Simmer down buttercup. Its going to be okay. No need to have an irrational hate for someone that doesn't affect your life in any way.

Nope.

There can't be a penalty according to the law. It's amazing you people are so emotionally crippled by LSU that you can't understand this simple fact. Perhaps an expert's explanation will help
There is no penalty to the player.

CFP denying teams with pro players participation will take care of this issue. Nothing those liberal judges can do about it

Finally had a chance to look at this.
Here is some Texas law context . . .
An ex parte TRO is pretty easy to obtain. The real test is whether you can keep it after the other side appears.
Reminder: we saw that in Waco two weeks ago. Tulsa National Little League was disqualified for using an ineligible player. The team obtained an emergency TRO reinstating it and ordering another Southwest Region championship game. Little League appeared the next day with its evidence and moved to dissolve. The judge dissolved the TRO, the disqualification stood, and Boerne advanced to Williamsport.
The Dallas order here is also ex parte which means the NCAA, SEC, and Greg Sankey were not heard. It is not a ruling on the merits. It is a 14-day emergency order entered after hearing only the athletes’ presentation.
FWIW, this one goes extraordinarily far. It effectively gives 41 plaintiffs another season, reopens the transfer portal, overrides NCAA and SEC rules, protects schools and coaches from penalties, commands nonparty institutions to act, and requires the NCAA and SEC to obtain the judge’s permission before declaring a plaintiff ineligible for any other reason.
Texas procedure allows the defendants to move to dissolve it on two days’ notice.
There are many defects here, but given the order’s failure to identify the irreparable injury or explain why notice could not be provided--as Texas Rule 680 expressly requires--they have substantial grounds to do exactly that.
The Little League case is a useful reminder: the first TRO headline often tells you little more than who reached the courthouse first.

You are 100000% correct and I really thought we were going to get both Chambliss and Lacy (I thought he and Berry would basically swap teams) until y'all beat Georgia and got to the Semis.
That win was even bigger than most realized at the time. It's why Ole Miss will be extremely solid again in 2026.

If tweet fails to load, click here. Pretty good analysis. Suing Sankey "in his capacity as commissioner of the SEC" is a pretty strange move. If your claim is against the SEC, then sue the SEC. The SEC isn't a governmental body where you have to sue the officers rather than the state due to sovereign immunity (Ex Parte Young case).
As with the Texas Tech situation, the ultimate hammer, which the courts are powerless to stop, is that schools can simply refuse to play LSU and there is exactly nothing they can do about it.
Now, I wouldn't expect any team playing a home game against LSU to do this, nor would I expect La Tech and McNeese to forego their payday, but the SEC schools scheduled to visit Baton Rouge (A&M, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Bama, and Texas) could simply refuse to play LSU if LSU intends to play an ineligible player. There's no way for a court to force these schools to play LSU for two reasons: (1) being state entities, they are entitled to sovereign immunity; and (2) TRO's and preliminary injunctions are almost always limited to prohibitions on doing something, as opposed to requiring a party to affirmatively act (a mandatory injunction is normally only granted after trial on the merits).
The SEC can help out by simply declaring such games a "no contest," like with Covid cancellations, so that the schools refusing to play are not penalized, and there's nothing a judge can do about that, so LSU would lose the vast majority of their ticket revenue, which would be pretty comparable to the penalties that the league was going to impose. It would also get into the pockets of Baton Rouge locals, who depend on gameday revenue.
Clemon could also bring this to a head next week, as they are scheduled to travel to Baton Rouge for a game Saturday, but they probably don't want to stick their nose in it. However, since LSU played the first leg of this home and home at Clemson last year, Clemson wouldn't have much to lose, beyond any penalty clause in their contract (maybe LSU has some draconian clause in there -- they certainly have experience with cancelling a contract).

Were there any players LSU involved with in the order you are so thoughtfully discussing?
Hint: there’s not.
This is a Texas filing. So either Texas or TAMU or OU are the teams you need to be discussing here.

I can promise you this, there is no lawyer that will be excited to go against Tony Clayton in Louisiana
He is by far the best trial lawyer for the state of Louisiana

Yes.
That is a separate case from the one that you cited.
The one you cited listed the SEC and Sankey and was in Dallas.
Now specifically what schools would be most focused on and setting kids up for a trial in Dallas.
Maybe the school that’s had a kid practicing with the first team for weeks that took NFL money?
Maybe the team that has a rostered G league player?
Or maybe the school just as close to the metroplex but just across the state line.

quote:My point is that the ultimate hammer doesn't involve a courtroom at all. You can file all the suits that you want, but, if the schools decide that they aren't going to put up with this nonsense, they have the means to stop it regardless of what any judge may try to do.

quote:Penalties are always retroactive. Are you going to penalize someone that has not yet made an infraction? If players are ruled ineligible in retrospect, then penalties can be imposed. My guess is vacating any wins that the ineligible player participated in. Y'all are making this way more difficult than it has to be.
retroactively levy penalties.

Chambliss is currently ineligible. Ole Miss is going to play him. The entire purpose of the TRO is that the courts rule ole Miss can not be retroactively penalized.
