So you get recruited and offered money to play football. Anyone in collage getting paid is a professional.


a person engaged in a specified activity, especially a sport or branch of the performing arts, as a main paid occupation rather than as a pastime:

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.


Hell yeah

He's playing under a court order. The NCAA has ruled him ineligible three times and has never said otherwise.

Same as these "pro" players. There is no difference. That's the point. The SEC's hypocrisy is my issue.

No, he’s not. He’s ineligible but playing under a restraining order preventing anyone from punishing him or Ole Miss for it.

Same exact thing these players are attempting to get.

Should we do a gofundme to get this court transcript expedited? It'll be damn near $1,000 likely but would be fun to have...

Basically this ends the same way regardless of what happens. Unless the LASC and the USSC both hear this case before tomorrow afternoon and both make determinative and final judgments that the players are eligible and/or that the federal suit is dismissed with prejudice (which isn't possible)---there is no way LSU can roster or play them.



One could argue that LSU is legally required by a court order to allow them to play. If they hold them out, the players could sue them, as well.

We basically have to play them.

Not in any way. Them being NCAA eligible has no bearing on whether LSU can choose to roster or play them, or not.

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.


Well yeah??- I meant a good response rhetorically and on the merits-not legal strategy.

So the SEC is going to say we are ok with the 5/5 guys but

We are not ok with "Muh former pros."

Is the Notre Dame DE a regular 5/5 guy?

Know you're in stealth mode, but need the deets on this. Are you paraphrasing or did we get an Big Daddy -esque ending?

what mess? Players suing the SEC or the SEC suing our HC, AD and President?

Cutting the two depth pieces loose the second it blew up and it was obvious the conference (and everyone outside of LSU) was seriously opposed would have been a start.
