Yup.
I don't claim to understand all of the legal wrangling going on, but it seems unlikely that there will be an injunction (and if it is, it will be after schedules come out). So, short of the Rhode Island judge somehow sending out state troopers to stop the team from playing their Big 12 scheduled games, I don't see how they can stop WVU from leaving.
Now, what WVU will have to pay in compensation is another story altogether. Hopefully, our AD and lawyers know what they are doing.
