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.


There is no rule against them practicing and lane confirmed that with the SEC. There was no reason to "cut them loose"

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.


Again, heads will roll at the SEC over this whole thing. While LSU certainly took advantage of the situation, nothing they did was illegal, and the players do have a legitimate argument with the NCAA changing the rules AFTER they declared. This could have been dusted under the rug and it self-resolves next year, but Sankey decided to break out the flamethrower while standing in a house of cards.

Despite me thinking the players and LSU are mostly justified here, you are also right

None of this is remotely worth it, and LSU should have backed down immediately

I don’t think Texas or Kentucky are opposed to it… just opposed to LSU doing it.

It is absolutely worth it if the "rules" are not equally applied to all member institutions

The SEC's hypocrisy is my issue.
And all of these people who are saying “this is not worth it”, that’s exactly what they’re not understanding. It’s not about the players playing anymore. It’s about LSU being attacked when nobody else is. No fan should be OK with that ever. Why do we have to follow rules that other people don’t? Does that make any sense?

The reason would be the same as it is now: we aren't going to list them on the roster or play them.

Unless Jorden rules for the Plaintiffs today and the SEC waives its option to appeal and agrees to a final judgment on the merits of the permanent injunction AND dismisses the federal suit.

The conference is not treating its members equitably. Not that they ever have, but I’m glad this is finally going to get its day in court.

Novel idea: Roster them and don’t play them. Competitive advantage? Not if you don’t play them.

That is not what Sankey said. He specified that they "left college" therefore they cannot "comeback." But keep putting your head in the sand.


They left college, yes, because college said "you have no eligibility ".
I agree in principle with both sides...they tried out for the pros, so they had to sign. But they would not have done so if the NCAA hadn't mistakenly told them they couldn't play anymore.

Why did the SEC move to overrule the NCAA decisions? Thats what I dont understand

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


I'm mostly paraphrasing and putting quotes in quotes.

Currently the attorney for the Vanderbilt player is questioning. He questioned several times about will Vanderbilt be punished if the judge rules in his favor they allow this player to play.

Sankey danced around question and his attorney objected. The question had to asked and danced around/objected to at least 5 times.

Then judge said "I get what you're trying to ask and I see that he is not going to answer, but I understand his answer. He is going to follow the rules and the bylaws until the point that he is not going to follow them anymore"

The SEC rule was in place before any Louisiana court order, right?


I don’t know why people keep arguing with you. You clearly don’t know what you are talking about or even everything that is going on. The reference to Mississippi earlier wasn’t even about Chambliss it was about them Texas, Missouri, and others that have recruited players recently to come and play for them via a TRO in their prospective states. In regards to the court order. The initial TRO was filed previous to any applicable bylaw from the SEC. After the SEC announced its bylaw they were added to the TRO saying they couldn’t punish players, coaches, teams, or institutions protected by the TRO.
