Message: [QUOTE="dollarbill44, post: 88308, member: 686"] I will preface this by saying I'm not a lawyer, (although I've been involved in a handful of contract lawsuits including some that cross state/international boundaries and one involving WVU), but aren't temporary restraining orders usually issued just to buy a few extra days until a preliminary hearing can be held? An injunction is a little different situation as these can be longer term, but, what are the odds that the BE could get one? I ask because I honestly don't know. Even if they could get one, couldn't WVU go to a higher court and have a decent shot at getting it vacated? These things get sticky because the judges making these decisions are usually politically appointed (not to impugn any judges out there). I could also see a judge stating that 9 months is plenty of time to replace WVU on the schedules of teams since it happens all the time that games are dropped and replaced within the same calendar year.
