Trial lawyers DON’T know federal law or procedure. That’s exactly why they generally avoid federal court. The dumbest thing the SEC could do is try to remove it (if they have diversity grounds) to federal court. The reason is that it invites a Sherman Aniti Trust claim—which they can’t win , would expose them to penalties and attorney fees.

Trinidad Chambliss' attorney. He's a clown.
But I have seen elsewhere that a federal case in another state is their only option to overturn this stuff.

What about TX, UK, OM? Why single out LSU, a-hole? Ohhhh, Tom Mars, that’s why. Sure they want LSU out of the SEC. They know LSU+LK means OM’s return to its rightful place in the pecking order.
I’ve been saying this all along. This whole mess stems from Ole Piss’ psychotic butthurt over Kiffin.

Because he wants 30,000 acres of Louisiana land to build a spaceX center on. He could definitely do us a solid assuming the powers that be in this state allows him to do it here.

This guy isn’t that bright. He also keeps saying the SEC is going to fight this battle in federal court. However outside of the class action context, federal courts won’t have jurisdiction over lawsuits by players against the SEC and NCAA.

I don’t even know how they would win in federal court. The conferences have been acting as an unsanctioned cartel. The NFL is able to exist because the government exempted it, this is not the case (yet) for college conferences, and why it’s necessary for Congress to act.

Probably means a federal judge is in waiting and paid off just like in politics
Surely you are not excluding the fact that local elected judges make decisions for personal gain or politics including for their reelections and not the law. 2 southern law judges are the ones making the local rulings including the father of another crappy and previously suspended local judge - Eboni. Daddy has to help Eboni Johnson Rose get re-elected after her suspension.

Johnson-Rose was suspended in August 2024 for nearly a year after a series of controversial cases she presided over, including one where she convicted Baton Rouge Police officer Donald Steele of a crime that did not exist, the WBRZ Investigative Unit reported.
She also took more than the legal amount of time off an arsonist’s sentence, something she later called a “regrettable oversight.”

There is already a Federal case on this issue. There was a TRO issued by that court, but it was reversed on appeal. But the case is progressing in its lumbering way there. The issue of possible damages or a settlement will more than likely ultimately be decided there, but we are a long way from that stage. Everyone is hung up on eligibility right now, but this will ultimately be a case about money. Did the NCAA deny access to potential earnings for these players that they were entitled to receive by the NCAA's own rules?
This will take a few years to work out.

Yes, in the meantime LSU just added 6 more players to it's roster before the Clemson game.

Do we know if they pleaded federal antitrust claims or if they sued under Texas law.
It doesn’t specify in the order. Federal antitrust claims make moving it to federal court a real possibility but if they filed under Texas law, it’s got a much harder road to go federal.
If it stays in state courts this should be all but done.
ETA: I guess I got my answer from that tweet on page 1 that says “we aren’t making any federal claims”.
If that’s the case, then it will be much much harder to get into federal court, and I highly doubt that would happen. Which means it states of the state level in this should be all wrapped up.

And the SEC is a voluntary member of the NCAA. So what’s your point?
Posted on 8/28/26 at 4:10 am to tigerskin
That would probably be 100% right but that would be after the season and irrelevant at that point

Mars is an expert in college sports.
It is likely true that the SEC is holding 4 aces. As a voluntary member, LSU does submit to the bylaws and regulations of the SEC.
The PLAYERS may win in court but that doesn't mean that any member institutions has to recruit them or play them.
Really the juice isn't worth the squeeze. This will pass if we just move on.
We're going to win without these guys.
This is not about acquiescing or giving into the PTB, this is about moving without taking on risk. It's a simple risk:benefit situation.
Emotions can't be a part of it.

Nice play but beatable. It is worth it to the players, no?
