That's what should happen. I mean the SEC Sankey and all the other conferences just need to fall on the sword. They made a huge mistake and that's the easiest thing to do. We're talking one year and we're not talking about first round draft picks. We're not talking about trying to get Fernando to come back and play a quarterback at any of these schools. I mean just admit your wrong. Let it Go. You're not talk about first round draft picks. We talking about kids that were cut from NFL rosters are waived. They did not make NFL teams. I mean this is asinine

i think they are going to do it and they can save face too.

Once again this is just for a small amount of kids right? Just the ones that didn’t get to take advantage of the 5 in 5? So it will only impact this year?

I don’t get why people are all up in arms over this shite. It is just giving them the choice they didn’t get 4 months ago. It’s a non issue going forward. Just let it be

Sankey isn’t going to crawfish when his member Presidents voted 15-0, he has all the cover he needs to pursue.

Are the commissioners prepared to go to court over this? We’ll see.

I dont think so for a couple of reason. too much trouble and they will probably lose. The truth is these kids got screwed due to the NCAA's incompetency. Its not even on the conferences. Also can give the conferences another reason to break away from the NCAA which is what they want to do anyways.

Everything that has happened was very predictable. Nothing this far should surprise him or the other conferences to pivot.

I laughed yesterday when the SEC rule came out. I said to myself give it 24 hrs.

I dont care one way or another. It is just that the SEC does not have anti-trust exemption or collective bargaining like the pros have.

41 athletes filed a suit and were successful in Dallas. The judge's order in the Dallas case is the first case to specifically block a conference from creating rules that could punish schools in their league for signing any of the plaintiffs. The order specifically says that the NCAA, SEC and Sankey cannot block the players' return based on transfer portal rules or their time on a pro roster. It also states that if any of those groups want to prohibit any of the plaintiffs for a different reason, they would need to come to court and argue their case in front of the judge. Most were athletes outside the SEC.

As of now the SEC’s rule is null and Void.

No one prior to the freshman class of 2023 get to take advantage of it. You think someone who exhausted their eligibility in 2025 isn’t weighing their options?

I’m unclear on how the ruling impacts current redshirt seniors.

You are badly missing the point. This is the NCAA, breaking a rule and getting a conference to enforce a rule that a judge said was not unenforceable..

If you don’t like NIL and all that that’s one thing. But this case is a clear win for the players that are affected.

That ship has sailed. It had its time and place in the history of the sport, but Justice Kavanaugh very eloquently put it, "Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate," he wrote. "And under ordinary principles of antitrust law, it is not evident why college sports should be any different."

Not paying players for work in a for-profit sport is the most un-American concept still alive today.

This isn't about 4 players. It's much larger than that.

You can wish all you want but there is no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

NIL is settled as a principal. Revenue sharing with the college athletes is also settled.

The only way to creating some semblance of order is legislation granting some limited form of anti-trust for college sports governance.

The colleges and boosters themselves highjacked NIL and perverted it into "collectives" which are basically "pay for play".

Correct, but the proposed punishment to its schools or coaches that break the rule applies.

I thought I read that with them being added to the TRO, any punishment they’d try to administer to a school would have to be defended in court.

It can’t be sort of null and void, it either is or isn’t.
