This case will likely be decided by the date players have to withdraw from nba draft. I believe that date is May 29. That is drop dead date. That is rubicon for their future eligibility. Injunction will be decided by then. This is state court. Motion will be decided on affidavits and legal memoranda. No evidentiary hearing or trial—just oral argument by counsel. Waiver was denied by ncaa this week. Suit was filed immediately. Jackson Lewis a well respected law firm.
Dingle/Ledlum court case
- Thread starter dk423
- Start date
Likely suit was filed pro bono or on a contingency—players likely not paying hourly rates for counsel.
Yes preliminary injunction will effectively decide case. Trial would take years. Season would be long over. But the injundtion will be decided quickly.
I love to read about pro athletes who invested well. Great stuffThe Microwave !!!

Just make sure Ben has his hot dog and wears his searsucker suit
Im trying to figure out how that might work. Because right now they technically have been told they have no eligibility so there is no transfer portal for them to enter into. If the ncaa later says they have extra eligibility, I wonder if the portal would open for them temporarily. Also would have to think, SJU pushing the lawsuit would mean they are committed to playing for SJU but guess you can’t take anything for granted when it comes to that.
Knowing the NCAA in that situation they would say under their new rule that grad transfers are under same deadline rules as undergrads they can transfer to another school but would have to sit out a year (vindictive bastards).
Yes but complaint in court says they want to go back to sju unless drafted. SJU supporting suit. So likely win equals return of two players who know Pitino system.
If the TRO/injunction happens before May 1, I don't see why they wouldn't be allowed to enter the portal. But if it happens after, I don't think the courts would give them an additional deadline to enter the portal. I looked at the first four pages of that tweet, and none of the antitrust stuff was about wanting to hop into the portal so it doesn't seem to be part of their case.
Venued in Queens County I will be surprised if
a temporary injunction is not granted.
They don’t need the trsnsfer
Portal. They are already at St. John’s.
The discussion in above posts was a hypothetical situation that I was responding to
100% agree; all-in on these 2 young men. Quality guys & players & both would make the team incredibly deep, and hungry.
Too many damned lawyers here. 
This is probably my #1 reason for wanting this. Both are a great bridge for our other returnees to have similar roles a year later.
Back when they made a big deal of how old Andrew Gaze was when he played at Seton Hall. He was just shy of his 24th birthday when he took the Pirates to the NCAA finals. Today that would be kind of ordinary.
Like the one that overthrew the multi transfer rule.
