1. I'm fairly convinced that Merc's leg is broken, considering that they went the extra length of putting in the sound of something hard breaking, both in the hallucination and in the Instant Replay. I think that sound of something hard breaking is meant to convey to us that his leg is broken.

2. While Ozpin and Qrow are likely to take Yang's side, there's still the issue of Ironwood, who is the one in charge of festival security. The Vale council's entire reason for reconsidering who should be in charge of security was that they were worried about whether or not the tournament could be broadcast without a bunch of negative emotions from something crazy like a giant Grimm attack (and you know that's gonna happen).

We know that Ironwood is a very military-minded man who tends to jump to coming down on a situation with an iron fist (haha). So far, from what we've seen of his attitude, he does not play around. His reaction to Qrow goading Winter into a fight was to say "If you were one of my men, I'd have you shot."

Ozpin and Qrow don't have any authority in festival security. Ironwood does. Though, Ozpin still has authority in his academy, so I doubt Yang will be expelled or anything crazy like that, but she's probably not going to be allowed in the colosseum anymore. She might not even be allowed on the fair grounds... which is awkward, since they're on Beacon campus. Soooo... she'd probably have to stick to areas of the campus that the festival isn't taking place in.

The big question is how much authority Ironwood has overall, in these matters. Another big question is if he'll listen to Qrow and Ozpin, considering he hasn't exactly been a fan of either of them as of late.
