Chancellor Chris Heagerty said he would not give preferential treatment to University of Tennessee (UT) quarterback Joey Aguilar during a preliminary injunction hearing at Knox County Chancery Court on Feb. 13. According to Knox News, Heagerty questioned Aguilar’s attorney on each point of the argument throughout the two-hour hearing as reporters watched closely. Aguilar won a short-term injunction for 15 days on Feb. 4. Heagerty said he will issue a ruling in “very short order.” If the injunction is granted, Aguilar would remain eligible and stay as UT's starting quarterback.
