If she asked for more than $75,000, the case would be subject to be removed to Federal Court, where a federal judge would be about ten times more likely to dismiss her case as a state court judge would be.

This whole thing has been so painful.  What was, I thought, a sort of fun rivalry is really descending into pettiness.

The AD should have issued a statement clarifying what I think is pretty obvious -- he didn't intend to suggest that Dawn Staley had encouraged the fans to make racial slurs or spit on players and he of course apologizes for any insinuation that she did.  But no, everyone's dander was up so he had to be pigheaded about it.

I think USC should have left it with the SEC office.  The lawsuit is way too much.  I think it probably does more to damage Staley's reputation than the comments ever had any chance of doing.

Hopefully, the AD will take the sensible approach and issue the clarifying statement and this will be done.  If not, I'm sure there will be motions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and probably one at some point aimed at testing the sufficiency of the pleadings.  What a colossal waste of time, IMO.

That said, I'll happily watch a rematch.
