The SEC has chosen to stand in the NCAAs place here as the arbiter of who is eligible. So they’re going to get sued like the NCAA has been for the past 7 years.
I guess the argument the SEC would offer is that they aren't a monopoly. LSU is free to play elsewhere.
I don't know how much rope that allows, as they have actively gutted other conferences and colluded with the Big Ten to expand the players, notably without player involvement or compensation for more games.
I don't see what is really to gain other than grasping for last years of a dead system. It seems to me the presidents and conference leaders hope to drag the gravy train out until it is no longer their problem.

There was none until two weeks ago and that’s the real smoking gun against the SEC.
There’s a ton of previous statements and policies that singled out hiring an agent, declaring for the draft and going through the draft process and rookie camp tryout as beginning your professional career.
The SEC and the broader CFB world now taking this position that actually we all always knew that signing a preseason contract was the real bright line and going through the draft process is fine is fricking bullshite.
The line is arbitrary and could just as easily be rookie minicamp or could just as easily be making a regular season roster. Could even be playing in a preseason game and Harris/Wright wouldn’t be captured.
Understand the line has to be drawn somewhere, and once it was drawn we have obeyed. But acting like the bright line has always been understood to be exactly what separates Wright and Harris from all these other 5 for 5 players is horseshite. The SEC and other power brokers saw the opportunity to draw a distinction with them and make a stand.

Then why didn't the SEC make a move to clarify the definition after Charles Bediako played 5 SEC games in January/February.
It appears this was clearly a learning experience for the league in a lesser sport with a situation where the impact was minimal, and that is exactly why they stepped in with a similar scenario occurring in their real league.
People keep bringing this up as some form of "gotcha" when it is as easily a learning experience for the SEC that led to being more proactive in similar situations.

Clayton is usually right, and he's almost spot on here. The one issue I have is that from what I've seen, Sankey personally has done this, persued these players, and should be sued personally as well for his crimes.

But they haven't been proactive at all. This is completely reactionary. When players sued for the 5th year of eligibility, the SEC did/said nothing. When players were added to rosters after participating in mini-camps, the SEC did/said nothing.
Hell, Dae'Quan Wright said he was trying to return to college before he was even waived by Cleveland and the SEC did/said nothing. They didn't take any action against anything until the TRO was issued in Louisiana.

It's kind of amazing what bullshite you can convince yourself of.

You and I clearly have a different definition of "proactive."

People use hindsight bias to demand perfection of parties in the past to then create hypocrisy scenarios in the present to justify cognitive dissonance.
I'm not going to derail this thread with examples, but if you think about it, I imagine you'll find plenty of examples of people using this exact same paradigm in ways you laugh at.

Once you quit that crack pipe, please explain why you actually believe that.

6 months ago, a college team recruiting players in NFL training camps to come back to college would be an absurd scenario to consider.
We can't expect the SEC to anticipate every absurd scenario and act proactively to thwart it.

and thats why LSU added Anding& Reliford to the roster
And now Sankey/the SEC will go after Kiffin/LSU for that.
“You added those players so that Harris/Wright would have cause to sue us!!!”
It’s like someone posted yesterday: it’s all so absurdly similar to a Dean Worner vs Delta House situation. I’m sure Sankey has had us on Double Secret Probation since we hired Lane and TGeneral.
Posted on 9/9/26 at 9:11 am to SlowFlowPro
Oh and another thing…the SEC’s words & actions also prove collusion….you don’t want to talk about that though do you!

Because the professional status is clearly a bright line for them.
There is no such issue with Chambliss.
The SEC would get gangbanged in court trying to prove these 2 guys are professionals vs all these other players that have been playing for years.
The SEC is 100% screwed if they give LSU reason to pursue this

LSU paying the players to let this be is the rational move for LSU, to avoid re-igniting the fight with the SEC.
