re: Tom Mars gives his explanation of why he is saying the Conferences will ultimately win

Well, I have a feeling that’s what going to happen in this case as well! “Them’s the breaks” as they say, when you give the playbook away on how to get an ineligible player eligible by using home court judges!

The NCAA appealed the case all the way to the Mississippi Supreme Court, which denied the NCAA's subsequent appeal to block the lower court's decision. At each step, it was determined that the medical documentation was sufficient to let the case proceed,
If anything, Mars is well positioned to comment on cases against the NCAA.
each step along the way Ferris State was denied providing proof that it was not a medical issue that prevented him from playing, he was just getting beat out for the position...if Ferris State would have signed off stating it was a medial issue it would have never gone to court, but they refused to do it...

Rule is 5 for 5
When you deny a 5th year for some , but allow 6th and more for others that’s called an arbitrary decision.

Mars has LDS. If he was in a respectable field they would be pulling his license to practice for his fake case and his mental breakdown that he is going through. He needs help.

Yup. This Mars guy is really disgusting.

It’s funny how the fake LSU fans think Mars is some kinda legal god. Nevermind how wrong he has been over and over on twitter and his big win with Chambliss only happened because of an ole miss alum and season ticket holder being the judge. Chambliss lost over and over until that one judge.

And the funny thing is, they won in the preliminary hearing, but the court docket will not open up for the final hearing until after the season. That gives them the option to rule against Chambliss and act like they weren't trying to game the system because the preliminary injunction prohibits them from retroactively penalizing anyone. Or maybe I'm just still a little pissed about that one.

Wasn't he 1000% sure that Kiffin wouldn't leave ole miss for LSU bc the stuff LSU was promising wasnt contractually possible?? How'd that go

I've been saying that these players won't play because the legal risk isn't worth it.
Is playing one of these former NFL/NBA players similar to Bama playing Bediako last year? Bama went 3-2 with him and I dont think the SEC later punished them.
I admittedly don't have the legal mind to follow all the stuff that is going on with this situation...just asking a question out of curiosity.

On what legal basis does the SEC have the right to retroactively punish a school, coach or player when the courts have specifically said they can’t?
Right now they can’t and if the injunction is granted, they still can’t. But if they do take it higher and it gets overturned or dissolved, then the protection from the “Rule of Restitution” goes away as well.

This is the same dumbass who said a few days ago the SEC and NCAA strategy would be to get these cases to federal court. There is no avenue for that to happen. Federal court lacks jurisdiction over most of these cases.
I thought the same thing, especially when I saw in the Dallas TRO that it wasn’t possible because they made no federal claims.
But somebody else mentioned that it was because this falls under diversity which the federal courts have jurisdiction over. I don’t understand how that works, I’m not sure I follow what is exactly meant by diversity in this situation.

Better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you’re an idiot than open your mouth and remove all doubt….

I’m sorry you think that but it absolutely does not.

No diversity jurisdiction exists as the NCAA is a “citizen” of every state because it takes on the citizenship for diversity purposes of its members, ie very school.

Under standard legal principles, when a school fields an athlete pursuant to an active court order, the conference cannot retroactively punish or levy restitution against the institution for complying with that binding judicial mandate. However, this protection depends heavily on how higher courts ultimately rule on the merits; if an injunction is eventually overturned on appeal, the legal ground can shift, though current TRO protections explicitly aim to prevent irreparable harm and retrospective fallout for programs like LSU.
If we’re going down so is half the conference. Not to mention what court really what’s to set a precedent that listening to a court order can get you punished? Judges aren’t the smartest people but I’ll give them enough credit not to start whittling away their own power.

Protection moving forward goes away if schools play them after that point. Retroactively imposing penalties is not going to happen, SEC would be acting in bad faith.

We might not ever know that but one side will be the winner from their perspective. It will be from a legal perspective.
