Not a chance, Zion has too much money at stake to weasel his way out of this. He's not going to give a damn about what happens to Duke at this point because his refusal to testify is going to cost him millions of dollars because unlike a criminal case, refusal to testify or plead the 5th in a civil case can be used against a person.

Already read just now where his attorneys said they WILL APEAL -EXACTLY WHAT I SAID and they feel they have a really good chance of this being overturned and referred to a case of some Soccer player , I knew it that's Zion & Duke

Zion's Attorney's looking to have this overturned citing an earlier case out of North Carolina with the same parties &claims has precedence.

A tweet from Daniel Wallach who is a legal Analyst with the Athletic said : He believes todays court ruling has a high likelihood of being reversed by Florida's Third District Court of Appeals.

the reason being that the Judge really has no discretion to deny an outright stay, based on 3rd DCA precedent from a case involving former NHL player Sergei Federou.

Zion's Attorney's are asking the Judge from THAT case to void I guess Zion's marketing agreement with Ford & Prim Sports Marketing claiming it wasn't a valid contract because Ford wasn't a registered agent in the State of North Carolina & the Contract didn't include a warning that is required by a State law designed to protect Amateur Athletes from Unscrupulous agents.

This guy is gonna walk Scott Free - - Nike Scott free - - & rat face -- scott free - - why? - -Because it's Nike & Duke. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Yep, nothing to see here. Increasing rent by $4000/month and somehow getting 3 new luxury cars is absolutely on the up and up. Nothing shady here. Clean as a whistle. ?s=21

Will the Williamson peeps claim they were renting based on his future earnings?

Jun 10, 2020 11:15 PM #11

@wissox I think it would still be a violation. I saw this posted on a different site:

"It’s literally why Chase Young has to sit out games for OSU last year.

It’s common knowledge, it’s bylaw 13.2.1.1 for recruits and bylaw 16.11.2 for student athletes

Specifically prohibited financial aid, benefits, and arrangements include but are not limited to the following: ... (d) Providing loans to a prospective student athletes family members or friends

An institutional employee or representative of the institutions athletic interests may not provide a student athlete with extra benefits or services including but not limited to: ... (a) a loan of money

It’s page 118 and page 246 of the ncaa bylaw document if you want to read for yourself"

@KirkIsMyHinrich Thanks. I'll leave the bylaw reading to you!

Yeah, forgot about that one! Actually did well to forget it as I tried to forget it!

the Agent saying that Zion had expensive new cars and luxury House while Zion was at Duke

Jun 12, 2020 03:55 PM #16

I wonder if Duke is paying for that appeal coming?

I wonder if Duke is watching with more than just some interest our case?

Nike made it all go away..

sighs

When they do make the K 30 for 30, how is anyone going to take it seriously?

Jun 17, 2020 09:00 PM #20

@BeddieKU23 bummer!

Jun 17, 2020 09:54 PM #21

Looks like an open and shut legal case. Things may still move forward in NC. ?s=21
