Mike Leach v. Texas Tech: Here's the Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and Injunction

I don't talk about law very often, but this is pretty interesting. Mike Leach has decided to play hard ball (good for him IMHO) against Texas Tech over his current problem...being suspended right before a bowl game. An attorney that I work with went to Tech for both undergrad and law school and needless to say, he lives and breathes Tech...he had insight about this whole scoop before it came out in the media.

Leach has hired a local Lubbock attorney and they have filed for a Temporary Restraining Order and Temporary Injunction and it is currently being heard in court this morning. After reading the motion and the attached exhibits (one of which is Leach's employment contract) it looks like Tech might be in some trouble. They have laid the grounds for a Breach of Contract suit that will no doubt follow soon. Here are the 4 pages of the motion, without the exhibits.Good luck Leach!

***Update***

While drafting this post, it was announced that Tech fired Leach...wow. The attorney I work with just announced that he is through with Tech because of this! I wonder how many other gung-ho alumns are pissed off about this?
