Pac12 vs MWC Sept (Lawsuit Update)

[ragtimejoe1]

I have firsthand experience dealing with federal courts, although not in a sports capacity. The first and most important lesson I learned the process is lengthy and guessing the outcome is unwise. I have two cases awaiting to be heard for the past three years. Due to my age, I have accepted that I may not be alive to see the result. I'm hopeful my wife is still around to collect any benefits from my cases. And yes, Discovery is a bitch - one case was slightly more than 18 months in Discovery, and then the judge ruled against me on all points except one. Now the appeal is in the system, who knows when it will be heard. My attorney told me that courts are backlogged until November 2026.
It will be interesting to see how quickly the MC/Pac case is decided. I'm not hopeful it will be soon.

The play here for the pac and defectors is to draw this out as long as possible so the MWC can't make payments to UNLV and AF next July. Basically hoping to make the MWC fall apart so there is nobody left to owe the money to. If AF and UNLV aren't paid by July 1, I think the gor is null and void.

Sorry to hear Steamboat. While I may not have any court cases and hope I never do, due to my age I am becoming so much more complacent as an adamant Cowboys fan on the hopes I will live long enough to see the team have any 60’s or 80’/90’s success.

I reluctantly accept getting to 6 wins is considered a sign of success. Would love to finish the season as the conference champion one more time and that seems so unattainable I continue to lose interest.

I agree

Not exactly sure what you are talking about. Discovery officially started yesterday and thus there has been no discovery to-date.

The only pleadings in the case, being the complaint filed quite a while ago and the answer/counterclaims filed yesterday, contain paragraphs of merely unproven allegations. A party is required to make allegations in their pleadings to support the claims they make and the relief they seek. The allegations are then supported or not-supported by the evidence which comes through discovery (likely a 1-2 year process).

Aren’t depositions considered evidence, and as good as testimony, and under oath? If so, the maggies VPAD admission seems pretty compelling that “dirty deeds” were going on. Further admissions from others seems it went back to 2023 and intentional to inflict pain on the MW. Seems pretty evident to me.
