Everything I have seen said the show is live. That was one of the strangest segments I’ve seen on ESPN. They spent 10 minutes talking about it, completely oblivious to this morning’s news.

Exactly! And, they are talking like LSU is the only school that will have former pro players.

Let’s not act like former professionals haven’t already been rostered in the SEC in other sports.

Alabama literally played a former professional in 5 basketball games last season and Texas A&M has had a former professional on their roster for months.

Stop acting dumb

Alabama player was no longer allowed to play. That’s kind of the point I’m getting at.

They were crying about the poor players at the end of the rosters that will be cut to bring in these 5 for 5 “pro” players.

LSU has the roster space and no one will be getting cut.

He was still rostered and played, which is the point I’m getting at.

This isn’t the first time it’s happened and the only reason it is happening is the SEC implementing their 5 for 5 rules but trying to exclude the 2022 members who though their eligibility had been exhausted.

Like I said, stop acting dumb.

Your point is stupid. Who cares about “right now”. Rosters aren’t finalized until next Friday.

More than 10 SEC teams and most serious CFB programs are adding players after this ruling.

ESPN & Thamel are exactly like the mainstream media. They all run w/ the same biased stories.
