It’s Illinois they once had like three state governors go to prison for corruption and they also had the congressman and the stamps (Rustonkoski?). Point being the ruling came from a judge in Illinois. I am certain it was made without bias and according to established legal precedent. And I just remembered this is also the state that executed what could have been a number of innocent men admitted coerced confessions. In fact it was so bad they had to stop executions not sure if they started again. I moved out of the state in 2010. So nothing surprising to see here.

Well, I can think of some states much nearer to us than Illinois where governors have gone to jail.

So is the judge going to be picking the starters and telling people when to sub in? If Illinois really believed he shouldn't appear in games, they could just sit him.

Three in a row?

I did not read the decision, but I'm assuming by the timing of it that it is more about getting his scholarship (and the relevant perks) than it is about playing time. A judge can't force Underwood to play the kid, but they can certainly force him to have on-campus housing, tutors, scholarships, etc. associated with being on the ball team.

He's going to play. From what I've heard Illinois and Bill Self have been working behind the scenes on Shannon's behalf.

What interest would Self have? A mid-year transfer to Kansas?

No, it has nothing to do with Bill Self wanting him to play for Kansas.

Illinois was working to get a restraining order against itself?

I haven't followed this case but that doesn't really make any sense. The University is the defendant that is restrained and enjoined from continuing his suspension. They opposed his application for injunctive relief. If they were working behind the scenes on his behalf why didn't they just not suspend him in the first place?

Media/public outrage would be my guess.

Shannon had 16 in his return today in a blowout of Rutgers.

Gavin Griffiths barely plays anymore, he made a mistake going there.

Governors and mayors of that state’s biggest cities LOL

And does he get burn with the class they got coming in next year?

First Miller and now this. I know there’s a lot of money involved in CBB, but is morality and ethics really gone in college sports?

 

[RichCTBB]

Imagine Shannon stole a laptop? The opposing fanbases should absolutely let loose on Illinois.

Fully gone? No. Situationally applied? Absol-freakin'-lutely!

That should be the part that pisses us all off the most. "The rules are for thee, but not for me"

Oy vey. Shannon returning to the court has nothing to do with a lack of morality and ethics.

In the big time theatre of sports? Yep.
