re: The sentence that matters…the action that matters…

Problem with this the players didn’t even sue the SEC. The sued the NCAA just like the myriad of other players that have. I’m not sure what discussions were had behind the scenes by the SEC and LSU. I’m sure it was something of we know you’ll win and if you do we’ll take drastic action because this is where we draw the line in the sand and well self destruct before letting this pass.
No conference has ever interceded in suits for eligibility against the NCAA. The big XII may have and we don’t know about because tech bowed down quick and LsU said this different because of the 5 for 5 so frick off. Now the SEC is going nuclear because this was line that was drawn.

Well, I recant my thread. Paul Finebaum (Sankey’s mouthpiece) just recanted his statements from earlier today and said LSU won’t be kicked out.
It appears some deal has been reached.

Ain’t happening.
I agree. It would be cutting off their nose to spite their face. It would cause more damage to their pocket books in the long run and bring lawsuits, not only from LSU. It would open the floodgates for sponsors and TV networks that have contracted with them to sue. Probably others as well

That’s in direct contradiction with what Thamel/Finebaum reported today which is the SEC isn’t expected to expel LSU.
LSU bent the knee today and finalized the roster. If the SEC insists on pushing forward with expulsion, then Stankey has clearly crossed the line from regulation to persecution. He is hell-bent on kicking us out despite the fact that we did exactly what the SEC instructed us to do. This is petty and vindictive and he’s likely being pushed by the likes of OM, Bama, UGA, and Tennessee. It would not surprise me in the least if Texas is in on this as well. At the very least, Stankey will insist on punitive measures such as massive fines, suspensions, etc. designed to cripple the football program.

The SEC is trying to establish that they have the legal authority to enforce its own rules. Their argument may work, but it's far from a done deal.

If LSU didn't roster the players, is Sankey saying that LSU is being kicked out of the SEC because it wanted to roster them, but decided to follow the SEC rules and didn't roster them. So just exactly what is LSU guilty of doing that warrants such a punishment?

For seeking valid legal action? Kicking a school out for doing something lawful? That's a bit insane.
Perhaps it's a lawful but immoral stance, but then they need to kick out Texas, Alabama, Kentucky, etc. AND sue the NCAA for failing to establish enforceable rules kn these points.

Everyone keeps asking why. Stealing Lane from another SEC member school during a playoff run. Doing something like that to another member school is why. Member schools don't do things like that to another member school. That behavior is what is not acceptable with the sec. Hiring wade back didn't help as well. Imo, this is where it all is stemming from

The difference is that Harris and Wright signed UDFA contracts. The other guys in the 5 for 5 suit just attended mini-camps. That's crossing the Rubicon in college sports, when you enter the draft. Always has been. Now I think if they knew they had a choice coming in June, they may have held off on doing the UDFA deal. But in the end all these players did the same thing and tried out and were cut at mini-camps. It's just that Harris and Wright had crossed the Rubicon and entered the draft and signed an UDFA contract.

Egg on face.

Stankey is a yankee. Why is that guy still commissioner?

If I’ve learned anything about the SEC and the FEDs, it depends on the agenda and the judge.
This is the definition of lawfare and the rules and justice really don’t matter.

The court is not going to say that LSU can't file in the courts for relief.
That is any citizen's right.
That doesn't mean they have a right to win their case, but everyone has the right to try.

Charles Bediako.
If the SEC has longstanding rules against recruiting and playing professional players, then why was he allowed to participate in 5 conference games last season.
If representation can't get the suit outright dismissed today, that needs to be the first point brought up.

But WHY??

Players case didn't involve the SEC until the SEC jumped in. So colluding to sue the conference is out.
