Well considering each of the 700+ players pays around $11k/year in Union dues, you can do the math but my guess would be long enough to get a ruling.
Even if you were generous and went with 800 players it's still not a large sum of money compared to what Murray Edwards has alone.

This case is a textbook definition of Force Majeure. There's a global pandemic that has muddied the intent of the agreement. Do you think a court will find that the evolving global situation around pandemic control is not disruptive enough to trigger that clause? I disagree entirely if so.
