There's that. And the judge was an idiot!
I didn't agree with the judge. Most people with even a layman's knowledge of the law were surprised by it.
Since you seem to take these things better coming from calvin than me, here's what he said when the TRO was filed:
" kind of like that they did this if his version is anywhere near the truth, but I'd be really surprised if a court granted this. I'm not sure local state courts can order universities to keep a kid on a sports team, and the Kansas court could just alter his bail conditions and it'd be moot fairly quickly.
Again I'd caution people that things like an internet search by the victim read great to people who believe one set of facts and poorlly when framed by someone making a different base assumption."

"" The harm that I will suffer from an immediate suspension can never be undone, and I will never have this opportunity to further my collegiate career or fulfill my lifelong dream to play in the NBA."
Very much not true and to the extent he loses money by not being a lottery pick, his grievance should be with the NBA's collusive collective bargaining agreement and to a lesser extent the victim and the State of Kansas. I fully encourage him to fight the system, but UIUC is his friend, not his enemy, and its hands are tied.
I have concerns about the advice he's getting if they advised him this was a good idea. He needs to keep his ass out of jail before he talks about the lottery."

"I think the only way he's back this season is if he pleas to a misdemeanor and the university is 100% behind him that it was a bogus charge that never should've been filed."

"I stand corrected. Terrible legal result, great basketball result!"
https://illinihq2.com/index.php/topic,1102.msg114226.html#msg114226and
"Yup. This is just harm, most of which is speculative and not irreparable. He has adequate remedies of law for much of the harm. And this sidesteps that he doesn't have a protected right to play college basketball in the first place."
https://illinihq2.com/index.php/topic,1102.msg114237.html#msg114237Here's what he said about the OSCR panel (in agreement with me saying "I think it seems absolutely crazy to tell a university they need to determine the likelihood of someone's guilt in a courtroom before they suspend him, but here we are.") :
"No criminal defense attorney really wants their client testifying at such a thing, either."
https://illinihq2.com/index.php/topic,1102.msg114247.html#msg114247But it doesn't matter whether I or Calvin agree with a judge at all. The judge's interpretation is the only thing that counts. Maybe I should just match my name and profile pic to calvin's, and then you guys will actually listen to what I say instead of just making shit up.
