    Yep, the are playing the shell game to its fullest. The big schools are guilty of creating this mess. Now they are just further raping their own boosters.

    From CBS Sports report on this topic. Dayum!
    Winner: Billable hours
    As the saying goes, billable hours are undefeated. That's certainly true with the House settlement. The class action counsel, led by Jeffrey Kessler and Steve Berman, are expected to receive a whopping $484 million for their work in bringing the class-action lawsuit to completion. Considerable money has been spent by the NCAA and House defendants on attorneys, too. And, of course, there will likely be more lawsuits to come -- especially from a Title IX angle -- once the schools begin officially paying athletes. There's never been a better time to be a lawyer with an interest in college sports.

    I've been stolen from! I bought a ticket and merchandise in order to support amateurs in sports who don't have the means to support themselves while honing their craft. It is now determined that it was all a sham and that they were professionals being paid all along. FRAUDULANCE!!!

    I think I will start an amateur sports fan's class action lawsuit. I want my money back!


    Cha CHING for ME!!!

    I don’t believe that will happen. However, Harvard is talking smack about winning the national championship in football. Lol.
