re: Let ‘em play! New ruling by Louisiana judge

Yes, I was NOT particularly impressed with his comments yesterday, but I'll chalk it up to him running around or being super busy. I've heard nothing but great things about him as an attorney

---

As I posted yesterday he was part of the legal team that back in Feb 2025 won a record jury award in LA of $411 million to a single plaintiff.

What is strange is he is the 18th JDC DA but has a thriving private practice which I assume limits him to civil cases.

hey skankey

Doesn’t Honey Badger have some eligibility left?

If HB wanted to play I don’t think the NCAA or the SEC could stop him.

So you want the College Athletics Agency under the auspices of the EEOC or the DoL? Because that's the logical outcome of this mess. Along with a new Players Union with CBAs.

Once it was determined that being a student athlete is a job the whole argument became about labor law. All the cases are being viewed through that scope.

There’s a situation where under a CBA it would be illegal for state schools in Texas and Alabama to participate. That would be freakin hilarious.

See if stinky want to buck the judge

hat are you talking about? You are blaming people for tempting the Feds to get involved when you completely ignore that the Feds have already been involved and have a bill constructed.

I think a congressional bill is a better solution than a CBA. I don’t know of a third remedy available.
My issue with the legislative action is that I don’t think the legislators really understand the assignment. Also if Congress is going to give any regulative body almost unchecked authority of college sports, I’m not sure the NCAA is deserving of that role. I’d like the legislation be something that blows up how college sports are managed and by whom.

So if it was 2023 we wouldn't be having this conversation? Come on......this ain't about those po, po , po players and giving them a fair

---

No, because in 2023 the rule hadn’t been enacted. But even through your inability to communicate your thoughts properly, I think I still know what you’re trying to say.

Again, no we won’t be having this conversation next year about the class of 2023. Because those players were afforded the ability to have the rule enacted BEFORE they have to make to decide to enter the draft or not. This year, 2026 is the fifth year for only one class in the history of the world and that’s 2022. And they just happen to be the class that got the shaft by the NCAA enacted the new rule in their 5th year but AFTER the deadline to declare.

This isn’t a hard thing to understand.

Eligibility itself is going to go away. Diego Pavia is going to come back to Vanderbilt and play until he's 45.

Ya know........both Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice still have eligibility left.....could a payday be far off......JaMarcus still has some eligibility left.
