Court ruling clears way for 2 Indiana football players, others to play (for now). What we know

BLOOMINGTON — Eight athletes, including IU football players Kellan Wyatt and Stephen Daley, were granted a temporary restraining order in an Indiana circuit court Friday, restoring for the moment their eligibility to play college sports.

Filed and granted in Monroe County Circuit Court, the TRO asserts that the plaintiffs “have shown by verified pleading and supporting evidence that immediate and irreparable injury will occur before notice can be served and a hearing held.”

“The Court further finds that the plaintiffs have demonstrated a probable right to relief,” the order states, “and that the threatened injury outweighs any temporary burden imposed by this Order pending an expedited hearing.”

Importantly, the order is not lasting. That hearing will be held at 9 a.m., Friday, Sept. 11, in Monroe Circuit Court, where the court will hear the plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary injunction, a firmer legal decision.
