Two Good Samaritan board members leave after combined 48 years
VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— Thursday marked the final day for two members of Good Samaritan's Board of Governors. Mary Cay Martin began her tenure on the board on February 9, 1998, and Jim Zeigler started on April 8, 2003. Both have served as board president at one point in their tenure, Ziegler doing so from 2007-2009 and again from 2016-2021, and Martin from 2009-2013 and most recently served as Vice Chairwoman. Through their over four decades of combined service, Martin and Zeigler assisted in guiding the hospital through CEO transitions, major facility expansions, the introduction of new care models/partnerships, and more. 'This has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had,' Martin shared. 'I'm so grateful to Sherry Gregg Gilmore for asking me to serve and for supporting me throughout the years.' Martin added that some of her biggest highlights were being voted board president, the construction of the Gibault Memorial, and the launch of the hospital's Federally Qualified Health Center. 'I love this hospital and its commitment to the community,' Zeigler added. 'People should know they can receive top-tier health care right here at home.' Martin and Zeigler will be succeeded by Craig Kirk and Dr. Lance Payton who will begin in June. 'I've had the privilege of working with Jim and Mary Cay for their entire tenure on our Board of Governors,' Good Samaritan CEO Rob McLin said. 'For the past 15 years, they've been my 'bosses,' and I've been honored to work with two individuals who gave of their time to lead Good Samaritan toward our ultimate goal of providing world-class care through world-class caregivers.'

What's that on State Route 12 near Rosa Parks Boulevard, Clarksville Pike in Davidson Co.
While there are no full lane closures on State Route 12 in Davidson County, the road will see slowdowns due to alternating lane closures as ramp work continues through the end of May. So, "what's that," you might ask. We have the answer. Erin Zeigler, a spokesperson with the Tennessee Department of Transportation, said the project along State Route 12 is part of the state's policy to adhere to a Federal Highway Administration mandate to support bicycle transportation, pedestrian walkways that meet Americans with Disabilities Act and other standards. Curb upgrades will cause daily lane closures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., according to TDOT. Lane closures on State Route 12 at the Rosa L. Parks Boulevard and Reverend Kelly M. Smith Way intersection are happening for ADA curb ramp upgrades at mile marker 3.2. There will be alternating lane closures during the project at Clarksville Pike and Buena Vista Pike for an ADA curb ramp upgrade from mile marker 3.34-3.9. While it is integral that TDOT meet guidelines and standards, ensuring the Department's transportation services, programs and activities are accessible to all persons goes beyond compliance, we know a successful transportation system is critical for the public's mobility, safety, economy and health – and we are dedicated to deliver that to all Tennesseans," Zeigler said in an emailed statement. Zeigler said the project will not have any full road closures or detours, though delays could occur because of the alternating lane closures associated with the project. The curb ramp project will be completed, weather permitting, by the end of May, Zeigler said. "What's that?" is a periodic feature in The Tennessean that focuses on road closures in Nashville and Davidson County. Email cshoup@ if you see a road closure and think: "What's that?"

