Right how does this happen to screw LSU? Court holds up ruling saying that SEC can’t overrun the court ruling. LSU and some other schools play this average college players who couldn’t make an NFL roster… and then somehow the SEC and NCAA punish us for it? When it was ruled to be within the rules laid out by the NCAA? I don’t get what the conferences are trying to accomplish? Why is everyone against bring back players who tried out for NFL teams when the rules allow it?

These aren’t exactly top tier guys. It’s players who missed rosters in the NFL and it’s literally the only year it would happen.

So what is the uproar and why are teams saying not to do it? Certainly that TE and DL aren’t that big of difference makers

Right. No one has discussed the timeline of all this. Players have already been practicing.

No idea as to how fast it’ll happen, thats legal minutia. I would bet against all hell breaking loose.

What difference does it make? Their class got screwed and won eligibility. It's really not that deep. I don't understand the fake outrage. They didn't even make a roster. They didn't think they had a choice.

All of this bullshite over a couple of guys who only had one option to continue their football careers, that weren’t good enough to even get drafted.


The outrage is so fake. Otherwise they would stop singling out LSU so much. It's like 2 or 3 guys?

I think it's highly hypocritical for a commissioner to use the words, "blur the lines", at this particular time for this particular incident. The NCAA screwed up and created this current mess. If this was the same cfb that used to play by the rules, (1. before student athletes became professional players, 2. before free agency. 3. before teams allowing to win NC's with 24- and 25-year-old players competing against 18- and 19-year-olds. 4. before athletes playing 6, 7, and 8 years of cfb), then do what you have to do oblige by the rules, even though it was YOUR MISTAKE. Don't act like now the "lines are blurred", all of a sudden while turning a blind eye to what really destroyed cfb.

I blame NIL.

They can’t make it pro so they want to come back for NIL $$$

They are already professional- they get paid NIL to play football.

I never wanted Texas and OU to join the league. I wanted them to remain in the Big 12. I really didn't think it was a majority that wanted it to happen.

No it’s not.
Bama played a guy who played in the g league for three years.

This is nothing more or less than a couple of schools going rogue talking to the media and Ross Dellenger being a bought stooge.

cannot understand the idea that “everyone else is doing it too.” No they aren’t. I thought that after nfl cut day a handful of other teams would sign bounce back players but they didn’t.


Or maybe other schools are waiting to see how judge rules on Thursday.

What they need to do is go back to the written records and recordings of the decision to not allow 2022 players the extra year. Herd up all those who spoke against letting 2022 players play, and take them to that fishing hole Coach Orgeron used to talk about. Their IQ is not high enough to be breathing our air.

I do not think anyone in a position of power expects LSU to be expelled. It is just fun fodder for the folks on TD and X to throw around.
