re: SEC Ban on NFL or NBA players returning is official

As an LSU fan, I say, LSU should move the frick on

So why don’t this imply to ineligible players also that were ruled eligible by a state judge
( Chambliss) . They can ban these players that were ruled eligible by a state judge . So why can they ban others that were ruled ineligible….. either you’re eligible or not according to the ncaa.

The NCAA ruled both these kids and Chambliss ineligible, that was circumvented with TRO's.

The difference is the SEC decided to punish any school that plays this specific group, but not anyone who plays Chambliss.

The kids can't sue the SEC because there's nothing being levied against them specifically by the SEC, it's against the schools, if they play them.

The schools have no recourse because they voluntarily agree to let the SEC handle all of this however the SEC sees fit.

The SEC is the problem here, they're picking and choosing which of their eligibility rules they want to enforce.

By SEC rule, a player has to be in good standing with the NCAA to be eligible, Chambliss isn't (through a TRO) but the SEC isn't punishing Ole Miss for playing him.

The same with Pavia, it isn't just a Chambliss thing.

So this is all moving forward. Does not effect the LSU for the exNFL guys this week that committed. Technically were they ever on the roster? And is there any teeth to the accusation that LSU told NFL players to sue?

I am not sure but… if these players won a court date and all the conferences collude against them, sounds like a class action suit and damages could be awarded for lost income. SEC rules are not laws and cannot circumvent laws I agree that pro athletes should not play. However the ncaa granted foreign euro players eligibility previously and opened that can of worms.

Agree 100%. Someone acted like the SEC and other conferences don't have the same anti-trust issues that the NCAA has...uuuuhhh, yeah they do actually. Since Sankey likes monetary judgments so much, the conferences could be sanctioned MONETARY IF the courts decide in the players favor and they try to impose penalties on those players and/or schools. And I have mentioned the Euro basketball players also. If I'm the judge, they would have to give me a GREAT explanation about why paid professional basketball players from European leagues have been allowed to come and play for colleges in the US. As you said, they opened up that can of worms themselves and never said a word about it

yes were not getting those players or rj Luis now
