Just to update the situation, Cheyenne won the game last night (Cheyenne def. Centennial, 28-6) that the TRO allowed them to play. They now advance to the regional final.
The NIAA has appealed the TRO and if they eventually win, all wins, titles, etc. will be stripped from this team.
Of course, I wonder what compensation would be owed to the teams they defeat, such as Centennial, before this legal issue is finally decided. Can they sue for damages because they didn't make the regional final and their players were not seen by the college scouts attending that game?
It is a mess.
PS The AP wrote a very matter of fact article that was printed in the Reno paper regarding the TRO being granted. This article was quite objective and was nothing like the one in the Vegas paper. If I can find an on-line copy, I'll post it. I'm just not going to type it all in.
