re: SEC is in a very uncomfortable legal position and might not have any power over players

All they had to do was grant anyone in the 2022 class a waiver to play, even if they signed temporary pro contracts but were ultimately cut. Now they created this big shite show for themselves just because of their disdain for one person, Lane Kiffin.
Orrrrr, issue the new 5 for 5 ruling BEFORE the draft so that the 2022 class knew their options. This was either classic NCAA short-sightedness, or classic NCAA shadiness, but either way, its classic NCAA.

That’s the real danger for the SEC. They went to court trying to protect their authority over LSU and may have accidentally put the entire legal structure of the conference on trial. And if a court ever says SEC enforcement is state action, this does not stop with the SEC. The Big Ten, Big 12 and other conferences built around public universities could have the exact same problem.
Without getting into the detailed explanation you gave (and thanks for that...) I have been saying from day one this fight the SEC has chosen is going to end very badly for college sports in general...
Every action they took (until they cooled their jets a little..) was taking them closer and closer to their own demise...

It seems the legal counsel isn’t actually counseling them. They are just yes men for Sankey.

Yep, at least this particular situation could have been 100% avoidable if they had done the above. The ONLY remaining issues that I think the NCAA/SEC/ Big 10 etc will have trouble with related to football are the following:
1) players who declare for the NFL draft but do NOT participate in any way with NFL teams will be allowed back in college IF they have eligibility (see the rights of college baseball players)
2) players WILL eventually be able to transfer from SEC team to SEC team without sitting out a year...classic "restraint of trade"

This is an excellent take.
The unfortunate result is that what remains is a complete inability to govern college football. It's been proven the NCAA can't do it. The SEC is about to get blown up now. The dominos are falling and there's no stopping it.
The only solution is some sort of voluntary participation in a set of governing bylaws.
But if you are gonna do that, it's going to take a superhero like Saban to lead the charge and pull it off, organize the effort, and make it fair for everyone. Along with an impartial board of folks who impart enforcement of the rules.
I'm not sure who thought putting a bunch of bureaucrat school Presidents on the SEC exec committee wouldn't end up with the clusterfuk we have now though. Bunch of arse kissing yes-men linkedIN warriors.
