Judge Doty comes through for NFLPA
Judge Doty comes through for NFLPA
Judge David Doty may be the best friend the NFLPA has these days. Judge Doty on Tuesday ruled that the NFL's negotiated television contract extensions amounted to nothing more than lockout insurance. Judge Doty's ruling overturns Special Master Stephen Burbanks' ruling that sided with the NFL.
Here is what the NFLPA had to say about Judge Doty's ruling:
This ruling means there is irrefutable evidence that owners had a premeditated plan to lockout players and fans for more than two years. The players want to play football. That is the only goal we are focused on.

Oversigning popular in SEC
Oversigning popular in SEC
The oversigning of incoming college football players, particularly in the SEC has come under much criticism as of late. Oversigning is offering more scholarships than are available on a team. The trouble is, you then have to tell some players that there isn't a spot on the roster for them after they have signed to go to that school.
Now, several SEC football coaches are defending this action. South Carolina football coach Steve Spurrier, even goes as far as criticizing the Big Ten for not doing it, and then having to offer scholarships to walk-ons.
