yes, I am. The Shelby County judges are idiots in my experience, but the COA judges in Tennessee aren't.

True. What's funny is I have trashed aspects of how the Tuohys have been portrayed and the Blindside movie plenty of times over the years on here, but I also know several people who have intimate knowledge of them and the situation. This whole thing wreaks of a shakedown for a cash grab. The timing of this with the release of his book isn't a coincidence.
People also tend to hate when the law doesn't necessarily provide for recovery when they think it should. I haven't even commented on the merits of whether they did what he says they did, only whether he has standing to recover in this type of lawsuit.

I agree. I told my wife this and she thinks I am just siding with the family because I don't want to think negatively of them. This doesn't change the fact that I think the whole thing was shady from the get go, with them being boosters and Hugh Freeze just happened to be his high school coach ad then his college coach.
Was he taken advantage of? Only in the sense that this family wanted him to attend their school -- circumventing NCAA rules, but that's common at Ole Miss.
Would he have been successful had they not intervened? Tough to tell, but probably not.
Still shady though.
