No, and I get that you are not saying what is in quotes Tom but the questions Ford is asking Zion to testify in court on record is germain to the case, it is actually the linch pin of this case. Because if Zion was part of or himself demanded certain things like money and/or housing for the family, he is by definition not an ameture at the time and the clause in question does not apply. That ruled by a judge costs Zion $100 Million, he has a lot of money now days but gurantee ya he does not have $100 million in the bank today.
Lawyers, Ford, promise you this, do not ask questions like these with out having a hold card of proof. Lawyers, they don't ask questions they do not already have the answer to. But the important part is that these lawyers are not asking these questions without having rock solid proof. Zion, if there was no solid proof could lie even under oath, who could prove different. But when the proof is in hand by the folks demanding you testify under oath exists, telling a lie under oath is not an option, not just because you could go to jail but because you go to jail and lose your case! Only thing worse than losing a $100 million dollar law suite is losing it and going to jail! LOL
Jeff Capel, good time now to get worried because the end game in all of this has K throwing YOU under the bus and claiming he knew nothing and you ran this game. Yeah, how is that brotherhood nonsense working out for you NOW?
If push comes to shove, this is exactly what will happen. The LOM would throw his momma under the bus to protect his empire.
So the question is, will Zion protect himself by telling the truth or will he shoot himself in the foot and lie for K? Speaking of throwing one under the bus, I think Zion’s bus is actually larger than K’s. He was there for less than a year so I wonder how much he wants to protect the coach. He gets his money regardless and any payout is minimal compared to his future earnings. So it all comes down to will Zion have the intelligence to protect himself and tell the truth. He could actually come out of this as a hero by spilling the beans on the recruiting of college basketball players.
I heard some lawyer dude on a podcast today say that he doesnt think anything will become of this. I can't find the stupid link now.
There will be a settlement and all will sign NDA's. The only way this blows up is if Zion denies and Ford has some actual physical evidence Williamson is not aware exists. When he settles this will be forgotten in two years and even 25 million over time is nothing compared to his earning potential right now.
David,
So, Ms. Ford is hoping this phrase holds up because if Zion was part of or himself demanded certain things like money and/or housing for the family, he is by definition not an amateur and oh, by the way Ms. Ford you were not legally elible to represent athletes in NC.
So the federal case takes presidence.
Okay, we'll over look the NCAA investigating/not investigating dook.
Canard? Red Herring?
Really Mr. Klein? You must be hoping you can work this side of the case to your client's benefit. Good Luck.

Tom my friend, This whole thing depends on the single question of was Zion an amatrure or not, If he was then yeah, Ms Ford's case is toast by the fact she was not registered in NC as an agent as well as missing the required verbage in the contract. But if he was not an amatrure at the time he entered that contract, if he had in fact been paid to play, clearly the verbage in the contract no longer applies. I do not believe that it matters where a non-amature (professional) athelete lives, I believe that applies only for amature atheletes that are becoming professionals but even if that is not the case, it could as well depend on exactly where Zion signed the contract. If Zion went to Florida to ink the deal then the rules of Florida would apply I believe.
But Tom, you bring up a heck of a point, kudoes!
I agree, carolinablue. The few that have posted believe K wouldn’t dare do such a thing and everyone else is just haters.
MIAMI -- A Florida appeals court has temporarily granted NBA rookie Zion Williamson's attempt to block his former marketing agent's effort to have the ex-Duke star answer questions about whether he received improper benefits before playing for the Blue Devils.
The order Thursday granted Williamson a stay and paused proceedings in the lawsuit from Prime Sports Marketing and company president Gina Ford, whose attorneys must respond within 10 days.
It appears this case is going to have lots of twists as if proceeds.

The NCAA is so mad at dook Oklahoma St just got a post season ban.
You can always find a judge that on appeal will grant a stay, al that is would be a judge saying, OK, I will give you some more time to handle this.
But if what I think is happening, knowing Lawyers and how they do things, Ms Ford's attorneys have proof, they can not be dumb enough to ask a question they do not already have not just the answer to but rock solid proof of it. What Ford's attorneys are asking are not probing questions, they are entrapment questions and Zion's side know this full well, exactly why they are fighting this tooth and nail.
Lots of good information and screenshots of the court filing here:

So the paint them in corner gimmick...
Sometimes you have a case and sometimes the buffalo them with bs is offered...trying to grab some settlement value, hate those b'tards.
Dang, just fess up and get on with making $ Zion.

ESPN immediately puts out statement (written by JB) that in fact, pay to play is good for college hoops and Coach K is a trendsetter ahead of the curve. NCAA also announced UNC A&T will be out on 3 year suspension for Class 1 Violations

Ford claims testimony from Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski is warranted after he said providing a job to a player's family member "is just a business decision" on the record.
Gracious.
Gracious.
“Everyone does it..hell even we’ve been doing it for years” hahaha pathetic
I don’t get how all this smoke is there and the NCAA does nothing?
but they open an investigation at unc bc Marin Austin is popping bottles???
Fingers crossed this doesn’t all end with a settlement, but I’m sure not holding my breath.

PJ Hairston drives a rental car and is suspended for a year. All of the high end recruits the last 5+ years at Dook have been paid.
If anyone has the time, Titus and Tate had the guy from the Athletic on their podcast today and he's the guy who tweeted all the stuff from above.
It's really great insight into this whole case and unfortunately why it's extremely unlikely we ever get to see Zion or anyone from Duke testify about paying players.

The "Man from Nantucket" has to be one of the 5 most admired poems of all time.
Are they alleging that Zion took money? If his dad took money, I don't care. I guarantee that my dad would have accepted money from anyone willing to give. He would have taken money from every College and not cared where I decided to go
I may feel dumber for asking this when I see the answer, but what is this reference?
Not sure what he drove, but...
he had two balls made out of brass
In stormy weather
They bang together
And lightning shoots out of his ass!
