SEC lawsuit question

Let’s say the SEC wins their lawsuit they filed today. Can the retroactively punish us for playing these kids?

I have no idea I don’t have a law degree I’m just a process operator

From what I’m reading, no unless we continued to play them after this ruling was overturned.

Probably. It’s a federal case and is basically an injunction against LSU and leadership that would allow them to enforce their new conference rules. Seems if they win that, they will come down hard on LSU and make an example.

The SEC federal lawsuit asks for a declaratory judgment declaring that they can “disassociate” from LSU due to LSU not abiding by SEC rules. If the federal court rules in favor of the SEC, expulsion is on the table.

Depends on who you listen to. I have a hard time believing they can retroactively punish a school for playing a then eligible player.

18 lawsuits were filed before pyburns lawsuit was filed in August. The SEC is going to have a hard time trying to prove Kiffin is responsible for them filing lawsuits.

Quit calling them kids.
The lawsuit has to survive motions to be dismissed, motions to be moved to LA and then actually litigated and won.
A ton of shite will happen before all of that happens. No one knows but it is either stand up now or be the whipping boy.

Wrong.. the current ruling requires LSU to accept those listed players. If they deny them retroactively then they will be sued by said players. Sankey is toast

The SEC is going to have a hard time winning that case when its own commissioner can’t define what a professional athlete is and doesn’t read the updated NCAA rules manual.

I’m sure they’ll have him media trained by then.

Not that simple. Two courts generally aren’t supposed to issue conflicting orders telling the same parties to do opposite things. The Supreme Court has dealt with this exact type of problem and the basic rule is that you obey the order that’s currently in effect until it’s overturned—you don’t just pick the order you like better. So if Alabama tells the SEC it can punish LSU while the Louisiana injunction says the SEC cannot punish LSU, that’s going to create a serious jurisdictional fight. An Alabama ruling doesn’t automatically erase the Louisiana order.
