RJ Luis

while the SEC wages federal war.

The iron is hot and getting hotter to disregard anything Stankey Sankey says or thinks.

He’s stepping down or is about to get kicked out of the conference.

Typical boomer grasping on to control of his wannabe dictatorship.

Total Preseason Totals: 3 games, 8 minutes played, 6 points, 3-of-4 field goals (75.0% FG), 4 total rebounds, and 3 turnovers

I guess he did I never really looked into his preseason game, I thought he was hurt the whole time as well..

Why is Robbie Avila returning to TCU for a 5th year after NBA Summer League a total non-story

---

Because, just like Dent and Clark, he did not sign an NBA contract. The NCAA previously established that playing in Summer League did not make you ineligible; signing an NBA contract (Two-Way or Exhibit 10) did.

The conversation around Luis should focus on Euro Pros who came over and gained eligibility, not 5th-year SRs who didn't sign contracts. For example, Dessert has made way more money playing pro ball in Europe than Luis made. Under the NCAA's rationale, if Luis is ineligible, then players like Dessert should also be ineligible. (Not picking on LSU by singling out Dessert, but he is an example that everyone on this board understands)

I saw he logged minutes in 2 preseason games. Like, very minimal but I did see that when everything was going down. Never played in g league cause of injury but supposedly got some minutes in 2 preseason

Rj Luis case

Why is Robbie Avila returning to TCU ...

---

The only relevant case is Charles Bediaku. His circumstances were virtually identical to Luis's. The SEC's response was completely different. Luis's singular hope is that a judge/venue (chosen by the SEC because of her presumed favorability) will call to question the capricious nature of the SEC's revised position in this instance.

The SEC is asserting a First Amendment right of "expressive association." Sankey et al argue that the SEC should not be forced to associate its conference, championships, reputation and brand with LSU's decision to roster Luis. They further call to question LSU's "institutional control" based on a willingness to roster Luis. But they made no such claim against Alabama last year.

They claim that the SEC professionalism rules are longstanding, though they only arose in August, AFTER (and in contempt of) a state court ruling. They attempt to sidestep that fact by framing the completely new rule as simply reaffirming longstanding rules. Again, if the rule was "longstanding," why was zero action taken last year?

Axon could decide this Monday.
But she won't.
She could decide it on Nov 18th.
But she won't.

She could dismiss the SEC's First Amendment claims based on above inconsistencies.
But she won't.

She could expedite her future findings.
But she won't.

If she does not dismiss the SEC's First Amendment claim next week, it will likely take months (or longer) to resolve. The SEC would retain potential to harm LSU in the interim for playing Luis. So Luis is screwed.

If Chambliss can play, then fricking play RJ.

I know you baws lump Chambliss into the same category as RJ Luis, but the two cases are much different. Chambliss is the same as the Pavia case. I am not advocating for either case, but neither left school to enter a draft. That is the differentiating factor between the cases.

Every case in the world is different from every other case. The SEC and the NCAA said Chambliss is ineligible to play football this year, and he's playing. So I guess my point is, it doesn't matter what the reason is, you just do it because if the rules don't exist for some teams, then they shouldn't exist for any teams.
