re: Lane is forcing the NCAAs hand

I believe Lane is doing this to force some sort of leadership to step up and enforce rules with NIL, eligibility, etc. Nobody in the NCAA leadership has done anything except sit on there asses while the sport we love burns down.
The NCAA had very clear NIL rules and always enforced them. Then a bunch of bleeding heart fans, lawmakers, and courts decided to give you the chaos we have today. This is what a lot of you wanted, own it.
Does anyone else remember that year where the key or “paint” didn’t have any color, and everything else inside the three point line was purple? Probably early 90’s Shaq timeframe, but was interesting to say the least.

They can change their bylaws and say any team with players not approved by the NCAA or their Conferences are not eligible to be in the selection process and participate in the playoff. Its coming
Thats going to cover more players and teams than just LSU and the few it’s involved with.

When a person or organization joins a private association, they agree to follow its rules in exchange for the benefits of membership. Courts treat the bylaws as a valid contract.
I mean the players (person within his context) voluntarily agreed to follow the rules regarding the lack of NIL and pay for play, but that didn’t stop them from being able to find enough sympathetic lawmakers, courts, and judges to set us down this path.

I think the obviously bigger story is a power 5 conference being flagrantly biased toward one of its founding members.
It doesn’t matter what you, I, or we as the LSU fan base thinks.

The bigger story to everyone else is the intentionally exaggerated “LSU is getting NFL players on its roster” angle, so they are adding as much fuel to the fire as possible.

What I don’t understand is why there is blatantly selective coverage by the media
Because it makes for a “better”, more polarizing headline/story.

a compelling argument that Judge Axon should stay or dismiss the SEC's federal lawsuit to avoid duplicative, conflicting, and chaotic rulings right as the 2026 college football season kicks off.
That’s what the SEC wants, and for that reason it is probably what the judge will provide.

schools wanted to keep the money for themselves
:lol:

Good for these players and LSU for playing this out in court the same way everyone else across the country is, but this is a ridiculous line of thinking no matter how many times it is repeated.
No we wouldn’t be all for it, but they would be allowed to do it based on whatever local judge they could find and the SEC sure as hell wouldn’t fight and threaten them the way they’re doing LSU.

If it makes you feel better, the NCAA doesn’t crown the FBS champion anyway.

re: Is there any reason not to roster them

Even if other rulings go in the SEC’s favor could they do anything just for having them on the roster or would they have to appear in a game? Is it possible to add them to the roster then wait to play them after the other lawsuit to play out?
First major ref screwup of the season helps Colorado

ETA: Even worse than expected, since they didn’t even review the claim had to be forward progress was stopped :lol:
So now they’re saying it’s about a competitive advantage by scouting and not about the principle of pros coming back to college?

Yeah I think Elvedi for Rodon and Wilson for Brenda will be the only two changes.

One of them is practicing with the team, it seems like you should be able to infer your answer from that.
That’s great. It looks like a long shot to get someone in but we’re making up for it by bombing out all of the emergency spare parts as well.

look at map...the checkpoints are all over...
Right, but I don’t think it’s any different from last year. I do agree that with digital tags they probably need to clarify what the expectations are. It looks like they posted the traffic and parking reminder article on the website the week of the home opener last year.
Are you sure this is new? For years to cross Highland on S Stadium within a few hours of kickoff you’ve had to have your permit visible, and everyone else was forced to turn south.

Maybe now with permits being digital the process will be different, and I could see that possibly turning into a long backup, especially at that checkpoint.
