The standard would already exist. Until another school formed the relationship with the players, they wouldn't be under the same scrutiny. I think at this point they couldn't enroll anywhere else, so the only threat is LSU.


Then the sec needs to apply the same punishment or threat to other schools rostering players with TROs where the ncaa ruled them ineligible.

Like the mini camp rejects and players that get a medical redshirt for tonsillitis when the previous school didn’t even support that assumption

Nobody who is seriously discussing this thinks LSU is actually at a risk of expulsion right now.
I don’t believe that’s what will happen either, but that’s irrelevant to my question.

Pretty sure the current one was against the NCAA and, after the SEC commented on the ruling, a judge added them to the lawsuit, correct?


It was the players

quote:

The drama started early Thursday. Late in the week, attorneys for the 51 plaintiff athletes added the SEC as a co-defendant with the NCAA. The SEC had come out with an updated dictate on previously existing rules regarding athletes who leave college to go to the pros. It stated that, as those athletes are not eligible to play because they went to the NFL, NBA, etc., any school that took them back and allowed them to play would face a litany of punishments. Among the list of punishments was a suspension for half the season for the head coach and significant financial fines for the school.

Not for this.

If we keep it up, I think it's on the table for the future, though.

Ethan Johnson is one of the 33 players on the TRO, signed by south carolina, announced by South Carolina on august 22

Also listed on South Carolinas roster


Also, Mark Mitchell basically did the same thing.

Based off of some emotional concept of “amateur sports”? No.

But I don’t really care anymore.

College sports died for me when the transfers and NIL aspects went out of control.

I have very little emotional tie to LSU at this point.

Ehtan Johnson works. Mitchell doesn't.

And if the SEC is granted its enforcement authority back, I'm sure USCE will be punished.

But Sankey doesn’t have personal beef with Shane Beamer, so “SEC is voting to kick South Carolina out” isn’t on every headline

That’s the crux of all this. That and the fact the players wanted to transfer to another sec school, and not return to their original.

They cited Kiffins halftime comment. A USA Today reporter mentioned the lawyers cold gumbo comment. They want an apology.

We both know this moved past the case at hand a long time ago.

Trying to find every loophole and focus on the greyest of grey areas in the rules is going to catch up with us. If that's how we continue to operate, and we run to state court judges to thwart the SEC, what do you think they will do?

We turned this into a circus because we let ego and emotions run things. I'm not arguing any differently. South Carolina isn't doing any of this. You're arguing against yourself at this point.

And I said if the SEC gets its authority back, USCE will face punishment. If they are found to have coordinated Johnson joining the suit, it will be more severe.

For example, recruiting 2 guys who had signed professional NFL contracts who clearly were not eligible by SEC or NCAA standards, and then claiming but-for the NCAA's non-retroactive rule, they would have never signed those contracts.

what do you mean “claiming?”That’s exactly what happened. That’s kind of a huge deal. They were wrong for excluding that class of players. No one disagrees with this.

I think when somebody says something that you should believe them. The SEC has repeatedly said they are ready and willing to kick LSU out of the conference if they don't fall in line. Believe them and be done with this.
