None of us have any sort of inalienable right to do whatever we want. If an employer chooses to set standards (and they can be rather arbitrary) and that limits some folks from being eligible for the position then so be it. So far, all any of us apparently knows is the little that has been in the media ( a great source for factual info, right??).


Just because someone has been getting by for 5 years does not mean that once his disqualifying situation becomes known he cannot be let go.

As for him not being offered a job as an observer/replay official/ etc etc etc, I don't think we know yet what was or was not offered or why. If he was not offered any such job, that suggests to me that there is more to the story.

And as for the lawsuit, I suspect his actual damages are so trivial in the grand scheme that the Big Ten might pay him off just to have the situation go away, especially if they have not been doing their job over the years of verifying physical status.
