*** Update on Bediako case…

This isn’t accurate. 4 p.m. is whenever the judge requested proposed orders from each side of the argument. There’s no official guarantee if the ruling will come today. If it doesn’t, I believe he can play tomorrow under TRO.

We are absolutely going to get screwed here. There's just too much national pressure. Even though legally this should be an easy win for Bediako

Ouch

Perhaps, CB should have just sued the NCAA like Pavia and Joey... of course, he'd need a partial judge like they seem to get in TN.

Prick will lose his black robe if he rules against UA, count on it. He's an elected official.

If the judge rules in NCAA‘s favor, is that the end of it, or does CB have recourse?

Hopefully we don't have to find out.

Here’s my best explanation to this point.

my gut is pessimistic here, hope to be wrong

Just curious - at the end of the season, what do you think our record is if Bediako is declared eligible vs. ineligible?

I am a practicing litigation attorney. 4PM proposed orders mean that a decision is not likely until next week. Unless the judge works through the weekend, which would be unusual for a civil matter. But this case is high profile so that could bring some uncertainty.

Good information. Thanks.

There’s one man who can answer all this @mac92

For context, judges are government employees. Most of them work something around a typical 8-5, M-F. Sometimes they read briefs or material in the evenings or the weekends, rarely do they enter orders outside of regular business hours, except for emergencies and in certain crimnial contexts. Competing proposed orders means the judge will have to read both, evaluate which he will adopt, likely make edits, and then actually file the order. That could be done first thing Monday morning, but I doubt it will be this evening unless the judge is set on getting it done today due to the high profile nature and has cleared his schedule to do so. In a normal case I'd tell you that you would get a decision within the next week or two.

Wonder if judge could issue an order today, with a written opinion to come later. Not saying likely, but maybe possible. Written opinion feels more appropriate for an PI than a TRO

Irreparable harm is always the tricky part of a PI.

He’ll play tomorrow because I doubt we see a ruling before next week.

If he rules against Chuck, can we rescind his bachelor’s degree?

Proposed orders means it will be a written order. He will take one of the two orders, tweak it to his liking, and sign it. Proposed orders are basically a way to issue a written opinion while shifting the labor of writing it onto the attorneys.
