Obviously they must have stated a case because the judge asked for a response from the defendant on expediting discovery.
Husker players file lawsuit
- Thread starter Crazyhole
- Start date
I hope all the players in the conference unleash lawfare on the B1G. Multiple lawsuits. May not win em, but make it painful. Make em pay for the lack or transparency, poor decision-making process, and destruction of livelihoods. If they don’t feel the pain, they won’t learn...as they have refused thus far to publicly admit mistakes. If the lawsuit is only NU-related, it will be easier to dismiss in the eyes of the powerful.
Not all players in the B1G would be considered eligible to sue on the basis that you can't call what they put on the field "playing football" therefore this could be tied up in court for Years... And can you imagine the pain involved in viewing the replays of the games to figure out who is a "player" and is is not. I feel sorry for the jury.

A responsive filing is req'd (to avoid a default ruling) whenever a pleading or motion is filed, but there's no "likelihood of success" test in order to file a pleading or motion in the first place.
In other words, a party can file an action/motion and trigger responsive filings as a matter of course. In general.
"Stating a case" is a term of art. One can file a claim for something, but whether that claim can properly be brought depends on myriad things: standing, legal recognition of the nature of the claim, source of the perceived damages, etc., etc.
btw, I was only kidding about it being "several years" since I was wrong about something. More like "several minutes".
As I said, maybe I'm wrong about this, and the BIG will get rolled, the season fires up a couple weeks late, no one gets ill, and we're totin' trophies in a month or two.

JMO, but it sure seems like the plaintiffs complaint meets the standards of a lawsuit like this. They probably walked the fence a little bit with damages but since NIL is now a thing, to me it leans towards the plaintiff. They obviously have standing because their lives are affected by this and potentially their well being. The "breach of contract" aspect of this is interesting to me because it seems like that should be more on the shoulders of the university than the conference. Probably should have named the University as a co-defendant.
OK. Those weren't quite my pts., but it may be more than what we all wanna get into on a msg bd.
in any event, as I said, I may be wrong. That'd be OK, too.

Cool down starts today! Yeah! My tomatoes are looking a little peaked.Well it looks like it is going to cool off on Sunday and Monday. We might get some rain. That should help. I am sure the farmers would appreciate that. I do think that the dryland crops are starting to burn bad here in south central Nebraska. We are almost to Labor Day so we should start to see a cool down.

Yup, I had to sell plasma twice a week to put gas in my car and buy groceries. How times have changed.
What lawsuit? For being kicked out of the B1G for filing a frivolous lawsuit? For making UNL look like whiney little (well, you get my drift)?
If the big10 kicked nebraska out because of a lawsuit brought about by non university representatives, yeah we could sue the pants off of the conference. Kicking a team out of a conference is basically unprecedented and the idea that one would do so because individuals filed a suit that is only asking for production of documents would be ridiculous.
That's my guess as well.
It irritates the snot out of me because it makes UNL look whiney as hell. Not a good fit, IMO.
tOSU could get by with it with their recent record. We don't have the panache, as our record shows, to be doing this crap.
