Isn't this a Texas District Court? Not federal. What jurisdiction does this court have outside of Texas?

It’s nothing like that at all.

Only real option Sankey had was to say teams that accept players will have a ten day window that existing players have to transfer somewhere else. It's not fair for a player to have transferred there thinking they would be playing and then having an NFL player take their place.

Doesn't really change the fact that the guy is a joke of a lawyer.

he Chambliss ruling opened the door to all of this


No, not by a longshot. Pavia ruling is far more responsible and I wouldn't even say it was the one that opened to door either. The Chambliss ruling is merely challenging the NCAA's decision on a medical waiver. That isn't a new thing in college football, has happened for a very long time. The use of a TRO after multiple appeals is new, but his case isn't the first to do so either. That dates back to at least 2008.

So when a court issues an order, people can just ignore it? No. It's effectively law


No, it is effectively a short-lived set of instructions. TRO's just halt things for a brief period due to a judge, sometimes incorrectly or sometimes correctly, thinking we need a pause on specific actions so an actual exploration of the matter can occur in very short order.

That is it . . there is no precedent or new standard or any long term change of any kind that occurs with a TRO.

Judges can, for example, issue restraining orders to prevent someone leaving the country in the run up to a trial. Is some new legal standard created where we are all blocked? Was a new law made?No.

Stop using the term "law" . . .you don't understand what it means.

You really think the SEC didn’t consult attorneys before issuing their position. Don’t be a fricktard.

Apparently, Sankey thinks it's pretty rock solid because he waived the white flag

Actually, that analogy was pretty apt which shows just how off base everybody is on this issue

The players were told their eligibility had expired then later changed the rule after the players had no choice but to try to make it in the pros. The courts have been consistent that the players have a legit grievance.

That everyone has to abide by or be in contempt - essentially law

This is exactly what Kiffin said all along and why it's so stupid that rantards have been losing their minds. This is a 1 time exception for about 4 dozen players that the NCAA left in the lurch. It's not nearly as big of a deal as the rant has made it out to be.

Regardless, numerous judges across the country are in agreement that the players should be allowed to exercise their eligibility.

It's essentially law and it's why Sankey was called as a defendant and why he has now backed down. If it weren't the same thing as "law" he wouldn't have surrendered

If they did, they need to fire them and get better lawyers becasue they lost, publicly and in a humiliating fashion. They acted hastily, got slapped down and had to publicly admit defeat

You might be right. These rulings might get overturned. Explain the process of how LSU would be retroactively punished for doing something a court allowed at the time. Hell, Michigan cheated their way to a NC and the NCAA did nothing.

Also, what will be your reaction if most of the top 15 picks up these players?
