Quick question for the legal eagles in the GTPR community

Posted on by

How does a state court have the ability to enforce its will outside of the state of its jurisdiction?

The first one I assume says that any dispute between Mensah and Duke University is to be litigated under the laws of North Carolina.

The 2nd one is the one I’m really interested in is the case of the former G-League basketball player at Alabama. I don’t see how a state court judge can say the NCAA’s rules don’t prohibit them from ruling he cannot play in a game in Tennessee and they can’t enforce their rules in the case. If this were a federal court, I would get it.

One more step to the destruction of college sports as we have know them.

Please help this guy who isn’t an attorney but stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

This is the only clip I can come up with that demonstrates what is happening in college sports with litigation.

You probably saw this over the weekend.

Diego Pavia has sued the NCAA under antitrust law (similar to all of the NIL lawsuits) to get additional college eligibility to make up for his 2 JUCO years. This has nothing to do with playing the sport or academic opportunity … it’s all about NIL.

Between the Mars lawsuit that removed all NCAA governance of transferring and this lawsuit that pretty much challenges the NCAA’s authority around eligibility, the stage could be set for what could be the ultimate lawsuit allowing anyone to play college football for an unlimited amount of time regardless of academic standing.

We have plenty of attorneys in our merry community of refugees. Please tell me if I’m reading this right or wrong.

More generally, what do you think about this?
