Chaz Ramsey, who recently appeared on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel describing how he received money while a football player at Auburn, will meet with NCAA officials to discuss the matter.

It was back to the mediation table in Minneapolis for the NFL and NFLPA. Present for the union (or do you say trade association?) were DeMaurice Smith, as well as players Ben Leber, Mike Vrabel and former player Carl Eller who is also a plaintiff in a suit representing retired players. Commissioner Roger Goodell was joined by several owners including Robert Kraft and Jerry Richardson. Not much news came out of the meeting other than it lasting for nine hours.
