When a hit becomes a ‘hit’

March Mad­ness is unde rway. Base­ball sea­son begins in two weeks. Clearly, it must be time for a col­umn about the law of … foot­ball? Indeed, foot­ball is the sport mak­ing legal news right now both for the penal­ties it has just imposed on teams for vio­la­tions of a non-existent salary cap in 2010 and, even more so, for the penal­ties that it is about to impose on teams for run­ning a “bounty” sys­tem. The lat­ter is more crit­i­cal, and, though law enforce­ment offi­cials in cities like New Orleans, Buf­falo and Wash­ing­ton have already declined to become involved, it is the lat­ter that also likely crossed the line into being criminal.

Com­ing into the game, Xavier was ranked as the 8th best team in the nation and so it wasn’t sur­pris­ing that as the final sec­onds ticked off the clock, Xavier was win­ning by a com­fort­able margin.
