The chances of this getting tossed today are still very low, but they aren’t zero
Our company attorney said he expects the TRO to be granted but another hearing will be had regarding a permanent injunction and appeal, etc. and said that is when it will be thrown out. There is precedence to grant TRO's even with no merit to the case. Also stated that it is very likely parts of the lawsuit get thrown out today but still expects the TRO to be granted against the people of LSU but there is still a good chance it gets thrown out if the judge remains completely impartial but didn't feel confident based upon the precedence to grant TROs even with poor merit to the case.

If ultimately the judge rules only that the SEC has the authority to enforce its rules
How could the judge rule any other way? I'm trying to understand why this even needs to be litigated.

I can't believe at 11:35 CST on September 9 some LSU fans still think the SEC may vote to kick out LSU
If the SEC had left that portion on the cutting room floor, no one would be talking about it.

I think the point is that they COULD
The bylaws allow for this to happen with no real rules being broken. Just need some salty school presidents

The state court TRO prevents the SEC from enforcing its rules.

Yeah I don’t know if other schools realize the slippery slope that expulsion unlocks as an enforcement option if it has no guard rails tied to any sort of procedural protections or independent fact finder.
It’s like attempting to prosecute politicians once they leave office and the other side gets power. It’s hard to put that genie back in the bottle once you uncork it.

They don't need evidence. The only argument is whether a group of school can collude to stifle competition. If the SEC votes LSU out, LSU will file suit claiming antitrust violations. Kennedy, on the judiciary committee, will call for hearings. The Protect College Sports Act would be in jeopardy.

I think that is inherent in the term “journalist”.

Is Louisiana even appearing? Or no representation?

IF it weren't for him the and his dubious contract/negotiating 'skills'...the SEC would have a TV contract at LEAST as lucrative as the BIG10...oh that's right, he and his moron co-horts in the SEC office COMPLETELY screwed up...WHY were ther no repurcussions ????

Without any evidence of that, they truly have nothing other than Kiffin keeping two roster spots open pending court decisions. He is not legally wrong there, obviously. And he didn't roster the players, so the SEC has nothing there as well. They might not have liked his approach, but unless they have concrete evidence that he was proactive in encouraging players to sue the NCAA (which it seems they don't), this whole thing is laughable and a witch hunt.

do you think that's dubious?
I do, but I am definitely no lawyer. My view is that when the governing body of college sports changes a rule that opens a loop hole, who is in charge of eligibility? The NCAA or the SEC? Can the SEC have a different set of rules regarding eligibility than the NCAA when the NCAA is supposed to be the governing body?
Honestly, I have no idea!
If the SEC wanted to hamstring themselves in an effort to have more strict participation rules, then I guess that's legal, but would it not negatively affect competition and likely limit available dollars in the revenue sharing? Is that any type of legal conflict of interest?
What if every other conference/independent allowed players with eligibility remaining who miss NFL rosters to return to one of their teams?
LSU was exploiting this possibility, and the SEC is acting like the ultimate authority. Not sure if that's ok or not.

You know SEC is fricked if Guilbeau is speaking positively about LSU’s side.

Anything they impose would be beyond hypocritical at this point.
