And here we go...

Scone has Tony Clayton coming on next...

Judge granted preliminary injunction that forbids LSU from not rostering

He was planning on hopping on plane to Spokane but that's TBD now.

Tony is taking depositions over the next few months, probably 7 or 8 months to get it to trial..

The judge is daring the SEC to try to intervene with LSU rostering and playing RJL

arbitrary and capricious

We're sorry Commissioner Sankey, we tried not to and they forced us.

So, if this at some point gets overturned, do we now face repercussions for an ineligible player?

Clayton on AFR said Sankey has no say so And he best stay away Not saying Sankey was behind all of it “ but all roads lead to Sankey”. He said you allow foreign players who play pro ball ( 91 players) to play college but not American.. and it’s not right. He played G league and never played pro ball He also said anything Sankey does we will match it. GEAUX TONY!

Weird that there is nothing recent about this that I can find. Did this happen this afternoon? No reports anywhere.

That plays well for the SEC.

quote:

Unfortunately, Luis is probably screwed as far as suiting up in P&G. The Federal Hearing is in six days.

LSU's argument for dismissal of the Federal Case is rock-solid as things stand now. LSU holds the case is moot because LSU has complied with every SEC rule, no matter how capricious or potentially contemptuous to the La Court.

That remains the case as long as LSU does not roster/play Luis.

Here is the bind:
If the court tomorrow issues a strong ruling for LSU ... roster him or face contempt, the Federal Case is no longer moot. The SEC will argue LSU will break SEC rules (even if it is d/t a court order). That ongoing case will effectively lock Luis out, even though in the end, I think the SEC loses.

If there is some lesser finding, but Luis is found eligible (the likely outcome) LSU will not roster Luis for the same reason. If the Federal judge dismisses the Birmingham case, and Luis then plays, the SEC will immediately refile its Federal case.

I don't believe it works like that Tony.

He's just trying to do what he can for his client. Probably will try to turn it into a civil suit. Will Wade already said they'll follow the SEC's rules when it comes to this.

That's great that they will stick it to Sankey, but something tells me LSU will have to deal with some backlash.

Until the injunction is available, I'm gonna go with the idea that they cannot force LSU to roster a player.

LSU isn’t going to roster him without the SEC agreeing to it. We just aren’t going to risk it

Tony is parsing words. The judge ordered that the SEC can’t punish LSU for rostering Luis - he didn’t order LSU to roster him, which he wouldn’t have the power to do. And we also don’t know what the Fed court can or will do in the future.

Look, I wanted Luis as much as the next guy. But we appear to have a good team. And we now have the #1 class signed for next year. I say we let this one go and not jeopardize the future.
