The cool thing about contracts is that if a provision, inclusive of bylaws (which are incorporated into contracts by reference), is found to be unlawful, it is void.

Following that logic, any disciplinary action resulting from enforcing that void provision could, ostensibly, be a breach of contract by the SEC.

The issue is when Sankey was on the stand he reportedly couldn’t define what a pro was. He mentioned when they run out of eligibility etc.
This will be messy, but I am glad we are standing for principle. The principle of the NCAA and SEC needs to get their act together.

For being a lawyer, Tom Mars says a LOT of dumb shite with no basis in law or jurisprudence.

the bylaws have been voided by a court order as non-constitutional that’s a pretty big fact that ole Tom is ignoring.
I was about to post the same thing. How does an coonass like me, whose never taken a single law class, know that an entity’s bylaws can’t supersede state law, but Tom Mars doesn’t?

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Stop trying to break the law a-hole!

Yea and LSU needs to file a lawsuit against Tom Mars to shut his annoying arse up about LSU. Im tired of reading bullshite Tom Mars says every other day about how LSU should be put in the slammer practically.

Yea

Also, we have to roster these kids imo. I think you let them practice and “get them up to speed” but you do it while the dust settles.

We CANNOT play RJ Luis. That has to die now. Playing him would invalidate everything we are fighting for.


How will this affect the girls (soccer players) who played? What about the other 38 players listed? That’s what I care about now.

When a person or organization joins a private association, they agree to follow its rules in exchange for the benefits of membership. Courts treat the bylaws as a valid contract.
I mean the players (person within his context) voluntarily agreed to follow the rules regarding the lack of NIL and pay for play, but that didn’t stop them from being able to find enough sympathetic lawmakers, courts, and judges to set us down this path.

It's amazing we're watching a guy primarily known for taking on the NCAA completely take the side of the NCAA and the conference in this case.

This guy was literally Trinidad Chambliss' attorney who helped him get around the NCAA's rule book, after the NCAA said he was ineligible and denied his 6th year 3 different times.

I guess he feels emboldened to defend the SEC since, for some reason, the SEC didn't take offense to Chambliss getting to play his 6th year only because of a judge's order.

The one thing I learned about lawyers on twitter is they are 100% correct and are never wrong. All of them. Regardless of position.

The SEC is actually registered with the IRS as a charitable organization. Crazy classification.

Right, if anything the SEC is a clearing house for the shared profits of its member institutions

We are pissed because the SEC isn’t enforcing its bylaws equally.
this is what’s crazy. Even I know you can’t selectively enforce rules and make up new rules to punish one and not equally enforce and punish others. I would think you also can’t selectively agree to abide by one court order against a member but disregard another court order. It looks to me like they’re intentionally trying to cause harm to one because they don’t like the outcome. I’m sure all these Internet attorneys will correct me and tell me I’m wrong.

Is the SEC not a member of the NCAA? Did they not agree to follow the NCAA bylaws? If so, why is chambliss playing?

Tommy boy is getting schooled by another attorney on X. He sited a Supreme Court case (Franchise Tax Board of CA v Hyatt) stating that State agencies cannot be sued in another state's court.

Furthermore as I just told Tom on his X feed ( dude hates me because I’ve been challenged him and winning on every point ) -LSU can produce DOZENS of examples where they associated with conduct with no complaint that they now claim they do not agree with. This is selective enforcement-always against LSU.

Tom is about 10% as smart as he thinks he is. Nearly all the shite he spouts on twitter is wrong.

The Bediako case completely exposes the SEC to the possibility of collusion. The federal suit is so sloppy. I read it. Looks like a high schooler wrote it using ChatGPT.

The SEC gump retards should be careful what they wish for.

I wouldn't be surprised if the suit gets tossed under the 11th Amendment.
