Once more, if he gets in on a TOR having lost his BOR appeal. It is highly unlikley that a court would (or even could)over turn the process, historically the process has been repeated. In numerous cases when the process is repeated and the same verdict has been reached, the result is that the "guilty" in terms of the registrar wasn't even there no credit, no academic progress, no anything, degrees have been negated. The expulsions went back to the original dates.
Now I realize in some worlds the U of M's S*** doesn't stink. But I assure you someone will question strongly how he could be "eligible for play" if technically he wasn't even enrolled. The number of people with "standing" could be nearly endless.......
I realize you can't hear or understand what you choose not to, but again its unlikley that a judge will appoint a QB. With luck, should the worst happen JJ may be able to continue his academic career at least temporarily and recieve credit for his work should everything work to his advantage.
I think you might not correctly state the process. If Johnson's expulsion is upheld, I think Dave Paoli will file a complaint to enjoin the U from expelling Johnson on the basis that the process was flawed: didn't provide Johnson with due process (or perhaps equal protection). So the Judge wouldn't be overturning the process, but rather ruling on whether the process was fair. The federal Judge certainly has the power to enjoin the U from expelling Johnson. If the Judge were convinced that the process was indeed flawed, he could issue a preliminary injunction pending a trial on the merits. The decision on the merits would be subject to review by the 9th Circuit...so the beat goes on and this might be going on for years.
And who knows maybe should he lose the final appeal, he'll move on not having a big taste for litigation. Should no legal charges follow, someone will give him a second chance. He is a nearly a 4.0 student.
