They will appeal for a stay of the injunction (assuming a PI is granted). They will, with virtual certainty, lose that appeal.

I have not heard anything about that. In what manner has the SEC violated a court order?

The judge also signed a show-cause order that requires the SEC and NCAA to explain during Thursday's hearing why the new penalties associated with their pro athlete rules, which plaintiffs' attorneys described as "draconian," do not put them in contempt of court and in violation of the judge's previous ruling in the case.

We are recklessly playing with disastrous consequences by abiding the law?
By believing the SEC and Sankey when they say they will abide by the law?

Listening to some of you, one would believe LSU is the party facing Contempt of Court charges next Thursday, rather than Sankey and the SEC. :casty:

If the SEC wanted to concede or not contest they could do so in multiple ways, i.e. not show up, consent to the relief sought.
With a contempt of court hearing in the offing, not showing up would be an odd choice.

the SEC not wanting a precedent of pro players coming back to college.
There is no precedent in a one-off case which, by-definition, is isolated to the 2022 entry class. That is the problem the SEC and NCAA face in the injunction battle. Their damage is limited. The players' damage could affect them for years.

E.g., Suppose Pyburn returns to LSU, has a kickass season, and gets compensated well for it. Then he gets drafted next year, which would equate to millions more.
quote:

but they already granted the injunction i thought?
They did for Luis (though only against the NCAA. Luis's injunction existed before the SEC jumped in with its new rules),

The FB players are working with a TRO which expires Saturday. The injunction, if granted this Thursday, will extend the TRO actions until an actual trial occurs. But a trial date would not occur until the season is over, which would render the whole thing moot. At that point, the plaintiffs (the players) would have no basis to continue the case, and the thing is over.

Lawyers like Tom Mars claim the SEC and others will bring the case to Federal Court, the Federal Court will stay the various state injunctions and/or set a trial date in an extraordinarily expedited manner, and reverse state positions in the matter. As this player action is a one-off, and essentially goes away after 5-for-5 kicks in. The vastly disproportionate harm is to players side, which points to any court, federal or state, acting deferentially in favor of the players.

re: The END game - CFP committee

The END game - CFP committee
The CFP Committee will find its butt in the same Contempt of Court vice that squeezed the SEC.

This is a problem solely of the NCAA's making. The writing was on the wall as soon as the NCAA changed its rules. If the Conferences, or CFP Committee want to FAFO and jump off the cliff with the NCAA, it is certainly their prerogative.
quote:

he NCAA is required to appear on September 3 and show cause why it should not be held in contempt of Court for the violation of the Court's order by the SEC, which has been deemed a person acting in concert and/or participation with the NCAA.

This got real for Sankey in a hurry. I wonder if the SEC will retract their "new rule" prior to September 3rd, or simply make it applicable for the 2027 season onward. Either way, the LSU abstention looks more prudent by the hour.
quote:

Is the CFP committee the ultimate nuke on NFL players in college ball?
The NCAA created this mess. But what's done is done. The good news is it is a one-year one-off precept. However, it can still get worse for them. If the NCAA, Conferences, and/or CFP continue to double down on enforcing the NCAA's capricious 5-for-5 screw-up, they might eventually FA&FO.

The courts have consistently found for NCAA players in terms of antitrust. If these organizations do force players to sit out, labor lawyers are going to have a field day. The NCAA et al could be looking at a massive class action suit.

With losses to Ole Piss, Auburn
Given the schedule, I am surprised at how many folks have us losing these two.

I think we win the first three. As bad as we were last year, we were one or two injured Nuss throws from a win in Oxford. My gut is this team is 2-3 TDs better than last year's squad. I am concerned about A&M coming off of OleMiss.
