The SEC has made a move to try and gain some power back why has the NCAA not?

They understand they have no power anymore.

The court ruling around NIL a few years back effectively neutered the NCAA from what I understand.

It’s those who make a lot of money that realize based on “amateur” athletes is dead. It’s the death wobble of their careers

So did the SEC that’s kind of why they are drawing a line. It took a few years while we all sat and watched. It’s old of like a power play to gain some control back basically. This was a good target

The NCAA does not have "plenary power and authority" with respect to all affairs of college sports "of any type or nature whatsoever." The NCAA does not have authority to take actions "in their sole discretion."
The SEC can expel a member on two-thirds vote at a meeting. The NCAA cannot.

The NCAA hasn't been able to figure out how to deal with these state court suits. Conferences have a different relationship to members and the players, and they are stepping in. While the NCAA can be ruled that it's relationship with players is illegal, conferences have a much better legal argument to punish member schools.
The Big12 was the first with the Sorsby stuff. Now the SEC is asserting itself with this situation.
Conferences and the NCAA are tired of these rogue hometown state courts over-exerting power with rulings that go beyond the states in which they reside, stripping them of enforcement authority. The NCAA just doesn't really have an angle right now to do anything about it.

Sorsby and his gambling is slightly different than the eligibility issue. The gambling rules have been very clear. The eligibility stuff has been up in the air and shifting.
It’s reasonable for the conferences to try to stop this. However, the problem became they drew a late line on it while abiding or not challenging others. The sec also made it appear as they did this in response to over rule a court ruling.
The sec and others should have got out in front of it, instead they reacted.
The big10 is laughing again though as it’s the sec that has been raked over the coals and the sec is now the ones being drug into court and could have to pay damages. All
While the big10 isn’t being drug into court.
They continue to out play the sec presidents and their lackey.
The big10 has been laying the wood to the sec presidents and Sankey for years now. It’s insane considering how filthy that conference is with its gross sex scandals that they manage to come off clean and continue to out move us in every issue.

6 months ago this would not be taken as a serious statement.
Signing professional contracts creates as bright of a line regarding ineligibility as gambling.

Not via the conferences or NCAA.
If you want to argue rogue state courts have muddied the waters, I won't disagree, but that's the entire point.

Being dragged into one of these rulings is probably the more accurate description. The SEC was clearly not happy about that step.

This is why I think the small chances the Big10 would ever entertain LSU are smaller today.

I think it is pretty widely known that they aren't part of the plan. It appears that the Big and SEC will run the whole show going forward. Sankey is trying to make an example and get everyone to fall in line on ANYTHING that the SEC says, just like a good little Communist that he idolizes. It is all his kind know. It doesn't have to make sense, it is just who they are. I hope the SEC finds someone different for this vital role, because he isn't it. Unfortunately, many of the School Presidents around the country are woke nut jobs, just like the Tenn woman and the Ga President.

It’s a good question.
The SEC is acting on behalf of the NCAA. It is disguising this in a “govern itself” objective but in reality this is an attempt to ignore and defeat these court cases.
It will eventually be used to limit the revenue going to players. It’s a power play trying to do what the NCAA has done forever.

Admin please get this guy off of here, and keep him in politics. Dude is intentionally trying to be an arse, claiming a guy playing collegiate ball and betting on it is the same as some guy trying out for an NFL team because is eligibility has been exhausted.

This is not the time to get your attention fix that you so desperately need daily. This is the time where actual grounded adults use common sense. Run along and play now.

You aren't even describing what I said correctly.
Don't muddy this thread up with your bad takes. This is a serious discussion.

LSU didn’t drag the sec into court. We don’t control the guys that did this.

Defeat more than ignore.
The Big12 started this a few months ago with Sorsby, who even got his state court injunction against the NCAA. The Big12 stepped in and flexed, even filing a federal suit to get its enforcement authority recognized.
Hell, the Texas AG threatened the Big12, too. He backed down for a reason.

Which I don't understand. The SEC's position is you're a voluntary member of our group so you must follow our rules or face consequences. Why wasn't the NCAA granted the same latitude?

That's a different discussion and one LSU should be hoping isn't investigated.

I think it’s more ignore.
The NCAA effectively implements its “unfair” eligibility rules by having a surrogate do the work.

They were for a long time, but that's eroded a bit with court rulings, starting with the NIL ruling.
Then players started going to random state courts to get injunctions and the NCAA became relatively toothless.
That's why conferences are stepping in, because while they may not be able to stop the rogue state court rulings at the player level, they can hammer the member schools who play those players.
That's why this suit had a state court judge issue a terrible ruling against the SEC's authority, and made the situation go nuclear. This is the players trying to adapt to what the Big12 started a few months ago.
