The James Paxton story continued to develop on Friday afternoon, as the University of Kentucky filed an 87-page motion in response to Paxton's preemptive lawsuit. The University's terse statement says the following:

James Paxton's scholarship money and status on the team has never been in jeopardy. At no time has a change been made in James' status on the team or his receipt of services available to student-athletes. He was, is and will continue to be a member of the University of Kentucky baseball team.

The statement does not jibe with the affidavit filed by Paxton's original lawyer in the lawsuit -- and being a member of the team is not the same as being allowed to play.
