I'm sure this has been discussed already, but can a member sue the SEC to enforce

For what remedy? Elaborate.

If a conference member is in violation of SEC bylaws, can another conference member sue to enforce the SEC's agreed upon bylaws against such conference member and impose appropriate penalties for non-compliance?


Let's say hypothetically, a team decided to roster and play a player deemed ineligble by the NCAA and/or the SEC. If the SEC refused to enforce its rules for such violation and took no action to get the violating member to cease, is there any relief available to the other members?

For example: If in the future, Alabama decides their RB room needs help and in this alternate universe, they get an alabama state court judge to issue a TRO against the NCAA allowing Najee Harris or Jahmyr Gibbs to come back for a season. If the SEC elects to NOT enforce it's newly passed rule against former pro players, can the courts provide any relief to non-violating members? Could Tennessee bring suit in federal court against Alabama and the SEC to force the SEC to enforce its bylaws against Alabama?

Brother, Mississippi State has been shaking cowbells against the rules forever. Guess it depends on severity of infraction, but if the conference doesn’t raise the issue on their own, why would a university think they’d do better in court?

Again, care to elaborate on the bylaw and remedy sought for more appropriate context?

Consider a correlate. Can an HOA member sue another for not cutting their grass?

It’s a voluntary association. Your remedy is to leave if the administration doesn’t enforce their own rules. And I’m a lawyer saying this, suing another member would be a pussy move.
