    Language of the statute states "reasonable notice." Obviously they failed to provide a definition for "reasonable," because that would make thing too easy. The notice required is completely situational, but I'd guess a vote in switching football conferences wouldn't be something a court would look favorably upon if little notice was given. I am guessing by the time they have a "meeting" they will have already decided what to do.

    Giddins has matured more than any player I have seen before. I remember reading articles that showed he wasn't a real high character or work ethic type of guy, but that has completely changed. It sounds like he has been working on rehab and training this year - 20lbs of good weight will make a huge difference. I haven't seen him cry about how things have gone the past couple of years, and he looks absolutely primed for a big year. He has transitioned into a team first player that will leave with a degree. i was never a fan, but he has absolutely converted me and I hope he has a great season.

    It's hard to blame an 18 year old for not understanding "commitment" when the schools making the offers oversign and give non-committable offers out. Without knowing any specifics, I don't think it would be unfair to say that schools have pulled offers from athletes before when a better prospect has landed in their lap. If the school can't give any reciprocity and only looks out for themselves why shouldn't the athlete do the same? Until NSD everything is fair game and USF will probably flip a few, just like we will lose a few.

    That's one way of looking at it. An alternative is that he thinks USF is second place out of the teams that appear to be stuck in the AAC, which isn't too shabby.

    Having gone to Manatee and USF, in my complete unbiased opinion this was a great article. Most kids are probably better off going to school near where they live to keep that support base, but that isn't always true.

    I believe we will live and die with the front 4 all season long and not just against MSU. They need to play well to protect the secondary and help force turnovers. The offense will obviously try to establish the run and rely on getting the ball to Davis in the passing game. There are too many questions at this point to think we are going to be able to hang a lot of points on anybody. That said, I can't see us getting enough pressure against the Spartans unless Lynch is a one man wrecking crew that game or Giddins play steps up immensely.

    After lurking for years I have no idea why your post compelled me to finally register and post, but they probably couldn't get certified for a class action. There isn't a practical problem in joining the three schools as plaintiffs. That said, if alumni from the schools brought the action they probably could certify as a class, but would have a weaker case. I do agree with you that there is probably some type of anti-trust violation that could be claimed in all of this, but I have no idea what it would be. When all else fails (which it has) it's time to unleash the lawyers.
