The crowd that crows about college football chaos compelling Congressional intervention will love this one, even if it's not much of a surprise.
Earlier this week, former Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson secured a temporary restraining order allowing him to return to college football despite entering the draft, not being picked, participating in the Browns' and Cowboys' rookie minicamps, and not being signed by either team.
Via Pete Nakos of On3.com, a Texas judge granted the request for extra-extraordinary relief — one that often is presented and decided without the defendant having a chance to be heard. The next step will be a hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction, which would extend the TRO through the resolution of the case.
It's very hard to secure a TRO. Hutson's success suggests that he'll also get a preliminary injunction at the hearing set for August 3.
Hutson's case follows a recent ruling by an Ohio judge granting a preliminary injunction to 24 athletes based on an age-based eligibility model for a fifth year. Hutson has played four years of college football, appearing in 48 games and making 23 starts.
