Regardless, it’s against SEC rules so LSU should expect to be penalized if they play these dudes.

I am really curious how 3 guys from 2 different schools landed at our doorstep.

“ Wright and Harris, both former Ole Miss players, said in a lengthy court hearing Thursday they intend to join their former coach Lane Kiffin during his debut season at LSU, which opens play Saturday night against Clemson. They are among 42 athletes from various sports -- including former Notre Dame pass rusher Junior Tuihalamaka, who also plans to play for LSU -- who are suing the NCAA to play a fifth and final season of college sports.”

Which will cause another round of lawsuits since LSU will claim that they would be held in contempt and open to lawsuits by the players (which is happening to Missouri since they cut a player who won a TRO injunction against them). AG Murrill has already filed a brief stating that, if the SEC enforces its week old penalties rule, now puts LSU at risk of defying a Louisiana court. The state of Louisiana is far more powerful than the SEC and will prevail.

The SEC will appeal and ask to have the order stayed pending appeal. If it loses on appeal, it will ask for the LASC to review.

The NCAA created this problem, not LSU. Why is the SEC suing only LSU and not all the other SEC schools that are doing the exact same thing? The NCAA created it and they can resolve everything today: Issue an amendment to their 5 for 5 with an Exemption for all 2022 players! DONE!

Are you 12? You should know better. The players sued for eligibility and LSU is among multiple teams that recruited these guys if eligible. Nobody seems to care when they go to other schools. Or when other schools go after them.

I was in airports and on several flights yesterday, I really appreciate all your work/effort. It was fun to hit "refresh" every so often between movies.

Lane watched USC play in front of about 15,000 fans in their home opener last weekend. He's about to walk into his home stadium of 102,000 fans tomorrow night.

Don’t fall for it. There could be a later ruling retroactively nixing this. Don’t play them. Could derail season and not qualify for post season.

I swear there are 6 year olds with more brain cells than the majority of posters here

LSU was enjoined, they have to foster the players by court ruling.
This protects them from being penalized in any way, even if it is later overturned.

Does it make a difference if they roster them but, not play them? Honest question.

Ole Miss is suing former players. LSU is willing to bet sued for players. Just different!

I can’t see that it would
There are going to be other rostered players that don’t play
They just have to be on the roster for today’s deadline from what I understand

Admittedly don’t understand all of the parts of this thing. I wish it wasn’t happening but, here we are.

I’m not even a kiffin fan. Never have been. But, he’s our guy now and i want him to win.

I only got invested in this yesterday because I was bored at work & recently was a juror in Judge Jorden’s court

Too much drama for me but you can’t make up rules as you go & not apply them across the board

Do I have this order of events right?


1. College players from high school class of '22 who were out of eligibility either had to retire from football or try to make an NFL roster
2. Players who attempted to make an NFL roster went through draft and camps
3. NCAA announces 5/5 rule in June '26 after draft and some camps, which includes high school class of '22
4. Those players who chose to retire are welcomed back to college football
5. Those players who chose to try and make an NFL roster but only made it through minicamp are welcomed back to college football
6. Those players who chose to try and make an NFL roster but only made it through training camp are left with no options
7. Those players with no options sued the NCAA for another year of eligibility based on 5/5 and their peers being named eligible
8. Hundreds of players sued in over 6 states
9. Once SEC made a rule mid-stream about “NFL players” playing in the league, the SEC was added to the lawsuit by the players hoping to play in the SEC
10. The players won and received TRO to allow them to play
11. The court order also stipulates colleges cannot choose to not roster those players based on fear or retribution from NCAA or SEC
12. These players are now going to be rostered, but there is nothing stopping programs from not playing them
