So for instance these kids in the TRO that didn’t get to utilize 5 in 5 get granted eligibility by the NCAA, the SEC can still say they’re ineligible? But since they have ncaa eligibility they could go to the ACC instead? Or some other conference where they’re eligible.

The SEC really is too stupid to realize this is a one off transition year situation due to the new 5 for 5 rule. Sankey even admitted that on the stand.

There are two things going on here

The SEC has a federal injuction hearing tomorrow. Ultimately that is being done so they can supersede the injuction the players got on Friday. At its heart its the SEC trying to create some kind of ruling that trumps what these other schools are doing with their TROs so they can enforce their rules how they seem fit going forward

Then, its the vote on LSU. Thats where I just find this to be so dumb. LSU and the SEC are both better off together and the whole reasoning is dubious at best. LSU hasn't rostered the players and thats the whole point. Its stupid to try to bring some vote up that won't succeed so that they can punish them for something they may want to do but haven't done yet

Anyone else find it interesting that the various school leadership are calling themselves CEO’s, while they remain staunchly opposed to making players employees?

That’s the thing that gets me the most about all this.

We have had all these absurd TROs and rulings. Of all of them at least to me this particular one actually makes the most sense. Yet the SEC is pissed off about it and choosing this hill to die on for some reason.

No. Probably not. It just doesn't make much sense.

Sankey better hope they win the Birmingham suit.



He is about to look even more like an impotent weasel if lsu gets it thrown out which there are some who believe it will be

What friggin dysfunction?


We literally did what numerous other schools did and then complied when the SEC threw a hissy fit.



The hysteria over this is absurd

The lawsuit points to several other actions Murrill took at last week’s hearing, including saying “Geaux Tigers” to some media members, calling the SEC’s lawsuit “legal garbage” and criticizing SEC commissioner Greg Sankey.


The attorney general is added to the SEC lawsuit and the story had this quote. As if you needed anymore proof this is a personal hissyfit by Sankey and his wounded pride.

The only entity that would lose money in the long term if this actually happens* is LSU. 3-4 years from now the SEC would barely notice they're gone. They'll replace them with another big name football program and keep humming along. A separation would be a death blow to LSU athletics.

And they seem even more concerned that none of his supposed supervisors did anything to stop him.


this is why I cannot stand old school media in college sports.....

Stop him from doing what? Again, they act like Kiffin is out of control and doing highly illegal shite as they cheer him on.

This conference has repeatedly respected court injunctions after guys were declared ineligible. Why would LSU feel the need to "stop him" from doing something that has been accepted in the past? You say they're ineligible, the court says differently, there's some hem hawing, and we all move on.

His whole article is filled with pot shots at Lane.....you don't sound unbiased at all.

I've also just grown tired of university presidents that continually want to keep up the charade amateur athletes and academics in general, for football and basketball that shite went out the window long ago. So, let's stop the hand wringing and pretending to care about that.

Mandel has been posting through this the entire time, dude is solely invested in LSU getting the hammer on this

He had maybe the dumbest argument I’ve heard about this and said that the SEC should argue it’s a safety issue since these players had top of the line NFL facilities to train in bro needs to take a look at what SEC facilities look like these days

SEC facilities non withstanding....wouldnt they lose access since they didn't even make the practice squad? Like the NFL teams would just let them stick around or something?

I mean you dumb dumbs realize it doesn't happen that seamlessly, right?

You don't just kick LSU out, add UNC the next day, and move along business as usual. You're talking about a major overhaul, even if you voted to kick LSU out that would be only the beginning of lengthy court battles, then you have contracts to deal with in bringing in another school. Is this shite worth that headache?

Isn’t there some MASSIVE penalty for voluntarily leaving the ACC?


I thought that’s why FSU never left.
