I’d make fun of Berzerkley, but after every thin skinned ivy got upset at me the other day for the audacity of poking fun at their athletic programs, I guess I’ll stay out of this one.

“charge hourly and take a certain percentage of the ultimate award” Seriously? Talk about walking an ethical fine line.

six figures would seem like a bargain to my clients. She is wealthy, there is no reason to go on contingency.

I was going to say this exact thing.

fair enough, HIPAA just always comes to mind in business settings.

On the one hand, these parents are terrible terrible people.

On the other hand, I really wish Maple Syrup was a cure all. Then my syrup drenching could be considered medicinal rather than diabetes taunting.

I could call up Jezebel and make the same claim and I’ve never been to New Haven.

so why do we believe that the source is actually close to the team or has any first hand knowledge?

They have storied histories but are not current powerhouses in football and have not been for decades. but really, the joke is beside the main point, which I appreciate you…

so no need to be responsible, just report as fact?

My D-III undergrad with 1000 students had a baseball player go on to be World Series MVP. That doesn’t really mean anything though.

Which thing am I flat out wrong about? Their NCAA tournament record? Their last National Championship? I believe those were the primary facts I attested to. Look it started out tongue in cheek (though it does stretch credulity a bit that they would cover up for an athlete given their lack of powerhouse status) but to…

You posted a quote that included a link to the PDF Yale report, correct? The first portion titled “Introduction” goes from page 2 to the secodn paragraph of page 3. That Introductory letter is signed and dated. To wit:
