re: No Way We Should Play Em

LSU is not under the injunction. You get that, right?

An injunction restrains the NCAA or the SEC from acting while it is in place.

I don’t think it gives a third party immunity from the consequences of its actions if the injunction is overturned.

Thoughts?

LSU doesn't have to be "under" the injunction. The SEC and NCAA are the parties being restrained. You're right about one narrow issue, though. If the order is later reversed, retroactive punishment can become a separate question unless the court bars restitution or retaliation. That's exactly why judges in Pavia and other eligibility cases separately enjoined the NCAA's Rule of Restitution. So the answer isn't "don't play them." The answer is make sure the injunction expressly says the SEC and NCAA cannot punish LSU for relying on the court order, including retroactively.

If that happens, the players will play. The SEC isnt going to kick LSU out and the CFP isnt going to block them from the playoffs.

People will hate Louisiana. We might lose recruits, and that opens a whole new question about media pundits that have tons of resources choosing to improperly frame this and whether that has now created damages for LSU.

So the entire question is, is this worth it?

My question to you, looking at the unequal treatment of SEC members by Sankey already and historically... LSU has always been the stepchild...

Do you think LSU can continue to raise 100s of millions in a world where the deck is stacked against them? They can't. So, politically, they have to address this. The SEC has to show some sort of good faith towards LSU after the bs threats or... we are already in a conflict that we really didnt start.

If the injunction is reversed, that falls too. No protection there.

They make LSU Hawaiian shirts. I have 2.

hope LSU makes sure that other SEC schools are also playing former NFL players

So if Vandy decides not too, and the injunction is reversed, it wins the SEC!

They are going to play for someone else if not us. LSU does their homework bro. We ain't playing anyone thats not eligible.

These players are getting the ruling they deserve.....33 players got screwed by the NCAA, and a judge fixed it....Lane is working hard to produce a solid team, he did nothing wrong, neither did the players.

Never capitulate or apologize to these fricks

Injunctions get reversed all the time. And when they do in Louisiana, I don’t think they protect your conduct during the time they were in effect. You take a huge risk relying on a preliminary injunction.

Interesting point!

I don’t think you do

Enlighten me. What is your analysis whether a third party is protected from the consequences of violating a rule while the enforcing organization is under restraint, particularly discussing consequences if the restraint is dissolved or overturned as wrongfully or improvidently decreed?

I don't recall, but the SEC did nothing to Alabama for the games he played in.

Selective rule/penalty enforcement when Alabama did it last year with a player far removed from college (and with much more pro experience) than the training camp guys in 2026.
