The Luis case is different. He left as a junior with a year of eligibility left. I’m not sure how his situation will be ruled. His was voluntary.


No doubt the facts of his case are different, but the SEC statement still applies to his case.

Do you have a copy of that statement? The only thing that I've seen is that the NCAA is only obeying the current court orders for the specific players covered under active injunctions and TROs, I have not seen anything indicating an NCAA wide pause of the rule.

It’s not an NCAA pause. The statement was the SEC is going to comply with the existing injunctions and other court orders related to eligibility of players. Stated differently, the SEC is not going to implement its own eligibility requirements when there are court orders already in place. This would apply to RJ because there is an existing injunction in place that he is eligible.

Under the new policy adopted by the SEC this week, RJ would be ineligible. The league is now saying that it will comply with existing injunctions against the NCAA without the requirement that RJ name the SEC as a party.

The RJ Luis Jr order does not currently include language regarding the SEC.

Good point. Have not read the Luis order. My assumption is getting an amended Order will not be difficult. It’s the same thing Tony Clayton did in the football case pending in EBR.

Not so fast. It appears that they backed off of the TRO but will still try to fight the permanent injunction.

This is what I thought when the SEC ruling came down. I guess they aren’t worried about any other sport right now. I believe before long this is going to be the same as we are seeing today. Remember WW is our coach and the NCAA and the SEC hates WW

No he isn’t. The SEC backed off when Speaker Johnson and Senator Kennedy told Sankey in no uncertain terms to stop the selective enforcement or PCSA is as good as dead.

This was easily predictable and a reason Sankey is in over his head.

Weren't you one of the figs mockingly telling everyone else Wade wasn't coming back? And now you're an expert on Luis's eligibility? Helluva track record.

If you ARE NOT one of the idiots afflicted with WDS, and didn't do what I described in the first paragraph, I apologize for mistaking you for another poster.
