There are probably a lot of reasons to sue a collegiate sports program for kicking you off the team without any previous knowledge of the happenings. If the coach tried to seduce you with flavored candles in his apartment or the athletic director forced you to do a Starry Night shot and you declined or if the mascot of the college was seen dry-humping your girlfriend on the JumboTron and you complained.
One reason not to sue is if you're dropped from the squad because you suck at the sport.
As we noted yesterday, Andrew Giuliani, son of Rudy, is suing Duke University because he was "illegally terminated from the team in February."
As Andrew complains of wrongdoings, the numbers just sit there smiling, explaining what went down. Giuliani has played in four tournaments in his first three seasons at Duke and was probably not going to get much time on the links this season as five of the top six golfers on the team are returning for 2008-09.
His scoring average was 75.75, extremely mediocre at the college level, and he shot as many rounds (1) in the 80s as he did breaking 72. For a team currently ranked 15th in the nation, a guy like that is extremely disposable.Oh, and then there's this.
In his four tournaments, he compiled a head-to-head won-loss record of 54-235-11 (a .198 winning percentage).I'm sure more will unfold in this story, but the bottom line is a kid that was probably let on the team because of his last name is trying to flex unnecessary muscles because of his last name.
I guess this gives him more time to practice to be that professional golfer he talked about.
