Skankey saw the writing on the wall. The payouts from the class action lawsuits were going to be ridiculous.

I’m shocked and alarmed he let it get this far. They were on a one way road to a guaranteed courtwhooping

Do the moral and right thing. The players are eligible per the court. They want LSU and we can use them.

SEC even acts ugly or disrespectful to LSU , threaten a winnable suit over disadvantage to LSU following the various courts orders.

Move on.

Dillinger is wrong. The SEC is already under a show-cause order in the Louisiana case and has to explain to the judge why they violated the initial TRO by implementing rules directly against it after the TRO had been issued. If these players get the injunction, they will be 100% protected from every angle of retribution by the SEC and Sankey.

But will SEC officials have marching orders to “unofficially” penalize the teams that sign them?

If the SEC wants to continue to expose itself to potential massive legal penalties, that’s exactly what they’ll do

I’ve been explaining this to melty Ole Miss fans all week on X. Feel vindicated- not that they will stop melting. It is a top five LSU related melt in the last quarter century.

The SEC does still have some leverage. If LSU plays them under an injunction and that injunction is later reversed, the NCAA could try to use its Rule of Restitution to vacate wins. The SEC could also attempt its new penalties, but suspending Kiffin for half a season and taking 50% of LSU’s football budget after LSU followed a court order would trigger another major lawsuit.


I thought of that "record only" penalty also but once again, the ONLY time I can remember of wins being vacated are in extreme cases involving criminal acts (see Joe Paterno) or players were AT THE TIME they played found to be ineligible (see Vadal Alexander). The SEC will not be able to vacate wins when these players were ELIGIBLE under the rules/law at the time. Alexander did not meet that criteria for example.

My prediction: these particular players eventually receive a one year exception because this is a unique transition year mess. After that, the NCAA and conferences will adopt a firm rule preventing future NFL to college returns.


I do agree with this and have said so

No dude, the law is what the judge dishes out. Sec can't legally do anything, and specifically punish programs/coaches....and damn sure can't do it retroactively. Hopefully you've figured that out by now while throwing your insults.

It is; never said anything different.

Unless a court overturns the TRO. Rarely happens, but it can. Won't matter if the judge ultimately issues a permanent injunction. Which is the preferred outcome. None of that stops me from having my own little catastrophe syndrome regarding the courts.

If you think anything I did was throwing out an insult, you haven't spent much time on this board. The worst I did was use the same phrasing you used when first responding to me.

What about the Mississippi judge the granted Chambliss his 6th year to play because of a sore throat? Don't be a little bitch about the same state judge. If you were intelligent, you'd be blaming the NCAA for all of this. If they gave a blanket judgement to begin with, we wouldn't where we are. No worries from Lane and the Tigers as it's good to be the Villain. By tomorrow you can add Jack Pyburn from Tampa Bay on LSU's team.

Ross Dellenger and Skankey 2 no nut bitches.

Excellent use of that GIF.

Upon further review(no, I am not Moscona), that can only happen if the TRO is expressly overturned by another court, which seldom happens.

I did see that the NCAA is trying to do something like that (use the rule of restitution) in the Louis Moore case in Texas. Moore played for Indian last season under a preliminary injunction, then filed a notice of nonsuit after the season was over, effectively dropping the suit. It looks like the person in the article doesn't think they will end up winning, but I may be reading that wrong.

Predictable but maybe they feel like they had to make a stand for appearance sake


I was pondering yesterday if the big issue is going forward to prevent this happening every year. Players play 4, go to NFL draft, go undrafted, sign UDFA, get cut, come back for 5th yr...

It is not hard to see the 2022 class getting left out or downright screwed depending on your feelings about it but this going on in perpetuity is not what I imagined. I feel it is fair that once you declare 3rd or 4th yr you are done.
