sioux7>5 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Is anyone going to the hearing on Thursday? Is it open to the public? Living in Minneapolis what is going to happen and how we will be able to get that news. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksioux Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yes, it will be open to the public. There may or may not be a ruling on Thursday. The Judge could take it under advisement and rule by written order on Friday (but hopefully not later than Friday given the selection committee meeting taking place early next week). Once there is a ruling, I suspect the Herald and Forum will post it on their website in short order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once there is a ruling, I suspect the Herald and Forum will post it on their website in short order. The committees will likely meet Saturday night, as the selections are announced on Sunday. If there's not a ruling by Friday, it may be too late, at least for the first round. However, if UND wins on Saturday, it would be nearly assured of no worse than a number 2 seed, which means a first round bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux7>5 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 What time is the hearing on Thursday? I think the hearing is scheduled to be from 10am-5pm on Thursday. I just hope the judge is smart enough to grant an injuction asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksioux Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 would Friday being a holiday affect when they make the decision? I forgot about the holiday (sorry veterans). You're right, that would probably preclude a Friday ruling date. I hope that means the Judge (and his law clerk) have been doing their research ahead of time and will be prepared to rule from the bench on Thursday. I suspect that will be the case.

Diggler Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Why wouldn't UND get an injunction on Thursday? At the very least they present a decent case and you'd think that they would therefore get the injunction. There doesn't seem like there would be that much you'd have to consider for that. I'm probably wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Why wouldn't UND get an injunction on Thursday? Nothing is a given until is it completed. Just ask Kellen Briggs, or Tyler McGregor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsowe Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 It doesn't matter if we get the injuction because the NCAA will find a way to not have a UND home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux7>5 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 It doesn't matter if we get the injuction because the NCAA will find a way to not have a UND home game. If the NCAA does that then they in my opinion give UND more ammunition(spelling) because UND can show damages and it has a more tangible feel to it. If the injunction is granted then the NCAA needs to treat UND the same as any other school untill it is decided in court. If they would find a way not to give the Sioux homefield then it just strenghtens UND's case. That is just my opinion I could be wrong.

mksioux Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Why doesn't anybody think this won't be removed to federal court?? This question has also been bugging me for a while now. I suspect the simple answer is "Because they probably would have done it already." A notice of removal must be filed within 30 days after after receipt of the pleadings by the defendant. I believe the NCAA should have received the pleadings on October 6 and the 30 day deadline has passed. And the more I think about it, the NCAA may not have had grounds to remove to federal court. North Dakota drafted the complaint to avoid federal subject matter jurisdiction. While I thought diversity jurisdiction was a no-brainer, it may be that an association like the NCAA is treated like partnership for purposes of diversity jurisdiction. That is, the NCAA has partners that reside in North Dakota and that breaks diversity jurisdiction. I'm not really sure, but it seems to me that the NCAA would have already removed it to federal court if they had grounds to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure, but it seems to me that the NCAA would have already removed it to federal court if they had grounds to do so. Good point. However, I also know that associations are also incorporated or chartered in a given jurisdiction for regulatory and tax purposes, so diversity *may* not be an issue. Then again, I haven't seen fit to wander down the hall and bother our litigation department about those musty rules I forgot after I took the Bar. I wonder if the NC$$ is more concerned about losing in a federal court, or the 8th Circuit, and creating a federal precedent. If the NC$$ lost in GF County, they might have the impetus to settle before the case was published or went to the ND Supreme Court. As well, few other courts will view a local judgment as having much authority in their state(s). Once it hits the federal courts, even if unpublished, it can be used for authority in a number of other courts and contexts, and the horse has left the barn. Therefore, the State will need to brush up on its enforcement of judgments rules, if the NC$$ loses and elects not to appeal to the ND Supremes.

I was thinking you would have to be to make head or tails of all this legal stuff. Yikes. It makes sense though if the NCAA loses their case in Federal Court they will look like the chumps many of us think they are already. Then that sets them up to be sued by everyone that has been wronged by this flawed policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux Traveler Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I don't think we lose this battle, but if we did I say we are renamed the Fighting Fockers. No. 9. Focker DR1 Triplane Perhaps the classic World War I fighter, noted for the successes chalked up by Baron Manfred von Richthofen better known as the Red Baron. Single-winged fighters were still in their infancy during World War I, biplanes were the design of choice as they could take the harsh gravitational forces of aerial combat. But if two wings were good, engineers reasoned that three should make the DR1 even better, and they were right. The extra wing allowed the plane to climb higher and to climb faster. When the DR1 was rolled out in 1917 it wasn't just the superb wings and the top speed pf 115mph that made it an awesome fighter, it also had machine guns that fired through the propellor arc, a revolutionary World War I innovation. http://www.mymultiplesclerosis.co.uk/great...hterplanes.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I we get an injuction the NCAA can't legally unless they want to lose more money. I am not a lawyer and I at least know they can't do that.

The NCAA could risk being held in contempt of court if they do that. I agree on more subjective things like hockey regionals, though, the NCAA will find a way to make sure Engelstad Arena doesn't host, even if there is an injunction.

I highly doubt any of them even understands exactly what the NCAA ruling was. As if it really makes any difference to these people whether UND plays at home or on the road in the playoffs?

As to the non-"educators" who may be in the coven, without a job one can become either a bum or a protester. If I had the pleasure of choosing company, I'd choose the bum.
