I find it interesting that this suit was settled not long after UNO decided they no longer wanted to stay in Division I. I am not a lawyer but that would certainly tell me about their commitment to their program if I was on a jury.

Three loaves, Texas Toast specifically, 12 gallons of sweet tea, and a roll of Skoal Wintergreen.

Skoal is for wimps, Buzz is a Copenhagen man.

Exactly my thoughts.

Buzz:

QuoteWilliams said in his suit against the school that he "quickly learned that UNO was either unwilling or unable to provide even the basic necessities for a competitive men's collegiate basketball program."

Judge to UNO: Can you tell me why this claim has no merit?

UNO:

QuoteThe combination of budget cuts, the failure to pass an increase in student fees and a lack of fundraising efforts has prompted UNO to look into moving its athletic program from Division I down to Division III status.

That would mean UNO would not offer athletic scholarships and would completely alter the state of the program.

Sounds like a settlement was the best option.

I think Buzz said last year he was a snuff man, not a chaw man.

Perfect timing for a press release regarding a settlement - a Friday before a Holiday week. This issue will be long forgotten by December.
