Goon Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 This is really good news. I am surprised no has said anything yet. UND's preliminary injunction against the NCAA was approved Saturday night, North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said. Stenehjem was in Florida and did not know details of the decision. District Judge Lawrence Jahnke, who decided on the case, alerted Stenehjem on Saturday but did not return phone calls to the Herald on the matter late Saturday night.

Let'sGoHawks! Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 This is great news, but not really unexpected news. Thankfully the football team can focus on football now instead of this crap. GO SIOUX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 I am surprised the NCAA hasn't flipped out about it. If I am not mistaken; (I am not a lawyer) to get an injunction doesn't the Judge need to believe he the one asking for the injunction has a better chance that not of winning the case against the defendant.

sioux7>5 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I am so excited. I think that this is a big win for them. I know anything can happen in a full lawsuit but I for one am chalking this up as a vistory for the FIghting Sioux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It's going to be interesting to see how the rest of the membership (those who bowed down to the NC$$) respond to this little ol' injunction. Not likely, but wouldn't it be fun to see some of them reconsider changing their name and logo's!?! It will be very gratifying to see our logo on national television AND very likely having the commentators discuss our injunction. Sports fans across the country will know that UND did NOT bend over to the NC$$. A thumbing of our nose to the NC$$!! (Vindictive *itch, ain't I, .) I had no doubt we would win this injunction. I also have no doubt that we will prevail in the lawsuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I don't believe it has any impact on schools other than UND. Because this is a State case and not a Federal case, you just might be right. If other schools have any cojones, they may attempt to use this ruling to their advantage.

Tommiejo Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Getting this Injunction is a start. Now that UND has that out the way to begin with I don't know about ya'll but I have a feeling that UND is like a shark that has the smell of blood in the water & the blood is that of the NC$$. Two words on that. CHOP CHOP. SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Stenehjem, in asking for the injunction, said the ban might cost UND (9-1, 7-1 North Central Conference) home field advantage in this year's NCAA Division II football playoffs. With its 33-26 win Saturday over South Dakota, UND is likely to receive a bye in the first round, starting on Nov. 18. "We should be in good shape to be able to host in two weeks at the Alerus, "said UND Athletic Director Tom Buning. Seems funny this was a re-occuring theme up until the NCAA rained on our parade.

HockeyMom Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Just found out about the injunction. Congrats UND! *checks scorecard* UND 1 NCAA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Whistler Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I wonder if the reason the NCAA didn't petition to move this case up to the federal courts was to keep the ruling limited. Of course if UND wins they'll have a hard time enforcing their mandate elsewhere, but they're dumb enough to try I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I guess I don't understand why the injunction would apply to UND only and not to every school affected by it. If the judge says that the NCAA violated its own rules to implement the policy, then the policy is illegitimate. If the policy is legally void, then nobody is covered by it.

HockeyMom Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I think after the Sioux got bumped down to the #3 seed in the playoffs the scorecard needs to be updated... UND 1 NCAA 1 However, I believe this petty and spiteful behavior will only be used against them in the court case. *watches the replay* *disallows the point* I can't give the NCAA a point for that, that's like giving them a point for banning the Sioux from post-season play. The score remains: UND 1 NCAA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
