Email this story. TUSCALOOSA | Circuit Judge Steven Wilson this morning dismissed all remaining charges against the National Collegiate Athletic Association in a civil suit filed by former University of Alabama coaches Ronnie Cottrell and Ivy Williams. The ruling, which followed the testimony an NCAA clerical worker, came at 11:15 a.m. at the conclusion of a brief sidebar meeting. "Absolutely, we feel like this is a victory for us,'' NCAA attorney Robert Rutherford said. "What can you say? We've lost against the NCAA, but we definitely will appeal,'' said Tommy Gallion, attorney for Cottrell and Williams. "I am like a tick on a hound dog. You will have to burn me off to get rid of me. We will keep going against Tom Culpepper. That's all we have left.'' The trial, which initially sought damages of $60 million, will continue this afternoon against Culpepper, a former recruiting analyst who plaintiffs blame for the loss of their jobs at Alabama. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
