From CNN. A study of NFL veterans, but there are no obvious reasons it can’t be done on college “student-athletes”. The previous CTE tests required waiting for death and an autopsy, this is PET on live people, or, as the legal profession calls them, “plaintiffs”. Here’s hoping Randy Geller and…
UO Matters
to defend UO against the Emeldi lawsuit, and try and take it to the SCOTUS. Seems like a good idea, and it’s not Frohnmayer or Rudnick. Diane Dietz RG has the story in the RG. Bio here. 1/21/2013. In other UO legal news, Randy’s website is down. Last time this happened it…
Christian Whithol has the story in the RG: Oregon’s top higher education officials are engaged in a hypothetical analysis of financial pressures that the state’s public universities, including the University of Oregon, face over the next few years. But they want to keep the projections secret. … Pernsteiner said he’d…
President Gottfredson must have had some bad experiences with leaked emails while he was at Irvine. I don’t know anyone who has yet received a substantive email from him. But he does read email – and apparently he’s a bit sensitive even about that. When I first asked for Randy…

Rob Moseley of the RG extracts a little too much honesty from UO’s well incentivized Athletic Director Rob Mullens, talking about the search for a new football coach: “I think we do things the right way here; I think most people in the industry absolutely understand that,” Mullens said. “I just…
Posted here. Weird, the word “win” does not appear. And still no word from Randy Geller or OUS Counsel Ryan Hagemann on docking Chip Kelly’s pay for lawyers and other NCAA costs. Are they really going to fumble this, and let Kelly walk away with another $500,000 or so in UO…
Executive Summary: Bean still confused by numbers. Alex-Assensoh makes friends. Tublitz’s motion on a performance review of Bean put off until Feb meeting, giving Bean a little more time to find a new job, maybe Rose-Hulman will bite.
