"DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION?" Dean Buckley stood behind the podium as he spoke to the board. The Ducks were stood on the right whilst the Varsity team were stood on the left, wanting to know about the decision. There was murmuring quietly between the old prepsters but the decision was made, no one made the motion to reconsider, "I'm sorry, Coach, but unless there is a... motion from a board member and a second, the decision must stand."
Orion sighed, stepping away, "You leave us no choice but to bring in our attorney." Everyone turned to the doors as they opened to reveal Gordon Bombay, Jules smirked and leant into Averman.
"Captain Blood is back." He attempted not to snicker, but it was a little hard because of how Bombay looked in his little fancy getup.
"Dean Buckley, members of the board. As counsel for Coach Orion...and the freshman hockey team." They all beamed as their former Coach passed them, "I'm here today to set forth your legal options, so that you may make the best possible decision for all parties concerned."
Buckley pressed his lips together, "Mr. Bombay, this isn't a legal proceeding."
"Not yet, but I can assure you that it will be." He was so calm, staring at the headmaster with a slight nod, "Do you mind?" Bombay didn't give Buckley a chance to say no as he handed him his briefcase and pulled out the scholarship file, "These scholarships; an offer, became a binding contract upon the signatures of the recipients and acceptance by the Ducks. They cannot be voided except for cause which, I guarantee you, you have none. Should you decide the pursue their cancellation, I will slap you with an injunction. I will tie this matter up in court for years, until long after these kids have gone left college, and I will collect damages. I will win. Because I am very, very good."
Jules smirked, proud of their Coach, "You know why I'm so good? Because I had a good education. You gave it to me, and you're gonna give it to these kids. Now some of you may be snobbish enough to believe that these Ducks don't belong at Eden Hall. Let me tell you, you are dead wrong. These are remarkable people. You give them their full shot, and I promise you they will succeed, not only on the ice, but in the classrooms as well. These people are my friends, and I know what they can do. Accordingly, I demand that you reinstate their scholarships for their benefit... and for your own."
Orion and Bombay shook hands as the Ducks glanced between the board members, waiting for a response, all having resorted hope.
"I move that the scholarships be reinstated." The first board member spoke up, sighing heavily as she did so.
