So I guess that Leon Cosgrove name partner should be disciplined for suing his school. That rat! He violated the disciplinary rule against being a rat! Call the disciplinary counsel! Turn him in! Disloyal punk! Did it all for money! Oh, wait...he's lawyer.

I'll save up my dumps 'til I'm blue in the face... That's it...what I eat in Memphis I'll dump in Jonesboro! #EatInMemphisButDumpInJonesboro

That scoundrel happened to be a former U of Arkansas law professor who might have taught some of the Arkansas State staff counsel and former head legal officer for the State of Arkansas. So if we hear some strange legal arguments regarding meaning of words.....

There doesn't seem to be anything different from regular principles of contract law involved here. He doesn't have to be a specialist in college football contracts. I think the most problematic issue might be whether we have to perform at a later date or whether we're excused. They don't want to...

I'm sure they will be far more careful in the contracts they sign in the future. They probably never expected this.

Well, Miami agreed to the contract. I guess Miami has some hillbillies in the Athletic Dept. and/or it's GC's office. If it now comes back to bite us they might be just as much at fault. I have a feeling nobody really contemplated that the clause would ever have to be invoked or that it would...

Please stop bragging about not being a lawyer...

Maybe they were taught by Bill Clinton if they went to Arkansas law school when he taught there... "Depends on what the meaning of is is"

Depends...will he bring Marisa Tomei in as an expert witness?

Of course...but has UM answered yet? Or, do they file the notice of removal before they answer?

I agree but saying, as they did in their letter, that it was not force majeure because the hurricane was not in Arkansas, borders on the outrageous. The fact our players could not leave their homes because of the emergency is just ridiculous. I would hope it offends even the Arkansas judge...

I agree. It is not an exclusive list. I see little problem for us legally on the cancellation issue. I don't care what other schools did. They might have been reckless. Our school was dismissed and our players released for humanitarian reasons to attend to family responsibilities. I see perhaps...

I have a feeling these contracts receive most of the attention by athletic department staff, not the GC's staff. It probably received fairly little review. Nobody contemplated the kind of scenario that was actually played out. They gave it relatively limited thought

I don't think the failure to identify a hurricane will significantly impair our defense on whether we were justified in cancelling.

This case was filed in state court. It won't be on Pacer. I doubt that UM has even answered yet. Suit was just filed less than a week ago. So, UM might not have made an appearance yet.

Don't be so sure.

It does look kind of weak. Don't know why they eliminated provision on governing law. I guess we were just being nice guys and we never expected this to end up in litigation. Maybe we'll do better in the future.

We should do it in a cage...no rules, no refs. A fight to death.

We win on force majeure-- our cancellation was justified. Bigger issue is whether we were justified in not offering make-up game earlier than 2024. Look at that language. We could face a problem. Removal to federal district court will not necessarily solve home court advantage. Might still end...
