I thought a judge did this. The original ruling being that first year class starting in fall of 2022 was only class that didn’t get an extra year like future and prior ones.

Can’t remember if that is the one that got stayed on appeal or if it was another earlier ruling.

They’ve severely limited their opportunities and earning potential. You can’t argue they’d make the same in the SWAC.

Once again, they are not being forced to go play in the SWAC. All of these players can sign, play, and get paid by a SEC school.

Only because they continue to pretend these are student athletes. I imagine that will be challenged soon too.

Whether it will be challenged soon or not does not matter at all. At this moment, they are not employees of the SEC, and there is no argument to claim that they are.

He means they made their decision to go pro bc Ncaa said they were out of eligibility. They weren't ooe they had 1 more yr and ncaa decides to exclude class of 22 out of the 5 to play 5. Why? That was bullshite.This won't happen again in the future with the rules now in place.

I’m not sure, but the NCAA 5 for 5 rule and thus the lawsuit all came well after the draft, which they were automatically entered in believing they were out of eligibility.

With all that said, this all has gotten completely out of hand and I’m glad someone is attempting to rein it in. Covid ruined everything

I’m not arguing in any bad faith. I didn’t know if he was referring to their commitment to the NFL or commitment to the school they were planning on playing for. It was a legitimate question.

Ok. Fair. But this has already played out with Sorsby. Conferences can dole out any punishment they see fit. They aren't enjoined by the SC decision. Sorry...it's the facts. It's a voluntary membership.

A judge did it, not the ncaa. The ncaa passed a rule change that was pretty clear who would be eligible.

For the record, NCAA membership is voluntary as well.
