Arthur Brown to sue CDD/called in to Sports Animal today

I think it is a little more than that... Arthur is a special case that should be made a public fool of. If he had just left BB alone and let him stay at UT then he wouldn't have to be worrying about this.

Who do you think can afford better lawyers? A University or a father that couldn't even pay for his own kids recruitment?


HMMMMM...:question:

Any lawyer that would touch this is a legal buffoon. I'd love to see Dooley or University(whoever gets named in the lawsuit) turn around and file a countersuit against them for filing a frivolous lawsuit. Arthur Brown has ruined the football future for both of his sons. I suspect that vindictive mentality played a large role in Arthur Jr.'s lack of success at Miami. Nothing for Vol fans to worry about here though....just sad to see that much talent wasted by the stupidity and selfishness of a father.

Why did Kiffin let all those linemen go to get Bryce Brown? Damn Hambone and his Experiment.

Best rated player in the country gets that. If you told me there would be a problem with someone close to Bryce, though, it would have been Butler, not his dad.

Hmmm, anyone really think that this is about anything other than Papa Bryce wanting a bigger house to live in??

If that's the case, why doesn't he leave his sons alone and let them play football where they want to, and then maybe one day they will be able to buy daddy a big house when they make it to the nfl.

I like that Dooley is making an example of Bryce. Dooley is saying that if you sign a LOI with Tennessee, you better be ready to stay and be dedicated to UT. No changing your mind after the fact.

No way does this lawsuit ever get filed. With the Brown's having to pay 2 college tuitions this year, filing a lawsuit you have no chance of winning is suicidal.

The LOI is such a cut and dry contract, if the NCAA backs Tennessee, any lawsuit will be frivolous and UT could easily countersue for legal costs. I'm sure Arthur is blowing smoke.

I love Dooley for this. He has principles. If you commit to something, you better have a really good reason for wanting out. BB didn't even have the maturity to sit down with CDD and talk like men. All this mess could have been avoided if BB wasn't such a petulant little child.

Dooley is saying this, "You don't get to act like a bratty little child and expect to be treated like a man."

Done and done.

What basis could he have for a lawsuit? Once he signs his LOI releasing an athlete is pretty much at the school's discretion. Any lawyers in the house with the ability to clarify?

If anybody has breached their agreement (i.e., LOI), it is Bryce. Bring it on dumbarses.

The other really funny thing about the entire sage that is the Brown family is that they cannot see the forest for the trees. Do they think they are helping the Brown brothers' stock with NFL teams? Only Al Davis will be willing to sign up for this soap opera.

That answer doesn't cut it; has never cut it. Best rated player in the country who would still deserve pine duty on this team behind Poole, and it was common knowledge last year.

We really look desperate for running backs. Meanwhile, what would Donald Langley mean to this team right now? Or a few of those linemen he let scoot while worrying about BB?

Too bad Monte Kiffin didn't take this stance thirty-some years ago....

Maybe Derrick can counter-sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress or lack of support.

I suppose one (Arther) can sue somebody for not letting he/she (Arther) violate the terms of a contract. Sounds legit to me.

Dropping 2 linemen to get the #1 RB and the #1 APB is smart. You're wrong. The fact that he's gone now doesn't affect the decision. It was the right decision at the time, and we got great players.

Pappa Brown doesn't have standing to file a meritorious suit since he was not a party to the contract (letter of intent) and Bryce was of a legal age to enter into a contract. If Pappa Brown does file suit it will be dismissed early in the legal process unless he can prove he has standing. The court prob won't even get to the issue of whether there was some sort of breach of contract.

Bryce may however have a cause of action depending on the release clause of the contract.

Not even close to being smart; not even close to being right. Team needs first, always!

It was the wrong decision at the time; it is fast becoming one of the worst decisions in Vol football history.

Next to the Hambone Experiment itself, of course.

You can always try to get out of a contract, but that doesn't mean you have a case. My guess would that he is arguing that Bryce has good reason not to fulfill the contract. Another wrinkle is this: I read that letters of intent only bind a student athlete for his or her first year of college. The scholarship is "subject to renewal" each year after that. If that is indeed the case, he might have a decent argument.

I'd be surprised if the suit actually goes forward. UT's lawyers > BB and AB's lawyer

This. Exactly. For anyone who does not understand why a release was not granted (ESPN, Finebaum, etc.) this is why. Dooley is not above releasing players (Douglas, Stephens). Brown had a choice on how he approached this issue, and he picked the absolute worst one-never gave TN a chance after Kiffin left, and never even spoke to Dooley. Why do those actions grant you a release from an Insitution that just paid for one year's worth of your education, room and board, etc.?

On one hand I do feel sorry for both the Brown boys. By all accounts Bryce wanted to stay and his father pushed him to come home for his own benefit. What a sad tale of a father smothering his kids and their futures (up to now, anyways)...Bryce should still be a man and make his own decisions, but you never know what is going on inside this situation.

Someone close to Authur needs to lean in close and whisper to him, "Art, JUST STOP".
