The issue is now the federal lawsuit. If the emergency hearing goes past Friday and LSU loses while these players are rostered, the SEC will throw the book at LSU and Lane Kiffin. The case is going to be in Alabama. LSU will most likely not win. This is not worth it anymore. Just move on.

I don’t give a frick if we add these guys

But everything you just posted is hilarious bullshite

So you believe Kiffin never even spoke to any of these players and both just arbitrarily decided to come to LsU

They were coached by Kiffin at old piss. Its not that hard to put 2 and 2 together. Their agents reached out. There was an interview where Wright said he had his agent reach out to LSU. This isn't a hard concept to understand, bud.

And it’s ridiculous to think Kiffin himself hasn’t spoken to these players. Heck, one has been practicing all week.

Works fine give it a minute. The first kid on the news conference is a Vanderbilt athlete from Lake Charles.

What does him having a conversation with players after their agents reached out to him and LSU have to do with anything.

The lawsuit accuses Kiffin and LSU of deliberately recruiting professional athletes. How can the SEC accuse a member school of doing that when its own commissioner can’t define what a professional athlete is?

Sankey completely undermined the league’s lawsuit with his SWORN statements today.

Who said he hasn't spoken to them? More importantly, what does speaking to them have to do with what transpired in the ruling today?

Another poster took umbrage at me for using the word,” pursue” as in, Lane pursued these players.
I never implied that his pursuit of these players was illegal or immoral, only it was strange to pretend he didn’t seek after these players.

I didn't take it that way. I just wasn't exactly sure what you were talking about .

I thought maybe I missed something from the ruling or something.

And there is Tony Clayton. While this woman runs her mouth. Is it worth the risk? These x-NFL players are going to make 0 difference in the SEC. Retaliation from the SEC..........and the NCAA..............Think about that. This is stupid. I don't think these NFL prospects make the roster. We will see how stupid Louisiana people are , from this.

I would hope that this Judge in Alabama has read the 11th amendment. LSU is a state agency and not able to be sued in federal court. I am sure the AG will file her 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss .by Monday if not sooner.

You never know, but I feel better that it is in Federal court and not State court.

So much wrong in a single post.

There are a host of issues with the federal suit, starting with the 11th Amendment. There are also standing and jurisdictional issues, as well as the Anti-Injunction Act and general federal abstension.

It will likely not survive the multiple 12(b) motions - 2, 3, 6 & 7, and certainly won't be heard in the Northern District of Alabama if any part of it does remain.
