TSJ Thread
- Status
Isn’t the panel a university policy? I know the details are unclear but is the AD helping TSJs team to get around the panel they made for addressing this very issue with the courts? What is the point of the panel then if it can just be worked around in this manner? Not saying anything is wrong or right, just confused.
Yep, makes sense. Guessing that discussion happens during his hearing.
"Against the UI".... I'm no law expert, but is this move an attempt to basically neuter the panel?
Could this actually work?
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?
I was kinda thinking this as well.
No one knows but let's hope this gets him back on the court.
This does not seem like a reason to be optimistic whatsoever. @illini0440 @LvilleILL do you still feel like there's reason for optimism or have dynamics shifted since your posts / GIFs a few days ago?
Sir - 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.

TSJ (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.

Different type of case, obviously, but it worked for Dave Wilson back in 1980.
University of Illinois quarterback Dave Wilson can continue playing...
University of Illinois quarterback Dave Wilson can continue playing football for the Illini, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled Friday in a 4-3 decision....
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.
I view this as a way to “tie” the universities hands. Basically they had to suspend him and keep him suspended until legal action is over. Outside of charges being dropped or dismissed this seems like literally the only option.
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.
But I don't know anything about the legal process or have any inside information. Hoping for some sort of signals from insiders

I generally agree with your comments
but this so called incident occurred at 1:00 in the afternoon on Sat after the game
Does anyone want to chime in with how long this would take to reach a decision?
God help us
All you legal experts out there, is this something that’s more than a Hail Mary to hold up? I agree with the concept that he isn’t really getting the innocent until proven guilty treatment by being barred from furthering his future when he hasn’t been convicted of anything at this time. Could really save the university from the PR nightmare but also would render the panel useless for any future reviews I would think.

Even if this worked, wouldn't he still only be allowed to play home games until the case is resolved? AFAIK a condition of his bail is he can't leave town.
I understand from the TSJ perspective this would get him back on the team
However from a BU standpoint do u play him?
Also this could establish precedent for future cases
