I mean if the judge in BR keeps the TRO rolling then all hell is going to break loose and there will be many players in portal ready to be picked up/signed. What a country!

I believe each school won't have much time to do so, since roster need to be finalized 24 hours before the games on Saturday.

No. Other teams shouldn’t benefit from this is they continually bash LSU. Especially any SEC team. They need to stand for what they believe it. You don’t get to run your mouth then reap benefits. If your school voted for punishment, then you better not play a player on a TRO.

That might be true,but LK said if the SEC sticks to their recent penalties he would abide by their decision.

Are they gonna remove the players that are already enrolled at other school like the Texas center? It's sad for the player but got to be fair

How many players are named in the specific lawsuit and TRO issued by the Baton Rouge judge?

Actually the TRO is only for 15 players so it wouldn't mean anyone besides them are eligible.

The key here is that LSU is not a plaintiff in the case and will most likely adhere to the rules of conference. That puts the ball in the plaintiffs (players) court to sue the conferences for antitrust for BIG money.

The conference has to tell the members if they are going to abide by the rulings of the courts.

I hope they do start plucking players left and right if that happens that way the focus will shift away from us somewhat although it probably won’t as they will say all this is happening because of us and everyone else is just jumping on board cause we did the wrong thing. In reality it all ought to fall back on Bama bringing in basketball dude that was 2-3 years removed from college mid season. That’s worse than us trying to bring Luis in this year

The people who think this will kill college football don’t realize it’s already dead.

Not only is it not dead. It’s the greatest it’s ever been.

Nah it opens the door for any player that was cut and can be signed under the 5 for 5 umbrella.

Given the precedence it would take almost zero time for them to get an injunction granted as well.

It won't be madness. This is all calculated. Schools have to move quickly, as classes are in session. I wouldn't be surprised if they have the individuals on campus already, and enrolled. I'm almost thinking it will be very easy lol

If anyone is planning on signing them it will be done by noon tomorrow, at the absolute latest. They will have had to work with the player to get everything lined up ahead of time too.

We will find out exactly how many programs have been talking out both sides of their faces.

I'm glad we are in agreement. This ruling is for 15 or 17 players.

They DO NOT have to be on the roster by tomorrow.

They just need to be enrolled in school.

Any member of the student body in good standing can be added to the roster mid-season presuming their are spots.
