No. This has to be resolved.


Yep

Once again why are these two TROs kid special and need attention but others weren’t worthy?

And why were other schools not called to the front of the class for recruiting the same two kids?

Nonsense. You don't hold a vote to kick a school out of the conference because they "may" roster two players who were ruled by a court of law to be eligible to play. 90% of the SEC is already doing that. We wouldn't have a conference if they all got kicked out.

But only LSU makes everyone else angry.

highly doubt it ever goes before a judge honestly


It never made sense especially when LSU didn’t roster the players and then filled their spots. It was all smoke and mirrors as I’ve said from the beginning

I was listening to Hannigrif a little while ago and he said this case was not even about LSU behavior. It was about roster control and having all these local courts throwing all the rules aside. SEC is attempting to set itself up to be judge, jury, and executioner on these cases regardless of NCAA or local court rulings. That, allegedly, was the subject matter of the issue.


And in the mean time Arkansas just added a professional baseball player to its fall baseball roster.

After yesterday’s reaction by USSen John Kennedy, I think he and the Speaker of the House Johnson and majority leader Scalise made it known to Nick Saban that if the NCAA and SEC ever want anything like the PCSA to get consideration on the floor of Congress they had better back off.

Saban still has Sankey’s leash, I think.

This is how politics are really played. Not at the governor’s level.

Plaintiff could have asked for a continuance without date.



Since its Defendant's TRO they would likely have to agree to a continuance without date, and Fed Judges absolutely hate to do it regardless. Its a rocket docket usually, they almost always set a new date

The only caveat I would say is that not all parties are served and participating yet

I don't think the SEC was going to actually boot us out. Pete Thamel said that from the jump, who I'd imagine is pretty well tied in given Mickey Mouses's stake in the game. This was about consolidating power and having the ability to enforce rules with the PCSA failing.

I'm pretty surprised this was given a continuation though, and the SEC didn't use this to secure that position. We'll see what comes out. I thought regardless of the compromise today would happen.

Impossible to say what happens next on LSUTV

They’ll announce that a settlement is in place tomorrow that includes fines and such.

That vote hasn't happened yet

I imagine that too will not occur due to LSU bending the knee.

Once LSU ensured those 2 players will not play for LSU this year, the threat of potential rule violation subsided.

So the SEC knows they won't win now that LSU cant roster the players and will quietly drop after a cooling off period?

I would be mad if LSU agreed to anything above fines.

Suspension for Kiffin would be ridiculous

I doubt we'd entertain a post season ban

South Carolina added a professional kicker to their roster while Greg Sankey was on the stand last week.

Everyone else is allowed players on a TRO, but when LSU does it "kick them out of the league".

Wouldn't that run afoul of the state judge's ruling?

Again, LSU attorneys completely outmaneuvered the clowns representing the SEC. This federal suit was a farce. The plaintiff requesting a continuation immediately before the initial hearing after our attorneys traveled into town proves malice beyond the initial timing of filing while our attorneys were at a scheduled court appearance. They are playing games without standing and using a federal court to blackmail a member institution after admitting under oath to colluding on outcomes before casting votes.

Let's go. They can have SloMoPro on their legal team.

We have a TON of high ranking politicians in the US gov.
Not only that, but they actually care about LSU and the athletics programs. Go to war with LSU, and Louisiana people don’t have to choose what side to support, they’re born on LSU’s side.

Plus they have to answer to their constituents if they do nothing.
