Points-shaving case against Toledo player on hold

[Redwingtom]

James Burdick, McDougle's Detroit-area attorney, said he was pleased with the news but unsure what it means.

Confidence inspiring.... UT Law grad??

Not sure I would say that. Many BG grads go to UT for law school.

Toledo does have a very good law school. This past year UT had the highest percentage of graduates pass the Ohio bar exam on the first try of all Ohio universities. Also, the Princeton Journal ranked Toledo's law school the 20th best in the country. Our law school is comparable to the kind of reputation BG's education program has.

Serious question. How many schools in Ohio have law programs?

I'm sure this case now has the tacit attention of the NFL, which will be interested in knowing if any current and past UT players in the league knew/know this guy.

As for UT's law school, to be fair and honest, yes, they are improving the passage rate for the bar, they are better than the university as a whole. But it still draws snickers from my lawyer freind (who went to Dennison and UVa's Law school, and now works for Jones Day.) and her husband who Southern Miss/Pitt grad and lawyer.

That's OK. WE snicker at anybody who went to UVA. I mean what would MACMAN have to say about that Cavalier fellow? Unfortunately I think that Top Twenty thing was our engineering school, not our law school. Our law school is only the best in the state and our Medical School not even that. Engineering is really good though. And incidentally I am somewhat conversant with Billy Shakespeare and my old pal Siggy F. for the poster who impied UT grads didn't know those guys.

I'll say this for what it is worth. If you work hard, you can get a fine education from most anyplace. And in reality I like making fun of UT more than taking its reputation seriously. Now if you are a slacker and get a degree from UT.......

Engineering? Law? Pharmacy?

Seriously, is there anything UT is good at that isn't nerdy?

Unless your major is "pornstar" , "MtV host" or "Future Professional Athlete", don't most majors sound kind of nerdy?

Except English...you have to be a fricking STUD to major in English

all 8 years.

For what it's worth, my sister graduated from UT's law school about 7 or 8 years ago and now she is one of the top contractual lawyers at the world headquarters for Sun Oil making a disgusting amount of money. It's actually pretty sickening to be honest.

Yeah, they didn't exactly redefiine "cool" did they? Martha Quinn was cute though.

At least Mojo Nixon thought so....

[TG1996]

Martha Quinn was cute though.

And if you listen to her on Sirius, she'll remind you of it, too.

Unfortunately for Martha, the years haven't been too kind:
