Question for board lawyers. Does suing LSU and not Texas hurt the SEC’s case?

Can it be that arbitrary?

That is a point LSU will bring up and make Sankey answer. Its one of the reasons why this lawsuit is so stupid.

I am not a lawyer. However I don’t see how the SEC wins this, and I think they’re making it worse for themselves by even trying.

The Texas players didn't sign contracts with the NFL teams.

A judge in Dallas just made a ruling last week in this situation and Sankey was nowhere to be found.

When you can’t answer what a professional is you aren’t qualified to write rules

They participated in camps. Are we playing semantics?

Yes, it's called selective enforcement.

Hutson was paid by multiple NFL teams to participate in multiple mini-camps where he had to sign multiple medical waivers, which are contracts.

Or suing LSU for this vs every other program with international players that won lawsuits. Shoot, or Alabama with Bediako.

This is all a game of chicken.

I've always been a Los Angeles Rams fan. Can I just show up next year at mini-camp?

If you practice with them, you are under some sort of contract, period. (Not workout, practice)

Did Texas guys participate in training camp?

I thought he had a waiver.

Also he declared for the draft and practiced with NFL teams

What about all the other schools who approached the athletes who committed to us?

The SEC seems to be saying LSU approached these players to enact all this. They can claim Texas was only a participant after the fact. It won't hold up because the rest of the suit is just total bs. None of this is irrecoverable harm for the SEC.