Zakai Zeigler suing NCAA; what impact could ruling have on future eligibility?
Two-time SEC defensive player of the year Zakai Zeigler is suing the NCAA over rules limiting him to four seasons in a five-year window as an unlawful restraint of trade under both federal and Tennessee laws. Zeigler's lawsuit was filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The point guard played four seasons at Tennessee, leading the Volunteers to consecutive Elite Eight berths before graduating earlier this month. The Vols went 109-36 during Zeigler's time with the school. He was a third-team All-American this season, which ended with Tennessee's loss to eventual national runner-up Houston in the Elite Eight. "We have requested a preliminary injunction to allow Zakai to compete in the upcoming season while pursuing his graduate studies," according to a statement from the Garza Law Firm and Litson PLLC. "We look forward to a swift resolution of this matter so that Zakai can begin preparing for next season." The NCAA said in a statement the association fully supports athletes profiting from name, image and likeness along with other benefits and is working for such reforms, which includes a proposed $2.8 billion settlement of an antitrust lawsuit. "A patchwork of different state laws, executive orders and court opinions make it challenging for any league to operate on a fair playing field, including at the conference level and that's why partnering with Congress to develop a national standard would provide stability for student-athletes and schools everywhere," the NCAA said. This latest lawsuit against the NCAA notes Zeigler "diligently completed his undergraduate degree in four years" and graduated this month. That makes Zeigler's lawsuit different from athletes who started careers at junior colleges or lower-division NCAA schools and are seeking a fifth season. Yet the NCAA rule limiting athletes to four seasons during a five-year window keeps Zeigler from playing a fifth season and earning NIL money in "the most lucrative year of the eligibility window for the vast majority of athletes," according to the lawsuit. How much could Zeigler earn in a fifth season with the Vols? The lawsuit says between $2 million and $4 million for 2025-26, given his record and visibility playing in the SEC and based on projections from the Spyre Sports Group, the NIL collective associated with the university. Athletes who redshirt or take five years to finish an undergraduate degree can earn NIL money each of their five years. The lawsuit also points to the NCAA's redshirt system controlling who gets access to a fifth year of eligibility. The lawsuit asks that the NCAA rule be declared a violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act and Tennessee's Trade Practices Act. If Zeigler were to win the lawsuit, it would set an unprecedented standard for athletes pursuing a fifth season of eligibility. Just six months ago, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, arguing his junior college eligibility should not count against his Division I eligibility. Like in Zeigler's case, the argument centered around the NCAA placing a cap on his potential NIL compensation. A judge granted Pavia a preliminary injunction, allowing him an extra year of eligibility, which he is set to use in the upcoming 2025 college football season. This is a developing story.

Tennessee's Zakai Zeigler files lawsuit against NCAA, challenging redshirt rule for fifth year of eligibility
Zakai Zeigler finished his athletic eligibility at Tennessee with the end of the Volunteers' 2024-25 men's basketball season. However, the guard has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking a fifth year of eligibility. Zeigler has already played four seasons for Tennessee and didn't begin his college career until 2021, one year after the 2020-21 class that was allowed one more year of eligibility lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District Court of Tennessee, Zeigler is seeking a preliminary injunction that would allow him to play the 2025-26 season. He is challenging the NCAA rule that an athlete has four years of eligibility within a five-year window. Zeigler, 22, isn't allowed an opportunity to earn NIL money for a fifth year because he's used up all of his eligibility. As the lawsuit argues, that deprives him of a fifth year, "the most lucrative year of the eligibility window for the vast majority of athletes." How lucrative? The lawsuit argues that Zeigler could earn between $2 million and $4 million in a fifth year based on his record of success and visibility playing in the SEC. Those figures are projections from the Spyre Sports Group, which facilitates Tennessee's NIL collective. Athletes who receive a redshirt are allowed a fifth year of eligibility, which gives them one more year to earn NIL income. A freshman who was redshirted, for example, would still be able to earn NIL money even if he or she doesn't play. the man with the bag17 PTS / 15 AST for Zakai Zeigler — Tennessee Basketball (@Vol_Hoops) December 24, 2024 As the filing, the documents of which were posted online by Boise State professor Sam Ehrlich, reads: "Many players, however, do compete in the fifth year of their eligibility window. And they can earn NIL compensation for all five of those years. Had Zeigler been withheld from competing in sports during one of those four years, perhaps by redshirting, the NCAA rules would permit him to participate again next year. And this is true even if he would have slowed his academic progress and taken five years to graduate." Zeigler graduated in May, majoring in retail and merchandising management, and would pursue a graduate degree during a fifth year of eligibility. This is different from the lawsuit Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia filed against the NCAA, claiming that he should be allowed a fifth year of eligibility because he played his first two years for New Mexico Military Institute, a junior college. In December, Pavia was granted an injunction allowing him to play the 2025 college football season. Last season with the Vols, the 5-foot-9 Zeigler averaged 13.6 points, 7.4 assists and 1.9 steals while shooting 32% on 122 3-point attempts. He was named a third-team All-American, and won first-team All-SEC and SEC defensive player of the year honors for two consecutive seasons. The Volunteers finished 30-8, 12-6 in the SEC, and advanced to the NCAA tournament's Elite Eight before losing to Houston. Zeigler holds the Tennessee single-season (275) and career (747) records for assists, and career steals with 251.
