This is all just drama now. It’s a soap opera.

And you think that action would hold up in court as not damaging the plaintiffs?
It's going to be all or nothing. The players will be cleared to play with no repercussions on the schools or they won't be cleared.
There is nothing a court can do to force schools to accept players transfers or play them in games. If all of the SEC Presidents, coaches and AD's agree which they have, that they aren't accepting them, it's over.
All a court can do is say they are eligible, they cannot make LSU or Arkansas or Georgia accept the transfer/player. They will head to the ACC or BIG12 etc. The SEC and B1G are saying no and turning these players down.

The way to solve this would be for the SEC to break away from the NCAA and reach an agreement with the NFL and NFLPA. The SEC could allow players to go back and forth between seasons. Within seasons is difficult since college students are expected to be enrolled in classes but with online courses that could be addressed.
are you retarded?

Conferences are allowed to implement their own rules so long as they comply with the NCAA rules.

Are they also allowed to permit players ruled ineligble by the NCAA to play? Trinidad Chambliss is one such case. NCAA said inelgible yet SEC says good to go. Seems the SEC isnt complying with the NCAA in that case. Who has more power, the SEC over its participants or the NCAA of which the SEC is a participant? Seems the NCAA would hold court since the SEC chooses to participate in the NCAA. Same logic as schools choosing to participate in the SEC. Maybe the NCAA should threaten to ban the SEC from participating in NCAA sanctioned events for allowing ineligible players to play.
As Kiffin said, you can't choose which TROs to accept or not accept. Has to be one for all. Imo the SEC stepped in shite. While i agree with the rules implemented, they should begin with the class of 23. All 5th year eligible kids should be granted eligibility or none should as it pertains to the 22 class. And those 6th(also Chambliss) and 7th year kids should be ineligible.

So you're saying you don't know the details of the Chambliss case?
The Ole Miss alumni Judge in the Chambliss case prohibited the NCAA and the SEC from imposing consequences on Chambliss, the Ole Miss team, the university, or the coaches as a result of Chambliss being allowed to play.
The SEC had no choice in the matter.

Correct, but the TRO is not explicit enough to stop the SEC from doing this.

I agree with this.

I agree with this as regards the class of 22 who left for the draft this year. Not for kids who left after their junior year but simply could not make a team.

I think guys who got legitimate redshirts, like Max Johnson, who got the COVID year plus a redshirt plus a legitimate medical redshirt, should get this year. All of that will take care of itself after this year with the 5-for-5 and the age restriction.
I think the Chambliss situation is ridiculous, though. The NCAA needs to clarify a time limit for applying for a medical redshirt; I would say by the end of the next athletic season you are applying for.

Curiously, there is one major US professional sport league left out of that group.
C'mon Greg. Show your power! Go tell every SEC baseball coach to gather the scores of guys on their rosters who not only did not withdraw from the MLB draft, but were actually drafted, that they now have to leave?

LSU's president voted to impose sanctions on any school that plays someone returning from a professional league.
No court is going to force a school to accept these players.
They still have an opportunity to play in the MAC or Sun Belt.

That one league can draft players directly out of high school based on their collective bargaining agreement.
Alabama signed a pitcher from Canada in this last recruiting class that received very little attention from other colleges. We thought we got a steal.
Then some obscure MLB scout got wind of him and he was drafted in like the 36th round. He signed a contract with the MLB team to forego college.

Grab your popcorn, because none of this is getting settled outside of a courtroom.

It is strange how baseball has always been treated so differently
Posted on 8/26/26 at 8:57 am to Fun Bunch
Each one has been different. Basketball had its time in the sun for eligibility during the straight out of high school era right before the one and done rule came into effect. Football was always going to be messier more players more money.

A group of schools getting together and voting to block legally eligible athletes sure feels like collusion.
