their way. There was,

382
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:18,640
you know, in fact, a eyewitness testimony that we talked

383
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,359
about earlier. And so there's a bunch of other claims

384
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,559
the church is facing, and they'll probably you know what

385
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:25,519
we suspect is go out and try to settle those

386
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:27,680
cases as well.

387
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: Typically, statute of limitations doesn't allow for things like this

388
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,759
to come to court, right, Like, why was this want

389
00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:35,400
to be different?

390
00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Well, you know, kind of in a

391
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,920
post me to movement era in New York passed the

392
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,440
law which said, hey, we're going to allow we're going

393
00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:48,599
to give a window of time for some of these

394
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,440
old sex abuse claims to be brought. So you know,

395
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,559
you've got to we're giving you kind of a new

396
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:59,200
statute of limitation. So it's it's an exception to the rule,

397
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,039
which is why we're seeing some of these old cases.

398
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 4: That's the verdict.

399
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:09,079
