re: Attorney for players once bound for LSU plans legal action against SEC, Greg Sankey

Reminder:
Former Alabama standout Charles Bediako, who entered the 2023 NBA draft and signed a two-way contract with the San Antonio Spurs that year, has been granted a temporary restraining order to return to the Crimson Tide and college basketball immediately, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Bediako, who went undrafted and never appeared in an NBA game after he played on two NCAA tournament teams at Alabama in 2021-22 and 2022-23, had sued the NCAA a day earlier after it denied the school's appeal to allow him to return to college basketball.
The judge's monumental ruling came hours after NCAA president Charlie Baker reiterated that Bediako and other players who've signed NBA contracts would not be granted eligibility to play college basketball.
The case could potentially reshape the sport in a turbulent time. While the NCAA has recently cleared international players with professional experience and G League players, those athletes had not previously played college basketball. This is the first time a player who entered an NBA draft and signed an NBA contract after playing college basketball has been given the chance to return to Division I basketball.

Collusion is nothing compared to antitrust, civil rico, and intentional interference with contract and not a defense to that either.
I am not a lawyer and did not sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I don't see anything remotely pointing to "collusion" against the SEC by LSU, Kiffin, et al. So what is the real legal reason (if any) behind the SEC's lawsuit?

I agree 100%. And whoever is talking about concerns of something LSU has done wrong in the civil discovery and LSU should pay the players in the players lawsuit is insane and must be a bankruptcy lawyer or something.
The risk is all with the SEC and Sankey.
I am glad to send you a copy of proposed discovery is you don’t get that

You'd risk LSU missing out on a chance for a title this year so that these players could be paid by the SEC down the road?
I don't like that trade off

quote:Given Plowman's history, and her position as president of the SEC's Executive Committee, it is increasingly evident she's been the the motivating force behind this bullshite. All while the bitch's own FB coach suggested throwing golf balls and mustard bottles at LSU players and coaches when they come to Knoxville on November 21st.

Alabama has SEC home office exclusions from these pesky rules.
