this is the guy who handled the Patterson case (along with a few other Ole Miss players) and was able to win immediate eligibility on very flimsy terms. It turns out he is a flaming UMich fan and attends their games in full regatta. guess he had fun in Columbus.
he also took the Justin Fields case, and says he gives credit to Gene Smith and the athletic compliance team who aided his case. again, his case was between Justin Fields (his client), the University of Georgia (present school of Mr. Fields) and the NCAA. the argument is whether Fields should be granted a waiver on the basis of an event that happened at his present school. it would seem that OSU should not be involved in any way at all.
turns out that Mars also believes that players should be paid fair market value, and be granted auto eligibility if they transfer. he plans to build a practice around this work, and calls the NCAA rule changes along with the new database/portal as the IKEA of college football.
you may have heard the idea floating that teams that pick up a transfer player would have to "send a scholarship" to the team that loses the player. so some teams might have 92 scholarships and others only 78 as they had given them up for periods of time. Mars plans to suit the NCAA if they pursue an avenue like that - his argument is the 14th amendment.
