I have not doubt that Graves' attorney is out for a paycheck and publicity. Whether Graves is suspended from the team won't have any impact on that. It may have impact on the overall outcome, but I doubt it. I'm not an attorney and am not too familiar with the process. But if I understand it correctly, I expect that the attorney will file a tort claim and after a period of time file suit. Both brings press for him and his client as well as the university. That will be leveraged into a settlement of some sort with the university, whether it's deserved or not.
FWIW... I don't blame Kramer for the suspension. How is he or the team going to have any kind of focus with the Graves kid on the field? I say that knowing that it's going to be a circus moving forward anyway. With Graves on the field, I would suppose that the coaches and the team will be walking on egg shells. In my opinion, Graves participating would make a bad situation worse.
