Does LSU have a case for Damages against the SEC

I think they do, I would sue the ever loving frick out of them even if it didn't go anywhere.

Maybe? I guess we’ll find out after Saturday night and we see how many people tune in to watch LSU.

I venture a guess that it’s going to be a lot.

I’m reposting a comment I made on another thread. I’m no expert but . . .

I really don’t get what the SEC is doing. It doesn’t need a federal court to declare it can enforce its own rules. It is asking for a TRO to block LSU from rostering the players but to qualify for that TRO it would have to show it would suffer irreparable harm without it. I see no way they could show that - it has the power to sanction LSU for rules violations. So then why file? If I were LSU, I’d be looking to assert a RICO claim or defamation claim or both against the SEC and non-LSU members of the SEC for conspiring to damage the LSU brand through their actions. The timing of the federal suit is extremely suspect to me. And the commissioner’s testimony yesterday has had to cause some severe heartburn back at the office

I'm generally not one for taking this type of action, but I do believe it is justified here. They (imo) have intentionally tried to damage LSU's Brand. Maybe it is me being vindictive here, but I think the power is with LSU now. Sankey may be too dumb to understand his performance yesterday, but surely some of the SEC's Legal staff realizes that there is that potential. I'd like to know what the judge was alluding to when he said he did see some potential damages. I'd have to think it was this...from a common sense perspective. I'd expect the SEC to drop this with quickness. However, should we let them? It may be the way to go is to drop it all and let the players play, but as vindictive as that pos Sankey is, I'm not sure.

Exactly my thinking here. I believe LSU is in the position of power.

I think LSU has more of a case against the SEC than the SEC has against LSU

What about all the alum? Not saying this is class action noteworthy, however I live in Florida and I am experiencing the negativity. We are the school now known as cheaters. This has impact on Alums opportunities because we are associated with the Brand that the SEC has defamed.

As a recruiting tool this is pretty big credibility with future players about the lengths the university will go to in order to support their players.

Cooler heads need to prevail and all 16 institutions need a come to Jesus moment and just stop all the BS.

Either the class of 2022 is eligible or they aren't. That needs to be the agreement.

Whether a guy got drafted, participated in minicamp, went through training camp, played in preseason games.... just toss all the crap aside.

I do not think they should play. But it isn't my decision.
