Consistent


First time I’ve seen this word used by the SEC or NCAA. Nothing about this has been consistent.

He doesn’t actually address any legal issues, it’s just moral grandstanding. He knows he’s fricked.

I’m reading on twitter that the SEC hired Jason Williams and Stone Pigman. Can anyone verify?

So, the antitrust piece... you think an attorney could successfully argue the Sherman Act against the SEC?

I think that would be close to impossible since admission to the conference is voluntary.

Now the SEC is suing LSU and everybody attached to it.

First of all it’s the players making the argument not LSU.

Technically the players could go play NAIA football or they could go play overseas. Playing in the NCAA isn’t the only possible place to play football and yet courts have consistently ruled the NCAA can’t do certain things.

If all the P4 schools pass certain laws do you really think courts would uphold them because they’re voluntary? If all the P4 schools banned NIL and no transfers would that be upheld?

Why shouldn’t they be allowed to return to the same level of competition they were at previously?

I hope for their sake they have a better argument than what’s laid out in this post.

These judges need to light Sankey and the media up over their collusion and bad faith through all of this. Judges in other states might not care so much about that, but a Louisiana judge should definitely speak.

Didn't anyone pull the fire alarm at Stankey's hotel last night?

Anyone got his cell # yet?

These bylaws reflect that permitting former professional athletes to the return to competition also creates a competitive disadvantage in fundamental unfairness for current student athletes who have not pursued a professional sports career, but instead of maintain their commit to the college athletic model.


This is where I hope they are pressed. The student athletes are professionals by definition.

This narrative about depth pieces need to change. Harris will start… he was all SEC last season. Better than anyone we have starting now. We have Big Dom starting now (which I hope he grew a ton and want him to do well), c’mon man.


Harris has been hurt, couldn't participate much in training camp, and is apparently 40 lbs overweight. And has had some serious disciplinary issues. The fact pattern isn't making him seem like a guy that's going to come in and be a starter for us.

He's a second half of season contributor at this point and likely depth.

Wright is a more traditional TE and could possibly start if we move Green around or have 2 TEs.

What I’d love to see is LSU absolutely destroy everyone on the field without the players in question on the roster, and after it’s all said and done those guys bend the sec over for millions in damages.

I really don't care what happens, as long as LSU isn't fricked in the end.

I think the funniest outcome would be the courts ruling in favor of the players and all these hypocrites in the SEC start adding these players.
