So is the SEC just trying to lull everyone into a false sense of security with this piss poor defense today? Are they actually this inept? Sankey can't actually think it's a good idea to say he doesn't know what defines a pro and to admit he's ignorant on NCAA regulations?

Letting us get overconfident and play these guys only to present a valid defense in the federal case.

The exposure of Sankey’s incompetence was the greatest win for LSU today.
I expect the tide to slowly begin turning (no pun intended)

Their entire defense rests on their ability to enforce their own rules as regards eligibility as a “voluntary association of members” which the LA state judge didn’t really address.

Lot of the Twitter attorneys seem to think that’s a slam dunk argument…but if so then why didn’t the conferences just pass rules preventing NIL and unlimited portal transfers? No one thinks that the conferences could just pass those restrictions again and have them hold up in the court.

At the end of the day the NCAA is a voluntary association of members as well (schools could go join NAIA or start their own organization) yet they’ve been enjoined from enforcing every rule on the books

You don't sandbag in court, to hope you get an appeal. You try and win at every stage because you aren't guaranteed that you'll get an appeal. An appeal isn't a do over. You have to prove that the law was misapplied, not that you did a shitty job and need a do over.

They want to enforce their own rules, but not when Deigo Pavia and Trinidad Chamblis are involved. And what about the other 5 SEC plaintiffs? Only 2 involved LSU, 1 Vanderbilt, I don’t know the others
