I previously read it was federal court, but I just looked it up and see it is a Texas state court. That could throw nutjobism into it for a while. Ultimately the result will be the same.

Federal Court the judges are appointed; State Court is usually elected - this guy may know where his bread is buttered.

Yes, but the judge can't blatantly render incorrect opinions without consequences. Again, legally speaking, this case is not related to any of the other state court cases about NCAA eligibility.

this is only a TRO, the Judge isn't finding whether Sorsby can win his case, just a strong probability that he will...they will then do their best to maintain the status quo through trial. Sorsby's attorney argued the status quo was him playing...

The precedent this would set is so perverse to contemplate. It also would completely upend the actual case law precedents. Sorsby’s case is MUCH worse, for example, than the ISU players. It would be pure and naked self-interest by the judge.

So, aside from any additional documents that may be requested by the judge, the arguments are over and now it's just a waiting game for the judge to issue a ruling. Is that correct.

Yes. Did the judge ask for documents or supplemental briefing?
