Why is the SEC contesting the lawsuit filed in Louisiana and not the one in Texas?

They arent contesting in the traditional since.
They have to go defend their position because they have been ordered to show cause in Louisiana.

Not really. If the SEC wanted to concede or not contest they could do so in multiple ways, i.e. not show up, consent to the relief sought. The TRO was issued without a hearing. Thursday will be a contested hearing on the merits. I think the SEC is unlikely to prevail given the previous decisions of other courts.

The press release I saw said they would.
My question is why are these lawsuits only involving the SEC and not the Big10 who started this conference line in the sand thing.

Has a rule for contempt been filed? I have not heard anything about that. In what manner has the SEC violated a court order? In fact, the most recent news is that the SEC will abide by any court orders.

They are used to LSU folding like a bitch. See the Will Wade firing fiasco. Now with the new leadership and Governor involvement LSU is fighting back. They don’t like that. Let them try to make an example.

The judge issued a show cause because they created their rule after the ruling against the NCAA and it directly conflicts with the same relief the players were given.
I.e. it has the same effect... and that was the intended impact of the rule.. and like I said, it was made in response to the TRO.

That’s not how civil procedure works.

The judge also signed a show-cause order that requires the SEC and NCAA to explain during Thursday's hearing why the new penalties associated with their pro athlete rules, which plaintiffs' attorneys described as "draconian," do not put them in contempt of court and in violation of the judge's previous ruling in the case.

The SEC will appeal in that case. I don't believe the SEC will let this go. They wouldn't hire outside counsel from NOLA if the SEC were going to cede this case.
