There is appeal bond with the court.

Al the court has to do is release it.

From Investopedia:

• An appeal bond, or supersedeas bond, is a payment that a court requires from an appellant who is awaiting the appeal of a judgment.
• The amount of money required for the bond is often the actual judgment plus interest and is held while the appeal is being debated.
• The appeal bond is required as a sign of good faith that the judgment will be paid if the appellant loses, and to protect the winning party should the losing party go bankrupt during the appeals process.
• The appeal bond is also used to limit frivolous attempts at an appeal, as the appellant still has to pay the judgment upfront in the form of a bond, and may end up paying more ultimately due to interest, fees, lawyers, etc.

So it looks like Oberlin has already parted with the money, if I'm reading this right. The only issue is will Zurich American fork over the dough.
