If you're a Tennessee Vols fan that's planning to attend a "Vol Walk" at the preliminary federal injunction hearing in the lawsuit against the NCAA, you should probably cancel those plans. 

Attorney Tom Mars took to social media on Saturday to address a planned "Vol Walk" ahead of the hearing on February 13 in Greeneville, TN that's gaining traction on social media. 

"I love the enthusiasm of UT fans about the lawsuit filed by the AG (attorney general) against the NCAA," wrote Mars in a tweet. "However, every seasoned trial lawyer in the country would agree that well-intentioned fans staging a 'walk' in Greenville the day of the PI (preliminary injunction) hearing would be a mistake that could backfire badly."

In other words, while the support of Tennessee fans in this matter is greatly appreciated, this is a situation where fans just need to let the lawyers do their job.
