I didn't say it was right or wrong. But nobody should be surprised by this decision.

Yesterday an Arkansas judge upheld a previous ruling that two players that attended a mini camp can remain on Arkansas’ roster without any penalties from the NCAA.



But what about the SEC?

This SEC’s new Teams call “pro player” rules allow those players to be rostered. The NCAA cast a wider net and said ANY player who attended ANY pro event, mini-camps included.

Thats the reason for this.

That’s my understanding also. But was that clearly defined by the SEC before all this started? If not, then Sankey clearly had a vendetta against Kiffin/LSU to jump right into severe sanctions or expulsion. It seems to me that maybe the rules were defined as he went along.

The only thing "secret" about the filing is that the SEC didn't put out a fricking self aggrandizing press release about it

I said it before, in the long term this is going to turn against the SEC. Recent history says the courts do not look kindly on blocking players from earning wages using inconsistently applied rules. The NCAA has affirmed that 5for5 is the rule now and these players were denied opportunities within those guidelines. Had the NCAA rolled this rule out prior to them moving toward the NFL there would be no issue, but they didn't and there is. All the NCAA and conferences had to do to keep a handle on this was announce clear guidelines on returning to college if you had started to pursue an NFL career without knowledge of the new rule and we wouldn't be in this mess.

It’s funny YOU don’t think they are! When all 16 institutions are paying millions upon millions in antitrust damages a piece maybe then you’ll understand how bad the SEC and Sankey F’d up!

He opened the conference up to antitrust suits when only the NCAA had to worry about that. That is no freaking bueno! That affects EVERY school in this conference including LSU.

Always go with this one when you need a image of Nathan Bedford Forrest. It's just great.

In addition to contempt of court charges…

…And possible criminal conspiracy and collusion charges for Sankey and the university presidents who coerced LSU into not following the court order.

Tony Clayton and the players attorneys just need to file a lawsuit against the SEC and NCAA and get damages.


They have to have this ruling in their pocket to do that to justify damages. Without it they got nothing

Sankey is a planting banana on someone else’s payroll.
