In what could be quite the interesting week next fall leading up to the Brawl in Missoula, you might just have a seven-person jury trial involving Griz Athletics and staffers on Nov. 13 at the Russell Smith Federal Courthouse in Missoula, according to court documents obtained by MTN Sports. Haslam could be quite busy if still on the playoff selection committee that week as well next fall.

Elizabeth Kaleva definitely seems like someone Willie Mack Garza would want on defense! For all you attorney's (armchair or real) how bad is this going to be next fall for the University? Will it settle beforehand and who comes out on top?

"He did not fire male coaches when their players entered the transfer portal in equal and greater numbers. When questioned, Haslam claimed Schweyen’s team culture was horrible.
