The jury was made up of six men and six women, six white and six black.
The jury, for the most part, knew nothing about sports.
There's no question that emotion, not facts, played the biggest role in the jury's decision. They found the University liable for breach of contract as well as racial discrimination.
Nelson was named personally in the lawsuit as well and as a result, is personally liable.
When you appeal something like this, only the facts mean anything. I am confident that JB will never see this kind of money.

It was a 60 minutes investigation, Blakeney is heard telling a recruit "Now, keep it on the down low, cuz."
Google is your friend.
