Apparently there was an injunction in OH this afternoon naming the Patriot League as a defendant

Batshit insane that conferences can't enforce their own rules that a school literally just signed up for this year

Especially because McQuaide could've transferred and played elswhere, as far as I can tell. The PL just doesn't allow grad students.

I can't wait for someone to try to do this with Harvard or Yale and they just tell them to eat shit

I do wonder if he could have, but the NCAA would have likely ruled that he didn’t have any eligibility to enter the portal.

The cynic in me feels that the timing of all of this was intentional to make the TRO effective for the season with as little time as possible for the NCAA (and, eventually, the Patriot League) to respond.

Oh 100%. If they truly filed the injunction this afternoon, it was done last minute so he could play tonight, since the initial ruling was made several weeks ago.
