Message: [QUOTE="MemphisBlues, post: 3324273, member: 2541"] Fishman, one of Wiseman attorneys, was just on the radio. He wanted to keep it in generalities, not reveal too much, but did say a few interesting things. The host asked him how they would respond if the NCAA files to remove the case to Federal Court. He said they would respond ------ and then continued that there's no federal question here only state issues and state law, no money being asked for, and there's not complete and utter diversity. Elements that need to be shown to remove a case to Federal Court. You got to figure that will be their position, at least in part, with this issue ---- ie once NCAA very likely tries to remove it to Federal Court. Later he made another interesting point ---- under the NCAA scenario you have an *innocent party* subjected to punishments and *unclear punishments.* The NCAA has no punishment framework they work within. First the NCAA makes a finding and then only later does one learn the punishment. They seem to be just talkin at that point --- but there is a claim of "arbitrary and capricious" action / punishments on behalf of the NCAA in their Wiseman complaint. Makes me also think they may show how similarly-situated institutions and players are treated differently. Just a guess. [/QUOTE]
