@mushroomgod It will be a three-judge (out of 15 total appellate judges) panel that is not assigned from any single district.

@kkott The NCAA is rudderless and has backed itself into a corner where they feel compelled to challenge everything after a period of time of letting anything go. They're not well-advised or choose to ignore good advice. They should just simply acquiesce on this issue - it only affects one class and it would simply treat them as every class will be treated going forward. But they won't.
Which District are we talking about?
More of a question for Janitor, I guess.
Don't know how the panel of 3 is selected, but 8 of the 15 have IU B-Ton undergrad or JD degrees (one has both). I like our chances.
If you watched the ncaa attorney's argument, you'd immediately realize dei is alive and well in that building.
As expected, the NCAA filed an "Emergency(!)" motion to stay the injunction last night in the trial court and asked the court to rule within 24 hours. The court might, or might not, meet that deadline but when it does rule it will be to deny the motion. The NCAA will then file the same motion with the Court of Appeals and then the rubber will meet the road.

Its only a country judge the ncaa will appeal to a higher court within days in my guess.
Good insight. Premium content. 😉

Be nice if the ruling holds until at least 11 pm on Friday.

In rare cases . . . To me, this is a sign of desperation, but you never know.
What's this issue of great public importance they reference?
Covering for the NCAA's bungling of equal application of their own rules?
@openwheel A bizarre vendetta against the high school class of 2022?
@janitor14 - It is incredibly strange that they're choosing this hill as the one they want to die on. What is being requested has a clear line of demarcation and doesn't open up ongoing issues/litigation since it's just the one class. It makes too much sense to have included the 2022 class in the original ruling. No one would've questioned their logic had they simply come out after the case was initiated and agreed with the obvious logic behind modifying their original rule. The only fear was around the weird NFL situation but none of those NFL players are still fighting to play (to my knowledge) so it's truly just these final players.
The spouse of a good friend of mine works for the NCAA. The scuttlebutt over dinner and drinks a year or so ago, is that Charlie Baker isn't really much of a leader, doesn't inspire much confidence and doesn't seem to be particularly engaged. This was after his weirdly flippant congressional testimony in late 24.
It would not surprise me if there was a pervasive "IDGAF, I just work here" attitude in the organization.

A background heavy in government positions and politics. May be shock to him that a 'we make the rules and you follow them!' approach has some holes.
Although, actually, compromising or gaining consensus should be what he's more used to. Don't know.
