yeah they aren't getting the paperwork.. only thing that can bring light to this is McMurphy or some reporter getting an inside source.. and at that point you really gonna trust it? Sucks for the kids and the football staffs. Again those presidents in the PAC and BIG are academics first, sports a distant second.

Well see, you could be right About the paperwork, but I want to hear the response and see what the judge does.

And no, I don't trust reporters.

Don't know where she said that, she has given Big10 till Monday afternoon to respond. Her reservations as far as I know are.....

Lancaster County judge Susan Strong, who was assigned the Nebraska-Big Ten case, gave Luger and the Big Ten a 5 p.m. deadline on Monday Aug. 31 to file a written response to the motion set by attorney Mike Flood, who is the lead attorney representing eight Nebraska football players. This came as a result of Flood's filing of an expedited discovery.

As the debate resembled the opening remarks of something that may turn out to be much bigger, Judge Strong left the hearing with only one concern.

"There's one concern that I have with the expedited discovery and that is request No. 4 may not be something that is narrowly tailored to an expedited discovery request," Judge Strong said. "Request No. 4 requests all assessments, memoranda, studies, scientific data and any medical information and advice in possession of the Big Ten at any time during the period from March 15, 2020, to the present regarding any decision to modify, cancel, or postpone the 2020 fall football season.

"Seems broad to require somebody to respond to that in an expedited fashion."

So her concern was more to the amount of documentation they were requesting given the expedited timeframe. I don't see where the judge said "8 kids demanding documents ain't gonna happen". You have a link to the article reporting this?

The 5pm in writing response is a rule. The way these lawyers are going after the BIG is weak.

Players lawyer arguing for tortious interference, BIGs interfering with player's contract with NE, in that if players can't play football, players can't comply with player's agreement with NE that players have to play football in order to get their free education.

BIGs lawyers counters with there is no standing and no contractual relationship between players and the BIG conference.

Players lawyers then say we need discovery now.

BIGs lawyers say no one gets to see the documents.

Players lawyers argue that they have to play football to comply, so they need to see the documents.

JUDGE: BIG gets to respond in writing, can't skip this rule, has until monday at 5pm to do so.

At the end of the day; NE hasn't cancelled anyone's scholarships. So how can the players claim tortious interference as the reason they need to see the BIGs medical documents and minutes of the discussion before the vote?

Maybe I'm wrong and this will cause the BIG to fold and be transparent, but that zoom video doesn't give off optimism for any of that to come out.
 
I know some Hoopla people are on this.. Please come out lol

Most, if not all, schools are breaking from Thanksgiving till January.

It's much easier to "bubble" when the campus is empty. I'm assuming that's their rationale to being open to this idea.

That’s actually a very good explanation. Haven’t thought of it like that. Thanks

I don't think I heard anyone talking about that.

But before this announcement, I think they were talking about basketball players playing a bunch of games during this time, for this reason.

It makes a ton of sense in that no one will be around So that bubble can Be a bit bigger geographically on campus I would think. It’s an interesting idea. I wonder how it would be affected when students return for the spring semester?
