Whoever thinks this is going to be resolved any time soon is fooling themselves. It’s going to be a long, arduous legal process before any resolution is reached.
Only hope for TSJ suiting up for the Illini again is the TRO. If it’s denied, this is the team we’re riding with for better or worse.
Agreed the TSJ All-American train will not leave the station again this year for the ILLINI, it is a shame. We had a very good-great year going, and dare I say it was in a down year nationwide.
There is not one team in the nation this year that you can look at and say, they can't be beat, this year will have a non blue blood winning the national title imo, thanks in large part to the transfer portal and the NIL game that is being played.
The good old days of say a legit 5-8 teams every year being looked at to win the C-Ship is long gone. This is a plus to the ILLINI in the future as well as many other program due to evening the playing field, this year it will not help us with our biggest transfer ever being no longer with us.
Best of wishes TSJ, and the young lady involved, I hope whatever the truth is, it actually comes out and the result is commensurate with that outcome for either party.
