re: RJ Luis granted injunction

Any interlocutory order or even a final order (under more limited circumstances) can be amended.
Thanks for clarifying. Then we might see something early next week?

Soooo are we good now with RJ Luis or still no?
Luis is out under the SEC rule. Unlike the football players who were under a TRO that could be amended, Luis is covered by a preliminary injunction, which I don't believe can be amended to add the SEC under Louisiana law. Maybe someone with more knowledge of Louisiana law could clarify.

He is a class of '21 recruit. He redshirted, played 4 full seasons, was drafted 59th, and is looking for a 6th season under the 5-for-5 rule :casty:

lol if Brice Dessert is returning to Europe LSU sure doesn’t know ab it , as he has been in town for a bit and practiced all last week . Not sure where your getting these “rumors “ from but unless something’s changed he’s enrolled and on campus
Various Euro basketball accounts, so take it with a grain of salt. It simply could be that people are reading too much into him being listed on the '26-27 Anadolu Efes roster.
Also, word is he still hasn't paid his buyout, which is to be expected since the NCAA hasn't cleared him.
Neither of them runs afoul of the SEC Pro rule, so they are both good to go under the court order.

It’s not an NCAA pause. The statement was the SEC is going to comply with the existing injunctions and other court orders related to eligibility of players. Stated differently, the SEC is not going to implement its own eligibility requirements when there are court orders already in place. This would apply to RJ because there is an existing injunction in place that he is eligible.
Under the new policy adopted by the SEC this week, RJ would be ineligible. The league is now saying that it will comply with existing injunctions against the NCAA without the requirement that RJ name the SEC as a party.

No doubt the facts of his case are different, but the SEC statement still applies to his case.
Do you have a copy of that statement? The only thing that I've seen is that the NCAA is only obeying the current court orders for the specific players covered under active injunctions and TROs, I have not seen anything indicating an NCAA wide pause of the rule.

And that's why the players in question will be play this year without a single consequence...
Trying to penalize the universities from bringing them back was a huge mistep
If they had implemented the new rule in Janaury, Chambliss and many others out! and these 2022 players would be in college, not needing an attorney
but the NCAA put out the rule too late, and now you have a mess only a judge can make you clean up
The NCAA appealed the Chambliss case to the Mississippi Supreme Court, and the court left the injunction in place.
So, if the various 5-for-5 TROs are converted to injunctions and the injunctions survive the appeal process through the respective state Supreme Courts, then yes, they will play.
However, the NCAA is currently 3-0 on appeal.

Chambliss
Is playing under a preliminary injunction. As in the 5th-year senior cases, the NCAA must obey the court order.

By the SEC bullshite policy he's actually not, because he entered the draft and didn't withdraw. He tore his pec at NDs pro day which I didn't know till recently, regardless, he never pulled out from the draft list.
But there is language in the rule that would make him ineligible. For the record I think all 2022 that thought they were out of eligibility should be able to play this year regardless of "pro" status.
Just pointing that part out about their bullshite newly added policy
The draft stipulation only applies if you leave school early and enter the draft. Otherwise, every 5th-year senior who has finished their eligibility would be ineligible under the NCAA rule. Junior Tuihalamaka is 100% temporarily eligible under the protection of the TRO. However, if a motion to stay is granted, then he would revert to being ineligible.

So his client, who is in bad faith lying about how tonsillitis cost him a year, is okay?
Mars is a POS, so this is no surprise.
The NCAA appealed the case all the way to the Mississippi Supreme Court, which denied the NCAA's subsequent appeal to block the lower court's decision. At each step, it was determined that the medical documentation was sufficient to let the case proceed,
If anything, Mars is well positioned to comment on cases against the NCAA.

That’s why I’d be telling any school that is considering putting a former NFL or NBA player on their roster they will likely regret making such a risky decision - one that will probably be career-ending for anyone who was willing to take that gamble.
I've been saying that these players won't play because the legal risk isn't worth it. I guarantee that LSU leadership is hearing the same thing from its counsel as what Tom is saying in his post.
It would be retarded to have a roster that can get you in the playoffs and then find yourself sitting at home b/c you played a 2nd-string TE and backup DL.
However, anything short of "Muh! LSU does what they want! Play the Pro Players!!" is frowned upon :lol:

Prediction: ASSUMING the Thursday ruling if favorable to the players, they WILL be on the LSU roster and Kiffin WILL put them into games...maybe not the first game or two because they haven't practiced with the team and don't know what kind of shape they are in
That's certainly a possible outcome. I could see them playing if an injunction is issued on Thursday that still includes the SEC, and it survives the appeal process through the Louisiana Supreme Court, and the CFP doesn't ban pro players.
quote:
Don’t need them. Risking too much. They’re not that good
Prediction: they won't play them. In fact, they might not even roster them.
The legal risk is just too high.
Even if an injunction is issued next Thursday (likely given the Judge), the NCAA will appeal, and a motion to stay will most likely be granted, and then players will be ineligible again. No point in going through the various scenarios, but a lot of them end with the SEC issuing penalties.

If tweet fails to load, click here. The only way to protect against that is not to play them or even roster them. Guaranteed behind closed doors, this is the advice that LSU leadership is getting from counsel.
re: Will the 105 player roster limits be changed with the extra players added this late?

The new rules allow for 105 players in the program on full or partial scholarship. LSU has listed 112 players on its current roster with a number of walk-ons being grandfathered in and not counting against the 105.
If LSU were to bring in four or five players, it’s likely that roster casualties would come into play and underscore the ugly side of this situation.

Why wouldn’t the SEC statement apply to the Luis case? My reading is that it absolutely applies to the Luis case.
The SEC statement says it will comply with court orders on eligibility (even if not a named party).
I haven't seen that statement, but Heitner issued this clarifying statement:
quote:
“To be clear, nothing requires any school to roster any player,” Heitner wrote. “However, if the school decides it is in its best interests to do so, the court order should provide sufficient cover. And to add additional clarity, such cover only exists when it comes to rostering players who are named plaintiffs in the action that includes language in a court order prohibiting the conference from taking action against the institution and its coaching staff.”
However, I still don't see LSU playing any of these players because of the potential legal risks.
