C N Red: “With all the ridiculous lawsuits these days I am thinking of filing one against the B1G for mental distress, loss of revenue, medical fees associated with depression, along with many others. Why not?”
.
Yes, but... no one is “required” to be a Big 10 fan. The Big 10 is not “required” to even play football or any other particular sport. It is an “Educational” association, right? These are STUDENT athletes, right?
.
Yes, there are legal contracts around much of this stuff having to do with media and stadiums and stuff like that. But when you strip all that away this sporting stuff is all voluntary and “Non-essential”. Given that, it’s a tough road to establish one’s self to be an injured party and demand justice and restitution in return.
.
Countless small businesses around the nation are suffering financially and millions have been thrown out of work. Who do they sue? The virus? The Governors? The Fates?
.
But there ARE other grounds for a lawsuit by the Huskers against the Big 10. Just being in a conference where you are regarded as not One Of Us Old Big 10 Legacy Boys is mental distress enough to be an aggrieved party. Does anyone believe that THE Ohio State and THE Michigans and THE Pennsylvania State really consider the Huskers to be their equal? Didn’t the Huskers already leave one conference because they ran into that same stuck-up attitude? If you want anguish, there it is.
.
But... if there are any Law Majors on the Huskers this law suit thing is a great idea because these guys now have time on their hands until Spring and are looking for something to do.
