Tennessee loses player for two games for $400 of flights for NFL workouts that he ultimately paid back.

LSU brings in player that was in the NFL to start preseason, all good.

The NCAA has only themselves to blame for their Byzantine rules and arbitrarily enforcing them

To your knowledge, what rules has LSU broken?



Bylaw 12.2.3.2 — Competition With Professionals

An individual becomes ineligible if they sign a contract or play on a professional team in that sport. The NCAA strictly separates professional leagues from collegiate athletics.

Dae'Quan Wright signed a 3-year, $3,125,000 undrafted free agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on May 1, 2026, which included $50,000 guaranteed and a $25,000 signing bonus.

Yeah, that doesnt apply to him now...
quote:

Wright was among a group of players who sued in a Louisiana court, saying a new NCAA rule granting five years of eligibility to most athletes should apply to him and others who were not “grandfathered” into the rule, which did not include those who graduated high school in 2022.

The judge in Louisiana allowed for the fifth year and also ordered the football transfer portal, normally open only in January, to reopen for a week for the players in the lawsuit.

So, no rule has been broken here either.

An Alabama fan literally started a thread because he scratched his arse at practice.

This is big business. I cannot fault LSU taking every opportunity to gain an advantage. Force the powers that be to change the rules, act like the Dallas Cowboys before the NFL was forced to implement the salary cap.

SEC rule saying players can't transfer after the early (only now) transfer window within SEC?

Getting Dae'quan Wright, if he actually suits up and plays, doesn't make LSU villainous. No rule is being broken. If more teams had open roster spots, they'd be trying to get players too.

How "good" is it for college football when O.Miss' starting QB is in his 7th year? Thanks to a Miss. Judge's ruling?

He's in his 6th year, which isn't that uncommon and hasn't been with medical redshirts for decades.

Max Johnson is 2 years older than Trinidad and is still playing college ball.

As much as this board talks about LSU, it must be.

This is the one people should really be outraged at. He just isn't good enough or at a big enough school for people to make it a thing.

I don't consider LSU to be a villain right now.

I consider LSU more of a side show and the only thing missing are a few circus clowns and seals jumping through hoops.
