The SEC's entire argument is that it wasn't new, and just a clarification that the NCAA rule against professionalism still applied under the SEC bylaws to these guys.


Again, going through the draft process is a part of that rule. Yet there are 3 players currently rostered that did just that.

The SEC is selectively enforcing its rule.

because I ain't getting shite done either


I sent out a cancellation notice to three projects we were going to pursue but decided not to. So I was able to clear my plate for the rest of the week at just the right time so me doing nothing isn't unproductive because there is nothing to look at lmfao.

Chambliss's eligibility does not violate SEC rules. He never signed a professional contract, unlike Wright and Harris, among others.

I am not sure about the Texas situation you reference.


Nice try, Reb, but it does violate SEC rules.

SEC Bylaw 14.01.1 — Compliance With Other NCAA and Conference Legislation. It states that each student-athlete:

“must comply with the Constitution, Bylaws, and other rules, regulations, and legislation of the Conference and the NCAA

and that this compliance is required:

“in order to be eligible for athletically-related aid, practice, or competition.”

Pr0. Get paid to play

If this is the case, the SEC and all the other conferences have a lot more lawsuits to file.

But as I've said, none of this really matters which is why its so infuriating that we got into this mess. We can't play them this season regardless of what happens in court today.
what mess? Players suing the SEC or the SEC suing our HC, AD and President?

A good LSU response to that would be something like: This isn’t compelled speech or association—it’s regulation of competitive conduct. Nobody is forcing the SEC to endorse LSU’s position; the court is simply preventing the SEC from enforcing an allegedly UNLAWFUL eligibility rule.


No, a good (and expected) response from LSU will be a simple 12(b)6 motion: failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

Second attorney is finished. He did a great job showing bylaws and in the NCAA bylaws he clearly showed how these players should be eligible to play based on the 5 for 5 rule. He got Sankey to admit that the bylaws show that and made Sankey say that he and the sec will follow those bylaws.

Yeah if the SEC is arguing that their bylaws state that NCAA rules still apply even if a court issues an injunction, and therefore said player is still barred from playing in the SEC, that’s a huge mistake.

Because that means that they let Pavia, Chambliss, numerous basketball players, Texas player and I’m sure dozens of others play over the past 4-5 years without issuing a similar clarifying rule or engaging in any similar enforcement attempts.

But Chambliss is eligible to play, and will play, on Saturday.

Exactly. This isn’t a local court voicing their feelings about letting the poor kids play.

The court is saying the NCAA violated antitrust law. And now the SEC is in violation of the same law.

The SEC is forcing schools to choose between breaking the law or breaking the law. That is why Sankey is toast.

He is not eligible and will play on Saturday. The SEC should sanction Ole Miss against a court order.

Dang! That should be ballgame.

What's rebuttal going to be:

"Yeah, but it favors LSU"?

Some court hearing details from @WAFB news director Robb Hays: Attorney Tony Clayton asked SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey how much he makes and added that Sankey flew here on a private jet. Sankey replied that he made $4.8 million last year. Clayton then said of the SEC - “They make a lot of money off the backs of these kids”
