What happens if they don’t get the court rulings they want?

He must have had his wife write some really big checks to arrange for a presser in the early part of football season.

Will anyone show up for it?

Even if they get the rulings they want, prepare yourself for LSU vs the SEC round 2

They’ve clearly been practicing with more than 4 players. I guess the question is who will be eligible

A letter from WW:

quote:

It's almost time to be back in the lab. We are grinding and getting ready to go, and I want you right there with us as we kick off the season.

Join us for our annual Preseason Party on Monday, October 20. Starting at 1:30 p.m., you'll get an exclusive look at practice on the main court of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. I want you to see all the work we are putting in firsthand, and then once practice wraps up, come meet the team and enjoy dinner inside the Men's Basketball Practice Gym. This is a chance to connect with our guys, hear directly from our staff and be part of the energy we're building heading into the season.

Please RSVP by Friday, October 9.

We have a lot of work ahead of us, and I want our supporters locked in from Day 1. Join the Tip-Off Club today, and I'll see you at the Preseason Party on October 20. If you have questions or need additional information about the Tip-Off Club or Preseason Party, please email info@lsutaf.org .

Boot Up,

Will Wade

The SEC would then have to contradict itself, again, to continue this myopic fight that will eventually lead to its own demise as a conference as we know it.

There are numerous programs throughout the country with international pros on their roster, including in the SEC.

Some of the players have court rulings making them "eligible" to play, as is the case for several players across the country. Those guys didn't "declare" for the draft nor sign a NBA contract.

LSU has a freshman pitcher on the baseball roster who was drafted by Cleveland in the second round but chose not to sign an MLB contract. No eligibility issues per the SEC. LSU basketball is trying roster a player who was drafted by Cleveland in the second round but chose not to sign a NBA contract. Sorry, you can't play.

Per usual, the conferences/NCAA lack forethought, and they are trying to change things on the fly because they consistently lose in court (that's not just because of "homecooking". It's because the NCAA and conferences have poor legal arguments because they continue to try to pretend football and basketball are just "amateur sports" rather than billion dollar marketplaces).

Technically, it's not LSU's fight. It's Luis's. LSU can't stop him from moving forward. However, his case is the one I would concede. Keeping the others ineligible are fights that will require a lot hypocrisy and deferential treatment by the NCAA and SEC. Those are stronger cases

Would kind of be hilarious if he signs the ex ole mis TE who didn’t get to join the football team

They have four

But based on the roster pics, they all look eerily similar.

While technically correct, it became LSU's fight when the SEC threatened us with their fake explusion crap last time.

This is not worth Round 2 with Sankey. Especially considering Luis chose to forego his remaining elibility. It's a bullshite case and he shouldn't be eligible.
