Are the attorneys working on weekends....

If we’re not careful we’re going to end up owing the attorneys $12MM.

If we had an athletic director who was more concerned about and committed to NCAA compliance, monitoring and auditing and running a tight ship rather than watching game tape with the football staff, most of these issues could have been avoided. But when you put unqualified people with no experience into critical roles, this is what happens and taxpayers are on the hook for expenses totally unrelated to the university's primary function.

The head partner is $500/hr. It's a public document.
If it helps reduce Pruitt's buyout and allows us to keep SEC bowl share revenue (if sanctions), it's worth it.
Seems like I recall Missouri was able to "claw back" some bowl revenue even with sanctions, if they kept their nose clean a couple of years. I don't recall specifics.

I do recall seeing these were attorneys that worked with Missouri, so I'm hoping for the best from them and I'm telling the grandkids to go to law school.

I'm starting to get this sneaking suspicion were going to pay out all this money and still bring back Pruitt.

Whether Pruitt is fired or not something has to give. The longer this drags on the worse it looks for Tennessee.

Who knows. But I read one atty is being paid $500 an hour while the other $300 per hr. Other parts of the legal team (paralegal, investigators) charged $300 plus per hour. So we are looking at a ridiculous amount of $$$ spent as this continues to drag.
I was hoping we would get one of those “we don’t get paid until you do” firms!

Goodness, man. You try to bring bad info when the exact info has already been published.
I know I saw the info. Call Glazier’s office, if you were to hire him on a different case you are easily paying >$1000 per hour. Potentially took our case at a discount due to the publicity.

Where I used to work we had a corporate attorney who had been an associate at one of the big Chicago law firms. He told me once the most billable hours he ever got in one day was 26. They could only bill in 15 minute increments so reading an email that took 5 minutes cost the client 15 minutes
makes sense. i'm on VN 26 hours a day

I’ve got some time available if they want to pay me 500 an hour.
Just wanting to clarify that lawyers don’t make what they bill an hour. Providing legal services is expensive. Lots of overhead.

Also, I have to say that I’m surprised at the attorneys’ rates considering they are out of New York and are considered high profile. You could easily pay $500 and $300 for an AM200 partner and associate out of Nashville.
