When I first reported on Andy Oliver back on June 2, 2008, no one had heard of him. Since then, he has made national headlines in every major paper for his lawsuit against the NCAA, which eventually was settled for$750,000. The antiquated NCAA Bylaw 12.3.2.1 was voided, only to be re-established by the settlement. It […]
The deadline to file for free agency in the MLB was November 19. At that point, 171 players had filed.
