So if I join a business organization...and they convert my funds and steal my money...I have no civil recourse against them for damages because I agreed to join?

If you pay dues at a Fraternity in your college and they haze you and you fall off the roof and break your neck, your family has no recourse against the chapter for wrongful death because their son paid dues?

Just because you agree to jump out of an airplane and sign "I assume the risk and understand skydiving is dangerous" doesn't mean the skydiving company isn't liable for negligence if there is no parachute in the backpack when you pull the ripcord at 15,000 feet.

Here's a link to yesterday's Dennis Dodd article on the subject.

Here's part of the article.

quote:
Largely on the basis of that call and Lake's testimony, McNair was found to guilty of unethical conduct by the NCAA. Shaller's decision says McNair's attorneys had proven the NCAA infractions report on USC "contained material false statements regarding" the phone call.

An email from infractions committee member, Eleanor Myers, admits to a "botched" interview with McNair according to Shaller's decision.

On the basis of those issues Shaller said last week he would unseal the entire McNair inquiry waiting 30 days to give the NCAA time to file an appeal. The public's access to the file could reveal the inner workings of one of the most contentious cases in NCAA history.
