Clayton told The Advocate on Tuesday night that he and the players’ legal team plan to pursue legal action against Sankey, the SEC and the NCAA — and not LSU — after they essentially forced the school to forgo rostering his clients, Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavaian Harris.

Clayton believes strongly that the conference has devalued his clients’ worth in NIL money.

“And what I mean by devalue (is)… they completely destroyed the character of these players, the credibility of these players,” Clayton said, “and the SEC has been a colossal failure to college sports by singling out these young athletes, and putting a scarlet letter around the neck of each and every one of them.”

The only dirt they have would be on LSU/Kiffin.

The discovery in this suit could severely damage the program.

Bro you’re supposed to only ask questions too which you spray know the answer.

You have zero knowledge of who else talked to Wright or Harris.

Yes. And this can and should be portrayed as a civil rights

The bigger issue will be any evidence that there was collusion to file the injunction. Since it was filed in LA state court, I doubt South Carolina was involved in that plan

To support what legal theory? Even if Kiffin said "I think you should sue to assert your legal rights," how would that be relevant to any cause of action?

It doesn't matter, unless Kiffin has evidence of other coaches contacting them as well, and even then "well they did it too!" isn't a legal defense.

He's the only one being targeted unfortunately.

It would be relevant to potential future SEC/NCAA punishment

I would imagine the SEC wouldnt withold those cards if they had direct proof because if they really hated Kiffen that bad they'd just expel HIM from the league as fast as they could.

It was one of 60 pretty similar lawsuits from all over the country. Any attempt to isolate LSU or Louisiana falls apart under the slightest bit of scrutiny.
