So the judge barred the the NJ High Schoool Assoc. from disqualifying him and he barred the school from suspending him based on their disciplinary policy in their handbook? I was under the impression that this was only dealing with the Assoc. and the school was a separate issue although they supported NJHSAA.

The school was named as a defendant, so yes all defendants were barred. See point 3.

That would be fine if there were any doubt that Knox was involved in fighting. There's not 

The judge's ruling is separate from criminal proceedings.

Seems like, to the judge, it would depend on the cops account of the actions.

Doubtful.  There are two separate issues being dealt with:

1.  Alleged criminal violations by Anthony Knox, Jr., which are related to whether Anthony committed a crime.

2.  Administrative/civil proceedings related to high school eligibility which are related to whether Anthony violated any standing administrative rule and/or whether the administrative body violated his rights in some way by disqualifying him.

 

There could eventually be a third if anybody sues the Knoxes.

 

The only current ruling we have is related to the second issue, and is focused on the alleged violation of his rights and their own rules, which the NJSIAA disputes.

Law is so F..d up. It never matters what really happened, just what rules can be ruled on.

Man the Cornell lawyers are always one step ahead

If the school or state governing body really wanted him out, then they could have waited until the day before the next qualifier to announce the suspension, so a lawyer and judge would not have had time to appeal and get the suspension overturned or delayed.  Guessing they may have been too scared of potential litigation to do that?

Temple and Rutgers law degrees, actually.  I think the Judge got his degrees from University of Dayton.

Nice precedence to set that if you are suspended for violating the fighting/violence code of conduct at your school, you can take it to court and they will overturn the school's decision that the student and parents signed off on in the student handbook.

I don't think there is an Ivy League policy of assault charges.  Cornell, maybe.  I think he is planning to "greyshirt," so that could factor in. 

(I have personally seen students have their admissions to less competitive institutions revoked for lesser things.  I now Mike Grey has spoke, but he is not in admissions and that was before charges were filed.  The kid may end up fine or they could say "admission based on good behavior over gap year" or any number of things.)

There were a LOT of kids who were having admissions revoked for stupid old social media posts.

I don't want to get off topic here, but...that is SUPPOSED to be what College is for. To grow, think, become open minded.

A violent conviction is something different.
