Per Charlie Hanagriff. Said he sourced that from a high level admin at LSU.
Frick the expanded playoffs anyway.
Still I don’t think the CFP could take any action, but that doesn’t mean the LSU admin might not want to be cautious.

The only real issue LSU has is the CFP committee. I say don't give them a reason. We had a really good team BEFORE trying to add them.
I don’t think the CFP could take any action, and their personal liability in taking action would be huge IMO. It could be both criminal and civil.

Good rule of thumb, if a guy is a lawyer who has time to shitpoast on twitter all day, he's probably not a good lawyer. Tom Mars doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground.
There’s multiple sports lawyers posting on social media about this. In a legal scholar way it’s super interesting. Mars is one of the few that holds the opinion that the SEC will prevail.
I’ve seen multiple former professors posting on x about this. Oddly a professor of civil rights was posting about the SEC bill of rights claims.

For that matter why was the NCAA ruled against so many times? It’s a voluntary association of members with bylaws. Yet it lost all ability to enforce said bylaws after court orders.
How many times has the NFL, MLB, and NBA been sued by players, coaches, and owners?
Bounty Gate was resolved via a lawsuit against the NFL for action taken by Goodell. The players were originally suspended, but the suspensions were removed.
re: When did you buy your first house and how much did it cost?

First house in early 2011 for $225k sold it in 2018 for $475k.

isn't an accurate number. The last 2 administrations have rewritten the rules on what counts as "unemployment."
Worked pretty closely with BLS people over the years. While the revisions seem complicated or deliberately misleading to someone unfamiliar with statistics/data collection the BLS did a great job.
The government is good at collecting data.

thought federal government jobs didn’t pay well but offered good security and benefits. I guess that doesn’t apply to DC.
For the older generations that was the case, then the public sector started advocating that they were losing the best people because of pay. I used to be involved in creating public/private wage analysis reports. In most cases public got paid a lot more.

We don't have anything planned on things to do so I figure I would ask you all if you have any suggestions on things to do/eat/drink in the South Beach area as well as Key West and the surrounding areas/cities in the Keys?
The Just a Few Friends Festival is in its second year (?) and is a Jimmy Buffet kind of tribute every LBD weekend. It’s much better than the “meeting of the minds” that used to take place after fantasy fest.
Most of the suggestions hit all the top spots. Blue Heaven or Banana Cafe for breakfast (though I really enjoy dinner at BH as well)
Lattitudes is a decent lunch voyage. I often go to Pepe’s and then to the Bait Shop for a few. The Bait Shop is across from Half Shell. Day drinking has lots of options, Conch Farm has somehow gotten more tacky. My favorite is the Tree Bar mostly because of the people that hang there regularly like Big Ed from the Tuna or Jay “the bacon” man.
Hanks is decent, but it’s changed a lot. Smokin Tuna will be open 9/3 after a two year legal battle. It’s opening where Hard Rock used to be. I’m sure Cliff Cody will be playing all weekend.

The drive to Key West from Miami sucks
I get doing it once out of curiosity but it really does suck.
Conferences as governing bodies are almost done as it is. Multiple admins at P4 schools around the country have expressed that the usefulness has just about ran its course.
One non-SEC school has said they plan to package streaming content of basketball games and keep all the revenue.

All economic analysis on TD is always centered around fast food. How much of this stuff do you all eat?

keep my refrigerator at 34 degrees, yet I can't remember the last time a gallon of milk was still good at the expiration date printed on the jug. Last night, Aug 28, I poured out about half a gallon with an expiration date of Sept 3 because it smelled bad when I opened the jug.
I’ve noticed milk sometimes not making it to the date in recent years, but I don’t recall milk having dates that are 3+ weeks out years ago as where that is the norm now.
Btw, I like near end milk out of the carton. Milk tastes a bit better as it ages.
I’m aware of a few people that died from colon cancer that did not get a colonoscopy for financial reasons.
In one case the individual really couldn’t afford it and in another the person was being cheap and waiting for a new insurance plan to kick in.
Either way people shouldn’t die because we as a country don’t value preventative medicine.
Jesse Waters on Fox just recently said if you’re healthy you don’t need health insurance or need to go to a doctor.

Enrollment may be the only true barrier left to eligibility. Drop/Add is still open, but how do we know that these people weren’t enrolled a few weeks ago?

If discovery shows the SEC, NCAA, schools or conferences coordinated to boycott these players, this could become a massive antitrust case with treble damages, injunctions and people losing their jobs.
I’ve mentioned in other threads that a section 1 violation of something like collusion to restrict free market labor is also criminal with a max of 10 years in jail and $1 million in fines. I’m guessing someone in legal whispered that to Sankey.
Kavanaugh warned them in Alston.

He's too late. Amateurism in college football is dead
Odd that he’s so angry at LSU fans over this issue.
Ironically, the protection of amateurism was the defense the NCAA used in court cases going back to the 1950’s. They only allowed 1 nationally broadcasted game on tv for that stated reason. In1984 when the NCAA still limited tv games to rough 40 total games aired on barely 3 networks amateurism was the stated reason.
Recently the courts have rejected this argument and have collectively ruled that the NCAA has to follow US laws. No going back and it’s not fault of LSU, CLK, or the judges.

I am sure LSU has enough scholarships to add Pyburn and the other names mentioned in recent reports who make not make their NFL rosters. But didn't the full scholarship limits increase from the 85 it was for a long time also?
All those metrics have changed.

Do scholarships even matter anymore? Ill give you enough NIL to cover schooling and then some, which wouldn't need to be much for him.
The House settlement replaced scholarship limitations with roster limitations. Every player on the roster can have a scholarship. There’s basically no more walk ons.

hat are you talking about? You are blaming people for tempting the Feds to get involved when you completely ignore that the Feds have already been involved and have a bill constructed.
I think a congressional bill is a better solution than a CBA. I don’t know of a third remedy available.
My issue with the legislative action is that I don’t think the legislators really understand the assignment. Also if Congress is going to give any regulative body almost unchecked authority of college sports, I’m not sure the NCAA is deserving of that role. I’d like the legislation be something that blows up how college sports are managed and by whom.

So you want the College Athletics Agency under the auspices of the EEOC or the DoL? Because that's the logical outcome of this mess. Along with a new Players Union with CBAs.
Once it was determined that being a student athlete is a job the whole argument became about labor law. All the cases are being viewed through that scope.
There’s a situation where under a CBA it would be illegal for state schools in Texas and Alabama to participate. That would be freakin hilarious.
