If a player has done any of these:
Signed a contract with a NFL team.
Appeared on a NFL roster. Preseason or otherwise, it is still an NFL roster.
Played in a NFL game, preseason or regular season, it is still an NFL game
Just make it a blanket attempted to make an NFL roster or made the 53 man roster/practice squad and call it a day. Why should players like Wright be penalized for making it further in the tryout process than someone like Hutson.
It should be all or nothing and not the picking and choosing that’s going on right now.

The Bediako mistake got handled. Albeit Oats was let of the hook very lightly for the games he played.

Have any of these players finished the season with LSU? Maybe we should just let this play out and see what happens.
But I raise you another question. Was Alabama forced to vacate any wins or otherwise punished in any way for playing an ineligible player for 5 games?

And do you think Oats cares about what ESPN or some journalist says? He tried something and it did not work, but other than people bitching what was the blow back? If it worked and he wins the Natty he would be laughing to the bank.
I don't recall the SEC Commish and every president making this issue the last stand. I have no sympathy for the adults in the room trying to outbid each other at every turn. You are missing the big picture, and I'm sure it's mostly because of how hard you are leaning into this issue emotionally. That's a YOU problem.
So you know, I have zero respect for this trash product called college sports in Tuscaloosa and everywhere else. Others on this site have voiced the same concerns ad nauseam, and somehow LSU fans have instant amnesia about all these countless threads from hardcore fans of every school for years now. We don't need more problem children we need some solutions.

I think it Could open Pandora's Box. Allow it this time. What prevents someone from challenging the 5 for 5 rule in the future?
Its not like the NCAA is batting 1.000.
There is another component to this. The SEC is testing its governance as an independent body as if it may split from the NCAA. If the SEC can't govern its bylaws, then splitting from the NCAA won't work.

So you are saying Bediako, filed the lawsuit and enrolled at Bama without ever discussing this with Oats?
Why not. LSU fans are lined up around the building to tell us LSU has nothing to do with any of this even after Dae’quan Wright practiced with LSU yesterday.
Lane Kiffin says ex-NFL player practiced with LSU football Monday
quote:
BATON ROUGE — An ex-NFL player practiced with LSU football on Monday morning. First-year LSU coach Lane Kiffin shared with reporters Aug. 31 at his weekly press conference that tight end Dae'Quan Wright went through his first practice with the Tigers. "I can tell you that Dae'Quan practiced and the SEC knows that," Kiffin said.
He is correct, the SEC is very aware of that.

Why should someone who punches someone else and kills them be penalized more than someone who takes a swing at someone and just grazes them? They both just punched somebody. It should be all or nothing. Right?

I am not emotional at all, I think the way all of this is going down is ridiculous. It is the outrage that all of a sudden things that have been going down is now LSU is trying to cheat when everyone (LSU included) has been doing this for as long as we have been alive.
I hope none of the "pro" players can play, but this is an NCAA issue not just LSU

Doesn't matter. The red line is once they go college is over.

More delusion.
Nothing about NIL/Transfer Portal is "all of a sudden." When this entire college sports masterpiece stops working, that may very well be "all of a sudden."

Not to worry, we haven't reached Cajun purgatory yet. I'll wait till then before I jump.

No. Regardless of how much people have bastardized it, pay for play is still illegal in college sports.
Profit sharing exists.

If you read my post above it is clear Bediako is who filed the lawsuit to regain his eligibility, not Alabama or Nate Oats
Based on the LSU logic that is expounded here - that LSU has nothing to do with these NFL players filing suit - then Alabama had nothing to do with the Bediako situation.
Except Alabama played Bediako in games, LSU hasn't played anyone yet.

1. everyone is sick of college football's bullshite. NFL players coming back to play in college seems to be a reasonable line in the sand to most fans.
2. everyone is sick of the constant transfers. Players that declare or move on to the next level should no longer have a choice to come back. We are sick of the players being babies.
Transfers need to be limited. Revenue sharing needs to be transparent like an actual salary cap. No show NIL needs to be penalized. The playoff needs to have permanent rules and respect strength of schedule etc….
Everyone is tired of it all and we need a real governing body to actually govern. NCAA and ESPN and bad actors like Kiffin will ruin the best sport in America if something drastic isn’t done right now

Can Someone Explain This ...
It's simple. These other slimeball institutions are adding these players to their rosters, but keeping quiet about it. The fact that Lane has said he would add them to our roster, gives the media more shite to write about before next week's games. If Lane had never decided to add them to our roster, there'd be no issue, the players would play, and it would be business as usual, and every one of these crying little gals on here knows that's true.

It was ridiculous for Bama to play Bediako and it was shut down quickly. Is that what LSU wants? To play some player for one game? Bediako had far more precedent to play(as CBB has plenty of former pros) and it was still shut down. Why would LSU then think that this situation would work out for them? Its just more attention seeking by Kiffin I would bet

This is debatable, since the season has not started yet, and final rosters have not beeen turned in yet. Just like LSUs final roster is not due until day before game 1. How is one considered to have been a part of a team that has not been made final yet? Preseason games are just glorified scrimmages. An NFL player is one that has made a 53 man roster, until then you are just trying out for the team.
Also, frick these kids, AmIRight?? frick them for wanting to continue to play football. As long as LSU gets punished, frick those kids trying to get as much playing time as possible. Can't say its just a game anymore, as football is how they make their living - I cant imagine kinesiology or a criminal justice degree from Ole Miss makes much money (If they even have their degree)

They signed a contract with an NFL team. Pretty clear.

Bediako was shut down by a judge, not the conference.
Hence the problem, the conference is being just as inconsistent as the NCAA so they're starting to have the same problems.
