An SEC team is legally allowed to do so, they'll simply pay the fine that's levied by the bylaws they voted for.
Sounds good to say, that will eventually fall though.

If a court can tell a private organization - that isn't violating laws or protected status designations - how to operate its own organization ... well you're talking about a landmark case.
Do not see it.

It gets into different territory when a private organization starts colluding against athletes to limit their earnings.
If the P4 conferences operate in lock step with the NCAA, as with this case, they're effectively an arm of the NCAA.

Because baseball players don't declare for the MLB draft.

There's no collusion here. Collusion requires intent to defraud or decieve.

Especially as conferences change.
If all of the conferences come together to make a rule preventing this, how does that work when it comes to collusion between entities and the concept of “monopoly”?
This all was inevitable when the first lawsuit passed.

Seriously, though, what law? An injunction is not law, nor did the SEC violate the injunction.

What makes this extremely dicey is that the schools and the conferences are not paying this money. Private entities are.
Fundamentally it's like me suing Paramount because they haven't cast me in a blockbuster, costing me millions in endorsement money.
I have to prove two things: 1) that I actually could have made that money and, critically, 2) that there was no other avenue for me to do so, that these organization(s) worked in congress to deny my potential earnings
That's much harder than the NCAA cases, and worth noting that the NCAA barely put up a fight.

Depth is nice. Hype is more powerful. I think it was a win win regardless of outcome. Those guys aren't playing and no rules were broken. LSU football is the most popular talking point in the game atm and Sankey is dumb af. We will see what happens tomorrow and Thursday but the argument that the halftime comment was a breach or displayed lack of control is laughable

Look, all I am saying is that, if you went back 10 years and told me that this is what college sports would like today, I would have told you that there wasn’t a chance in hell of this happening.

The NCAA and its member conferences are attempting to circumvent court rulings by forcing penalties on member institutions if they sign certain individuals, effectively barring those individuals from the market.
It's why 5 for 5 will eventually be struck down. None of this is based on any law, it's just tradition and whimsy.

Right, because it makes so much sense to allow people to play collegiate sports for 10 years as long as they're a "student".
It has been determined that you cannot restrict these players.
People wanted to blow up the old system, well, this is the outcome.

1) It's an injunction. It's saying "hold while we figure this out"
2) The NCAA is not a party to any of this
