Doing something like that would actually take leadership and some balls. Nobody making any type of decisions in college football has shown those traits in a long time now.

Sure.


That’s speculation, not a legal argument. If you’re claiming that LSU administration and Lane Kiffin “called them up and encouraged them to sue,” then the burden is on you to produce evidence of those communications—not simply assert that it happened because they supposedly didn’t like the situation.

Even if LSU or Kiffin discussed the eligibility issue with them, that does not establish that LSU or Kiffin directed, authorized, or caused the lawsuit. Discussing a legal or eligibility dispute with an affected party is not the same thing as instructing that party to litigate.

If you have actual evidence that LSU administration or Lane Kiffin told them to sue, produce it. Otherwise, you’re taking an assumption about their motives and presenting it as an established fact. That’s not how evidence, causation, or legal analysis works.

lol, I love the OM fans, "my player getting a TRO is way different from your player getting a TRO. You are evil and everyone in my org is a saint."

I just wish you could see how hypocritical you are. But it goes way over your head.

Nothing I said was “socialist speak.”

I suppose when comprehension isn’t your strong suit, blaming the language is easier than admitting you’re lost.

The CFP isn’t a governing body and the courts can’t tell them who should and shouldn’t participate in their playoff

It would be like a judge in Cleveland filing a TRO against the NFL for excluding them from the playoffs because they are discriminating against a team with too many losses


STFU didn't a center from Florida sign to y'all after he played pro basketball
Fkn hypocrite.

Quit fricking crying.

Amateurs get paid $6MM a year? Don’t take my word for it though. Here’s Merriam-Webster’s definition for amateur

Merriam-Webster defines amateur as a person who engages in a pursuit, study, science, or sport as a pastime rather than as a profession, or someone who does something without professional skill.

Key Definitions Noun (Pastime): A person who takes part in an activity for pleasure rather than for money.

Noun (Skill): A person who lacks experience, competence, or professional training in an activity.

Adjective: Engaging or engaged in an activity for enjoyment rather than financial benefit.

They could establish criteria to make the playoffs and include something about the roster. That would probably work.

Prejudicing a school for following a court order would be interesting.

To compound it, creating a rule in real time while these court orders are ongoing would not look good for the CFP.

Kid is allowed to play and get paid.

But to be eligible for the CFP you must have a roster that does not include any players that either declared for or was a part of any non NCAA football league or team.

There’s no legal right to be in the playoffs.

Timing would be off but if over the next year they established clear criteria that might work. What team would take a kid if it meant being excluded from the CFP?

I agree with you, but I think the problem is timing.

I’m curious to see if the CFP makes an official statement.

I’m wondering if they might hold off based off the SEC presumed compliance with the court order.

This is turning into a be careful what you say because you will be a part of this also.

CFP getting involved may shine a light on their perceived independence from the NCAA

Not sure if they’ll actually do anything but they could come out and say “no teams with these players will be considered for the playoff”.


How far do they take that? Do "these players" extend to anyone who has been ruled ineligible by the NCAA?

The CFP is made up of individual conference representatives. Any decision made would directly tie back to the conference.

They have a public perception of independence, but they are not independent from the conferences and subsequently the NCAA as the conferences are members of the NCAA.

The CFP is clearly an agent closely tied to and associated with the ncaa, just like the conferences. All of this overlaps in one way or another. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot. There is too much money involved with all of this for any group involved to completely pretend they are an independent and/or separate entity that is beyond the reach of courts.
