How are they going to get it into federal court?
Diversity jurisdiction probably won’t work. And if it does it will remove the Baton Rouge case this morning.
Dunno.

It is likely true that the SEC is holding 4 aces.
And they will get hit with a straight flush…Sankey is being named a defendant, they will slap him with a TRO preventing him from imposing any kind of punishment to schools who are following a judges ruling…if he tries to he will be held in contempt…

My deepest apology to all the crazies. (His word, not mine). That wasn’t my intention. What’s more, I apologize in advance to those who may react strongly once I can say a few words about the SEC holding four aces and having everyone in federal court. Please don’t take it personally."

As voluntary participants, athletes submitted to the bylaws and regulations of the NCAA but they still managed to destroy it via state lawmakers and courts.
The NIL was a no brainer for the courts to rule in the players favor as was the revenue sharing. It was the boosters with their "collectives" that
perverted the intent of NIL, not the athletes. The institutions gleefully went along with it in an attempt to gain competitive balance.

I'm not making the argument, Tom Mars, an attorney who specializes in college athletics is giving the legal opinion. Regardless, does LSU want to piss in the SEC's cornflakes for such a small, ONE TIME, gain of a few players? That imbecilic!
I'd love to tell the SEC to STTDB but that's emotional response rather than a rational response.

Hey Johnny.
Where was the first TRO granted against the SEC?
What about the first filing that the SEC has no power to penalize in that manner in defiance of a court order?

You could say this about the NCAA.

It’s not just LSU it’s also Texas and A&M…does the SEC want to piss off some of their biggest brands and money makers?

Don’t forget Kentucky

And it’s laughable that anyone thinks NIL was only perverted due to collectives. We have numerous instances of boosters providing “no show” offseason jobs in the old days, but somehow people were naive enough to think NIL wouldn’t be used as a really simple cover for pay for play by boosters whether collectives were ever a thing or not.

I'm not a legal expert but Mars is and this is his expert opinion. He stated in the Twitter post that it would anger many but this is how he sees it. Maybe a judge, appellate judge and SCOTUS would see it different. That's a series of legal battles. What happens if we act on a local judge who prohibits punitive action by the SEC and then an appellate court, at some point in the season, reverses the decision. Then LSU is holding a bag of shite, with Lane's suspension; forfeiture of revenue; forfeits and no path to the CFP.
Maybe you guys are lawyers too and know more than him.
I am just as pissed off at the media and conferences as you guys. The hypocrisy is off the charts. But, this only applies to a few folks affected by the arbitrary application of the 5 for 5 rule to exclude the 2022 athletes.
I just don't think it's worth the risk for a short term gain.

Mars isn’t involved in this case, if the legal team of the sec is sharing things with him that would be really stupid considering LSU has him so ate up that he is going to run off on Twitter.
No lawyer involved in the case is telling Tom Mars anything from either side.

I dont get the reaction to these NFL guys. The NCAA could have avoided this with an addition to the 5/5 rule that prohibits players from returning after signing with a professional team, but they didnt. Now the courts have made the ruling for them and the conferences dont like it. Stuff like this impacts not just the pro guys, but the conference's top returning player Chambliss. They would have been wise to stfu and let this play out this season and it would have been over. They could have amended the rule to prohibit pro signees from returning at a later time.
If the objective was for 5/5 to eliminate all of these retarded eligibility lawsuits, they've failed and possibly made it worse.

After the season. People don't realize this is a one-season issue. So it's not going to make a difference
Posted on 8/28/26 at 8:34 am to Higgysmalls
Yep all this over a one season issue because the 5 for 5 would fix this.

He's a moron. Go back and acquaint yourself with the absolute nonsense he spouted during LSU's courting of Lane Kiffin. He was wrong at every turn, but had the clicks from Ole Miss fans.
Posted on 8/28/26 at 8:43 am to tigerskin
I say Kiffin wins this one.
