They really haven’t won until Oberlin pays up. I won’t really be surprised if they just don’t pay.
Oberlin posted a bond. The bonding company pays if they don’t.
Oberlin will pay. It’s checkmate. There isn’t really a viable route into Federal Court except bankruptcy, and that would cause ten times more problems in this case than it would solve, and would only delay payment but not avoid it. Deadbeat individuals might hide assets or move to a different state, large institutions with fixed assets do not have those options. Their bank accounts are open to attachment, their receipts are vulnerable to garnishment, and their real estate and personal property are subject to liens.
