There is an exception for necessary expenses so room and board, meals, and injury insurance are not considered compensation is what I read I believe from Cole Hutson's suit

would be a mistake not to bring him up as it contradicts Sankey's position that once a player as moved on then he should be done

Apologize this is tough to follow.

Did he drill Sankey on his specific definition of an NFL player? What contracts are allowed? What practices are allowed?

Around what time should we know about the final decision being made?


My guess is 4 or 5 but it's just a guess

I hope Sankey has to hand us the trophy in Atlanta on December 5.


He’d be a bitch and would have his assistant do that. It would be too humiliating for him.

Ya know at this point f u c k the SEC and Skankey. I want LSU to ride this horse until the very end because it's the principle of the thing and LSU is right in this matter.
I know players and recruits are taking note of how LSU is fighting for these players.

Judge Sides with the SEC on "Improper Cumulation": In a significant initial victory for the conference, Judge Jorden sided with the SEC's argument that the lawsuit represents an "improper cumulation" of claims. The SEC successfully argued that out of the 44 total athlete plaintiffs, only 7 have any actual connection to an SEC school.What This Means: The judge ruled that the vast majority of the plaintiffs cannot bring claims against the SEC since they don't play for SEC teams. SEC attorney Jason Williams famously illustrated this to the judge by stating, "If someone slipped and fell in Walmart, you couldn't bring a suit against Costco."


In the grand scheme of things that’s meaningless. Not exactly a case winning argument for the SEC.

Most of Clayton's questions were objected to. He was very theatrical and honestly didn't do as good as I thought he would.

There’s a process to these lawyers madness. First guy tries to get the witness off balance with tough questions and attacks, second guy is the good cop who’s just trying to understand, third guy asks leading questions to get a fatigued witness to admit to something accidentally

The Federal Lawsuit: Rather than waiting for the state judge's ruling, the SEC has filed a federal suit in an attempt to block LSU from putting former NFL contracted players on its roster. The conference is escalating the battle to a higher court to protect its right to enforce its own bylaws.



So the SEC doesn’t have bylaws that says a player can’t have 6 years. Is that why They didn’t go after Vandy or Ole Miss when they are going against NCAA eligibility rules?

Otherwise, this looks like a clown show from the prosecution.


There is no prosecution. There are plaintiffs (players) and defendants (NCAA/SEC/Stankey).

The next step after this is for the players' attorney to add all 15 ADs as co-defendants. This whole thing is stupid and makes me think the SEC attorneys are just a bunch of connected morons.

Which is bullshite.. what if they intend to play for an SEC team. SECs rules still apply to them even tho they played in another conference up until now.

I'm trying to sneak and type because of the amount of deputies in the courtroom. Many have left out so it's easier now. He did not ask about definition of an NFL player or definition of a pro in general. He only used overseas players as examples. I think Tony could have done much better. He was more focused on theatrics.

I’m no lawyer but I’d assume they’d try to bring this up AFTER they got Sankey on record about his position regarding pro vs amateur/ who can come back, etc.
