I’m just on the side of stopping the chaos in college sports. I don’t really care about the outcome of the LSU/SEC lawsuits. I hope this situation will spur some change to rein in the chaos, though.

I’m on neither side. Or whatever side is having rules and enforcing those rules on every occasion.

Can we keep a running tally of how many stupid threads you start everyday?

I'm on the side of everyone gets 2022 players or no one.

If the SEC loses the federal case, it's pretty much the end of conference autonomy and the entire thing will be even worse than it is now.
Schools will be taking pros whenever they want and generally doing anything they want. Because the SEC and every other conference has lost the ability to decide for themselves who is eligible and the conditions for that.
Which is why they are being sued by the 1st amendment.
This has never happened in the 93-year history of the SEC.

I'm on the side of being entertained.

If you read the suit LSU told Wright and Harris they were terminating their agreements due to the SEC rules so the judge added LSU to the lawsuit meaning the players currently have a court order AGAINST LSU. Legally LSU has followed the SEC rules and done what they are supposed to due. The media has just done a very poor job of covering that.

I am against the NCAA and SEC arbitrarily picking when and who the want to punish. I am also on the side that the 2022 recruiting class got fricked over and they deserve to play this season wherever that may be.

Agreed

The SEC has never been told that they can’t enforce their rules by a court before? Not ever?
You sure about that?

I'm on the side of the athletes who, due to either hidebound bureaucracy, incompetence, or intent, were denied an extra year of eligibility that has been afforded to just about everyone who graduated HS since 2017 and will be given to everyone going forward.

Do you have a job?

I'm fine with that. The NCAA could stop this whole mess by issuing a blanket waiver for every 2022 player to return for their 5th year of eligibility, as long as they haven't been on an NFL 53 man roster.
But I think the NCAA wants all this chaos because it helps their case to pass the Protect College Sports Act

I am over lawsuits and Injunctions in College sports. However, acting like this is an LSU issue is being intellectually dishonest. I am hoping this results in permanent change that allows for Governance going forward and eliminating the possibility for injunctions to become eligible. Operating in the grey is not a good thing.

The OP and every National Media refuse to be honest because it is against their agenda and narrative.

There have been specific exceptions made by courts (wrongfully IMO), however nobody has ever used the courts to openly defy conference rules and force them to be changed.
You didn't just make a player eligible; you forced the SEC to change the rules and made it so they do not have the power to decide who should be allowed to play in the conference.
Anyway, wait and see.

I'm on the side of LSU/Kiffin getting fricked, for the LOLs

Again, LSU didn’t do any of this.

Current SEC rules require that a player be eligible under the NCAA eligibility requirements. So all of the players in the past that were ineligible under NCAA rules were also ineligible under the SEC rules. Then guess what happened? Those players got an injunction from a court declaring them eligible. Explain how that's different here.
