Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 3407759, member: 966"] It’s an interesting argument between the attorneys. I have a bad feeling an appeal will go Zion’s way. Ford’s attorney seems to rely on characterizing Zion as having been “ineligible” to compete in the NCAA. But he was never designated ineligible. Can you say he was ineligible in retrospect? If the allegations are true, he [I]should[/I] have been ineligible, but [I]Should[/I] and [I]What Was[/I] are two different things. Also, if he had been ineligible, he wouldn’t have signed the same contract with Ford, if he even would have signed with ford at all. The other thing is, if Zion is able to be retroactively deemed ineligible based on having accepted benefits, then isn’t the whole of the NCAA—all of its results—invalid, since it can reasonably be presumed that many more players received benefits?
