Tom Mars: Jim Harbaugh would not have been able to influence NCAA's James Hudson decision

The verbal ping-pong between Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell has also become a dizzying mess of fan bases jousting on social media and radio shows.

Harbaugh is right. Fickell is wrong.

Fickell is right. Harbaugh is wrong.

The bottom line is few people, including coaches, fans and sportswriters, know the NCAA transfer-waiver ropes like lawyer Tom Mars, who became the authoritative voice on the subject after skillfully and successfully representing, most notably, Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson and Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields.

Mars maintains his private practice with Mars Law Firm and the NCAA recently announced he is a member of the newly formed Complex Case Unit.
