Darren Heitner of The Sports Agent Blog brought to my attention the case of Joseph Agnew against the NCAA that was filed in the Northern District of California in San Francisco. Agnew was a member of the Rice football program but his scholarship was not renewed for his senior season. Earlier this year, the US Department of Justice said they would look at the rule with special attention being shown by the department’s antitrust division. The rule could be considered as an anticompetitive restraint and basically a price-fixing agreement.
The Maryland Terrapins struggled last season to a 17-39 overall record and went 5-25 in the ACC under first year head coach Erik Bakich. The Terps will be a new team though in the 2011 season as they will welcome 22 newcomers as the class was rated 25th by Baseball America (LINK).
