So what happens now if the federal court rules the opposite way?

Does that give the SEC permission to penalize LSU for rostering former Pro players? I’m assuming federal ruling trumps state?

Less than 15 minutes after the ruling and catastrophe syndrome hits some LSU fans.

They literally sued LSU today in federal court in case you missed it. Was kind of a big deal. And it’s an Alabama court. I don’t know enough about how that legal process works. That’s why I’m asking.

I’m curious as well tbh.

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

yeah it has to play out in state court, unless some constitutional question is involved here, which I don't think is the case.

Didn’t they sue for an entirely different reason though? Contacting the players? Good luck proving that. Was a desperate intimidation move.

I'm not certain but I believe that is a different legal matter, they are suing LSU for the violation of federal law I think namely a 1A matter. The ruling today was a state level decision.

That’s why the SEC cooked up that first amendment bullshite. It feels like a Hail Mary for them.

A TRO or injunction in the Federal case would override the state. It's basic civics. My understanding is that the Federal case would prevent LSU from playing the players in SEC games.

it's not as simple as the federal court deciding to get involved it has to invovle a federal law or diverse jurisdiction.

For any court (federal or state) to preside over any case, the court must have jurisdiction. Federal courts generally have jurisdiction over two different kinds of cases:
Cases arising out of a federal question. If the grounds for the case come from the constitution or from a federal statute or law, then the case can be heard in federal court.
Cases where there is diversity jurisdiction. The plaintiff and defendant need to be from different states, have different citizenships or otherwise be “” Diversity jurisdiction only exists if the amount in controversy (the amount of money the lawsuit hinges on) is valued at $75,000 or greater.
The only question I have is the whole diverse jurisdiction question, is the SEC being located in Alabama and LSU being located in Louisiana cause a diverse jurisdiction? Or is the fact that it was first challenged in state court mean it is stuck there.

They are attempting a reach around by fining the school and not the players, but the causation is still the players.

The federal case has no baring on the state eligibility case. I heard Liz Merrill say the federal case was frivolous.
The SEC isn't a corporation and has no 1A rights among other things.

I don’t know that its even a TRO/injunction type case. What are they gonna do, be given temporary permission to punish LSU. Case could take months. It’s not about player eligibility. An appeal in the state case would be.
