Yep, makes sense. Guessing that discussion happens during his hearing.So this might be what LVILLE was referencing a couple days ago when he said “something was in the works” appears TJs legal team thinks there’s some hope to get a temporary restraining order upheld for his return to the team. Article is on the news gazette website.
"Against the UI".... I'm no law expert, but is this move an attempt to basically neuter the panel?
Yikes, I'll defer what this means to the insiders. But it seems like whatever hope TSJ team had in finding a resolution that would allow him to play is gone and this is their last ditch effort.
I was kinda thinking this as well.I disagree. I see this as:
ATTORNEY: Okay, what needs to happen for TJ to return to the court?
THREE PERSON PANEL Nothing can be done. Sorry. Our decision is final. Unless of course you file a temporary restraining order which we would be legally bound to respect, or something. But like I said, nothing can be done. Are we clear?
No one knows but let's hope this gets him back on the court.
It is very possible (likely?) that people within UI support TSJ taking this route. We can't lose a PR battle if a court is the one deciding to let him play.so if I'm understanding this UI was working with TJ two weeks ago (sent a staffer with him to turn himself in Lawrence) to now he's suing UI? I'm no legal expert or anything close to please correct me if need be.
I hope this is the case. It just seems odd that Illinois ppl would encourage TSJ to sue them considering it seems Illinois ppl behind the scenes were trying to work with him to find a resolution.I disagree. I see this as:

I generally agree with your commentsSir - I am shocked at your suggestion.
It implies that the University is looking for some kind of legal / PR cover for allowing TSJ to play.
As I tell my kids - nothing good happens after midnight but lots of bad things happen only after midnight. If you want to safe - stay away from the post midnight troublemakers.
I am sure TSJ regrets ever entering that bar.
God help usTSJ (via his lawyers) has every right to bring this motion. A crazy DA can't destroy an innocent person's life and career. This is malarkey!! Yes, I consider TSJ innocent until I see evidence otherwise. If you have evidence, PLEASE SHARE! OTHERWISE, STFU!
Let the justice prevail.
I would think soSurely the athletic department/university have their hand in this decision of filing a restraining order, right?
