To support your point, it was brought before both a Louisiana and a Texas (Dallas, I think) judge. Why would he sue unless the NCAA and SEC had ruled against him.

The SEC didn’t clarify or specify the type of contracts - it just says they cannot have signed a contract with a pro team


And you know this because you've read it in the official guidelines, bi-laws, or regulations? Or you're just repeating what has been said here to justify this mess?

College bball player enters nba draft, he cannot go back and play college ball.

Hetson entered nfl draft. He should not be able to go back and play college ball. The end.

So, who should be considered a pro more for competition consideration. A player who signs a contract but never puts a jersey on or practices with team, or a player who actually practices with two seperate teams over the offseason?

I’m not buying that he never signed. I’m pretty sure you have to be under contract to cover liabilities for any medical injuries or other that could occur. It’s more of a camp contract, but I stand corrected if I’m wrong.

Cole Hutson did not sign a professional contract with either the Dallas Cowboys or Cleveland Browns


SEC didn’t define “professional contract” in their rule. That was a mistake by them and will be hard to overcome when and if contested.

From Grok-

“No. The SEC did not specifically define the term “professional contract.”

“It listed three roster bans. One of them was “signed a contract with an NFL (or other professional football league) …”

“It did not define what documents count, what consideration is enough, or whether a minicamp/tryout waiver plus per diem is that contract.”

It's the actual text of the new policy the SEC publicly stated and is using to single out LSU and LSU alone. There are no other new bylaws or rules passed, only the public statement about "signed a contract...with an NFL team"

Exactly. It's not relevant. It was the narrowest possible way that the "policy" could have been worded to villainize Lane Kiffin and LSU in the media.

Just google it. You are mistaken. Participation in mini camps is covered in the NFL players union collective bargaining agreement.

Do you not believe that they are paid a per diem? And that they signed documents agreeing to the per diem? Do you not believe that they sign documents regarding medical coverage if injured?

I bet you do not reply.
