Didn't kiffin legit say he didnt roster the players today due to looming threats and uncertain consequences?

He’s never said anything other than he will continue to follow SEC guidance. The courts will do their thing but ultimately he’s never once said he’s going to openly challenge the SEC by playing someone in question. He’s never wavered from that position.

Id love to see emails etc on how the SEC came up with the line between texas and USCe players and LSUs players NFL experience.

Correct. Im referencing the fact that those players won their injunction... and this is still the outcome... and

Lane didnt say anything else other than he didnt roster them to prevent consequences to the program (from the SEC, who hasn't corrected that )

Exactly, but they lie about Kiffin left and right. This stuff is so insane to me. He didn't do anything wrong whatsoever. Not even close. Players were fighting for eligibility just like many others.

If it gets dismissed, the SEC may find itself in a little trouble. The only real threat they held in their back pocket would be gone and they’re going to leave their asses wide open to repeated state court challenges.

I’m sure he’ll address it next week but he’s held the spots open for them. I never thought they’d be rostered until there was zero question about them being eligible.

The NCAA affiliated media that has been wrong about everything at every turn will of course never admit it… but I am pretty confident that the SEC might be far more screwed if the lawsuit doesn’t get dropped.

Harris and Wright would have a great case if they file against the SEC.

There are I think 3 big issues with their case

1. It’s premature. LSU hasn’t done anything actually wrong at this point.

2. They’re trying to frame a pure contract dispute as a 1st amendment freedom of association case and it’s laughable. The government can’t force them to keep LSU in the conference but they are voluntarily associating with LSU. The 1st doesn’t give them a freedom from bad behavior of people they choose to associate with.

3. the federal court is going to tell them that if they have an issue with the LA injunction the proper recourse is to appeal it or win at trial.

Now if we roster the players, I could see them brining maybe a cross claim in Louisiana or just voting penalties that we would then challenge.

The lawsuit is about Kiffin and LSU coercing kids to sue. It’s different than the eligibility TRO.

Don’t fool yourself. They specifically crafted the language to only penalize LSU.

The minicamp vs training camp argument is total BS.

If you never made an NFL roster you are not an NFL player.

Has there ever been a single shred of evidence to support this?

which is why Ross should be 100 percent banned from any event on campus. He refuses to report truthful accurate things.

This is all true. They have administrative recourse available to them already.

But even that is weak. These players in this class were already suing for eligibility. They would still have to be granted eligibility. It would still have to clear and they would still have to be approved.

That is so ridiculously weak. And the players themselves have stated on the record other SEC schools recruited them. It’s so ridiculous when hundreds of athletes were fighting for eligibility.
