Ok I haven’t worked on it yet but I will. I seriously want to have the setup done so people can have them by the Ole Miss game if not sooner.
I want to put Sankey’s face on it. He doesn’t have an NIL deal so I can use his old, ugly Yankee face on it too. Lol

Not just those two players but all players that we screwed when the conferences suddenly moved the goalpost and started adding rules and retroactively enforcing them…

The bigger issue will be any evidence that there was collusion to file the injunction.
It doesn’t matter if LSU advised the players that an injunction would be necessary before they would be put on the roster. LSU did not bring the injunction claim. The only parties at interest were the players.
The suit against the SEC by the players may come down to the same issue as the suit by the SEC against LSU, whether the SEC can set its own rules separate from the NCAA. The SEC is making these moves to declare itself an autonomous and self-governing sports league, not subject to the NCAA. That is what all of this is about.

I think "supplemental to the NCAA" is a better description.
The SEC is trying to fill the gaps in enforcement authority the NCAA has run into with these rogue state court rulings, due to the difference in relationship of the SEC with the member schools, compared to the NCAA and the players/schools.

Which is fine, but these players will absolutely win this case when plenty of other TRO's have been upheld that the SEC has not punished anyone else.
No shot a judge is going to be ok with SEC saying frick you to his ruling while allowing other judges similar or exact rulings to be ok.

The SEC can only engage in enforcement if they win today. Against any school.
The SEC hasn't punished, or officially even tried to punish, LSU.

It sounds like even the threat to do so is probably enough.

The language being used by the SEC suggests otherwise. They are saying that their position is founded on the right of “free association” of the member institutions in the SEC. The term “free association” is the equivalent to a declaration of self-determination. The SEC is pushing a claim of its own independent sovereignty.
If the SEC is successful in this move, it is free of any NCAA regulation.

I don't think they have direct proof of this today. However, if they're allowed to subpoena phone records and other communications they may get that proof.
SEC gets to go fishing based on twitter rumors?

Also I fear that this suit will also be seen as retaliatory LSU action against the SEC and we get thrown back in the fire again
2 players that never played for LSU sue the SEC and this is LSU's fault?
Posted on 9/9/26 at 11:09 am to SlowFlowPro
All the other schools that contacted them will get exposed too.

If the players sue the SEC, then SEC gets full discovery opportunities in the litigation.

Again, if the litigation leads to uncovering evidence of "bad acts" by LSU? Why do you think that wouldn't lead to issues?

SlowFlowPro, can I ask you a question? I would like your opinion.
If, as I suspect, the SEC’s federal suit against LSU is actually seeking a declaration that the SEC member institutions “right of free association” results in self-determination of the SEC to the point that NCAA rules on eligibility do not apply, isn’t the NCAA a necessary party? Can relief be granted without joining the NCAA?

Like I said earlier, I think the SEC is trying to do this to supplement, not supplant, the NCAA. They want to fill in the gaps these state court rulings are creating in NCAA enforcement.

The discovery in this suit could severely damage the program.
Nah, I'm sure there is plenty of behind the scenes dirt on these SEC presidents.

Which is why the SEC would settle before it gets to discovery.
The SEC and NCAA are in a lose/lose situation with this.
We'll soon find out how much of an ego Sankey actually has.

The only dirt they have would be on LSU/Kiffin.
They could also have dirt on other programs that recruited them just the same as LSU but once they picked LSU simply said "We didn't do nothin'.
Posted on 9/9/26 at 11:29 am to SlowFlowPro
There is seriously no dirt to be hard. It was not even against the rules to contact the pro players. That’s why they had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for some 1st amendment association clause.
This might be the biggest non political witch hunt in modern history and more people should be trashing the SEC.

Having two former Bama employees on staff does help with that tremendously too….
