SEC would be violating the Louisiana court injunction if they take punishment actions against LSU at tomorrow’s meeting.

No, because they wouldn't be voting based on rostering players (is what they'd be able to claim) they'd be voting based on Lack of institutional control

Which we know is bullshite, but that's how they'd spin it.

Nah because the protection was for rostering players.

IF they try to go ahead with giving penalties, it will be over “a lack of institutional control” or something like that. “Undermining the conference’s authority” is another angle.

They've already violated it. The damage to Clayton's clients is severe. There is certainly a case for contempt of court.

Plus, LSU technically didn't not roster the players because of fear of reprisal, they just chose to roster two other players who were already member of the team but not on official roster

(Is what the public talking point will probably have to be, this will also insulate the SEC somewhat, which is probably what the positive discussions between rousse and Sankey have involved)

Back off, and we won't make you look bad.

That's my interpretation obviously, I have no insider knowledge

The SEC can spin it any way they want.

The only person who will decide if the SEC violated Judge Jordan's preliminary injunction will be Judge Jordan.

You can’t spin explicit words. The enjoinment was specifically for punishments from rostering the plaintiffs.

The judge can’t just tangentially control all internal affairs from the SEC from that.

And how do you think Judge Jorden would interpret it.

Exactly, they showed all their cards scheduling a meeting specifically to “expel” LSU. If that isn’t retaliation, then idk what else to call it.

Do you think we wouldn’t litigate the fact that this is obvious spin based on the timeline + the fact this new claim appeared out of thin air?

They can try to spin. The great thing about courtrooms is that they don’t give AF what sports journalists think.

The fact Finebaum and others have publicly insulted the integrity of the LA judge is wild.

I can’t believe with how shitty Sankey’s testimony was, Finebum had the nerve to call it a kangaroo court. I was legit taken aback he would say that.

But I’m sure the North Alabama court is a paragon of integrity, competence, and virtue.

Wrong. The injunction is far broader, and court's look at substance over labels. The injunction prohibits the SEC from "enforcing . . . any SEC rule or proposed penalty against . . . any member institution or coach for which Plaintiffs choose to compete."

The potential remains for Judge Jordan to find that the SEC enforced a penalty against LSU related to LSU's actions concerning the two players. Such SEC action violates the PI.

Especially considering the SEC referenced the injunction in their federal tro filing

That’s my point. Their potential angle and filed case has NOTHING to do with the players.

Uhhh . . . the complaint in the federal case had numerous allegations arising from the 19th JDC case.

Hell, the SEC filed copies of the TRO and preliminary injunction from the 19th JDC case into the federal case.

The two cases are inextricably linked!
