  1. Well, I think it's highly calculated. He's a good evaluator as is his staff, good developer also. But he's gonna have to start dealing with NIL and the portal and prima donna players in earnest.
  2. Cignetti looks amazingly young for his age. Hardly gray at all and no Ryan Day dye job.
  3. Cignetti's first HC job after Alabama, IUP, where his Dad coached.
  4. Truth is, he brought his program damn near intact. It may get interesting the further removed he gets from JMU.
  5. And a whole lot of those years came at JMU.
  6. Except as just noted, IU doesn't even use all their allotted practice time.
  7. Actually, Indiana bears a quite strong resemblance to James Madison.
  8. This is going from brutal anal to snuff flick.
  9. Cooper, Indiana native and recruit.
  10. Well, they made that look relatively easy.
  11. Old news. In the Eastern District, it was Marshall, Longview and Tyler. Venue reform fixed that some years ago.
  12. "I've gotten to know him over the past few months." Bitch, he wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.
  13. Yes, international law is a utopian sort of fantasy. It's valid only so long as nations obey it or at least pay it some lip service. But, as brisket points out, all law, the rule of law, is valid only so long as the participants agree to participate. A world power like the US just flaunting international law is a recipe for anarchy. Especially if we want to pretend to be a moral world leader.
  14. Yes. Liquidated damages expressly cannot be used as a penalty or punitively in most jurisdictions. They could be proper in these circumstances because a) the damages are hard to quantify in the first place and b) they could be a reasonable estimation of the damages. Penalty or punitive damages aren't usually available in breach of contract cases and are expressly excluded from "reasonable estimations" in the case of liquidated or agreed damages. I am just talking about breach of contract, though. Tortious interference can be used two ways, as an independent cause of action that might have more damages than a simple breach, or just as a way to make the interfering institution liable for the breach (so same damages, different party). Tortious interference can support punitive damages for fuckery. That's before we start creating statutory causes of action that attach extra consequences for fuckery. Note that such a statute would have to come from a legislature, most likely, rather than NCAA or CSC.
  15. For sure. Although it's not strictly legal, there is a "moral" component to contracts. Breach them regularly or flagrantly, and you're a piece of shit; not a man of your word, etc. But, these contracts are pretty interesting in that the normal standard of damages would be the cost of acquiring an equivalent player, less what you had agreed to pay the breaching player, which is going to be nigh unto impossible to prove given that the value of players is so intangible and incapable of estimation. And that might be a fact supporting specific performance (unique goods or services), meaning holding a player to their contract. A reasonable fiction might be School 1 signs a player for X, then School 2 offers X+Y and player breaches with School 1 and signs with school 2. There could be a presumption that player's value is the higher of the two, X+Y, and therefore player/School 2 owes Y to School 1.
