The NCAA lost its stay on Noland and asked the court to hurry instead

The Indiana Court of Appeals denied the NCAA's emergency motion to stay the Monroe Circuit Court injunction that makes Kenny Noland and dozens of other athletes eligible on October 16, in an order by Judge Elizabeth Tavitas with Judges Bradford, Kenworthy and DeBoer concurring. On October 20 the NCAA filed a verified motion to shorten time and for an expedited briefing schedule in the appeal, NCAA v. Daley, 26A-PL-02703, and the players filed an objection on October 22. No ruling on that motion appears on the docket, and no transfer petition to the Indiana Supreme Court has been filed since the court denied an emergency one on October 1. Michigan plays 10th-ranked Houston in an exhibition at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids on Sunday, October 25, at 1 p.m. Eastern, and opens against Oakland at Crisler Center on November 2. At media day on October 22, Mike Boynton Jr. said he expected Roddy Gayle Jr. to start with Elliot Cadeau, Trey McKenney, J.P. Estrella and Moustapha Thiam, with Ricky Liburd, Quinn Costello and Oscar Goodman in the next group, and said Joseph Hartman would miss probably a couple of weeks with a shoulder injury.
