[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 720934, member: 2426"] The North Carolina law defines a student athlete as: That is a much higher bar than what the plaintiff's lawyer is arguing. The law actually reads such that if an athlete is ineligible for some period of time, that he is still a student-athlete if he [I]might [/I]be eligible in the future. I can see Williamson's lawyers arguing that even if Williamson received some kind of benefits that he wouldn't have been declared permanently ineligible, and so the questions are irrelevant to the case. I can also see him being forced to answer the questions in discovery, because as I understand it parties are given pretty wide latitude to "discover" things in discovery. I still think that this is just an attempt to harass Williamson into a bigger settlement. I don't believe the plaintiff has any intention of going to a trial. [/QUOTE]
