At any time the prosecutor can bring the evidence before a grand jury to procure an indictment independent of the preliminary hearing (which would be a similar process but before a judge rather than an grand jury). This is a more typical procedure for a criminal prosecution, which is just one of the many oddities associated with this situation (another being the prosecutor bringing both felony and misdemeanor charges for the same offense, typically it's one or the other). If you have specific legal questions, give that podcast a listen. The lawyer involved goes through all the proceedings and the associated responsibilities and expectations from all 3 sides of the situation (the accuser/prosecution, the defendant, and the university).

There are several things that could progress during the season that would alter this scenario: - Plea deal on hearing date in Feb (unlikely unless he's guilty and wants to avoid 50 years of jail time) - Grand jury indictment (he hasn't actually been indicted yet, just issued an arrest warrant based on an affadavit) - Case is dropped (then he wouldn't need the TRO anymore) There is no doubt he's playing Sunday, though, and he'll likely get an ovation from the fans, which will be odd for everyone. In my opinion, he deserves the benefit of the doubt until otherwise shown in court. Just like the accuser deserves the benefit of the doubt to allow the proceedings to proceed until the court process is resolved one way or the other. Believing the accuser doesn't automatically mean condemning the defendant.

The ruling effectively ties the university's decision to the results of the court case, of which the preliminary hearing is in February. They could choose to revise their policy, but to even organize something like that could take months. The Title IX portion is effectively irrelevant, as the court ruled that it did not apply here, so the university has nothing to do on this front. The ruling is just that suspending him without due process and a chance to defend themselves is unfair to Shannon. As a result, TJ Shannon will play immediately, and at the least until the resolution of the court case. If he's found guilty, he'll be dismissed from the team. If he settles, the university can and probably will move to dismiss him from the team. Here's a thorough podcast on the situation and result from today:
-
The Eagles fell apart spectacularly over the last 8 weeks.
-
Is Michigan the worst team in the Big Ten this year? They're now 1-4 in the league with losses to Minnesota, Penn State and Maryland, the three teams I thought were the worst.
-
Well, maybe next year there will be fewer 2nd and 10 draws up the middle.
-
It was because they shot 60% from 3.
-
Pick 9 it is for the Bears.
-
DLine was bad, zone defensive backfield was awful, really missed Johnson today (and he probably made a few mil in a potential resigning today). Offensive playcalling was atrocious and O-line frequently didn't allow a pocket for any real passing game. Need a couple players on both lines, along with DB depth and a FS (Jackson was not good this season). Add a WR, TE, and there are a good 8 holes that needs filing before I'd consider this a playoff quality roster. If you take the big swing on a QB at 1-1 and not trade back for more quantity of picks, they'd best not miss or the franchise is set back another 5 years.
-
Yeah, even from Underwood in the post-game, he said they were expecting Rodgers would struggle if/when guarded by Edey, and it was a hard thing to practice (because they don't have a 7-4 300 lb guy around to provide context). Eventually they found a lineup that worked (5 shooters with Hawkins-Guerrier-Domask-Harmon-Goode), but the lack of defensive rebounding just put them in too big a hole.
-
FG no good, Cards get 4th pick, Chargers 5th pick, likely one of those 2 gets MHJ.
-
If you are the Cardinals head coach, do you hope this FG goes in so you lose 2 draft spots?
-
Cards about 2 minutes from getting the #4 pick if they lose, but they have the ball and are driving, which could bump them to 5th or 6th.
-
Might be 8 depending on results of strength of schedule.
-
If Fields was a good QB, those Packer WRs would be covered.
-
Stevenson has made two drive altering plays, but has been poor in coverage today overall. Keeps losing his man on anything more than 5 yards.
-
Look, it's defensive penetration and good things happened.
-
Two guys looking for someone to block while a Packer lineman comes right up the middle and gets to Fields before the dropback completes.
-
So help me if they call a draw here.
-
Refs had to have a conference to make sure it was OK to call a penalty on the Packers.
-
Maybe the 10th time you call that 2nd down draw it'll gain yards.
-
Any other QB in the league that's a penalty.
-
I guess that counts as the team's first defensive stop?
-
He's not in bounds when he has possession,
-
Another "what a throw by Love" where the receiver was so open I could've thrown a completion.
