Mike Leach's motion to speed up taking of depositions denied; Tennessee's Athletic Director; NFL players go to Congress; How salary arbitration works
January 21, 2010
Have you ever gone to a college football game and been there 2 1/2 hours before kick-off? Well if you have, you may have noticed a police escort of two or more motorcycles and a police car with sirens blaring followed by three buses of the team' players and the head coach. They get special treatment, in that all traffic is forced to stop so the buses can be escorted to the stadium.
Well, today in court former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach was told that he could proceed with his case , but he will not get the legal equivalent of the police escort to speed up his case. Leach will have to be happy with the usual slow process of legal proceedings. Judge William Sowder said there will be no special treatment for the coach in his court room.
The judge also ruled that the state's motion to dismiss the case on the grounds of sovereign immunity would be taken up at a later date.

But the full committee’s ranking Republican, Lamar Smith of Texas, called the NFL and the players union “literally and figuratively big boys. They do not need Congress’ help to referee every business dispute. That is what the courts and the labor negotiation process are for."
Maury Brown relates whence salary arbitration came from and how it works:
