Good thing they had no plan then and avoided the lawsuits

What we’re saying is that they couldn’t avoid the lawsuits unless they just eliminated all eligibility rules entirely, which would kill their entire enterprise.

Cool, just grab a random judge and just make your rules, league, benefits, costs, etc. This is what Trump deals with on the daily as well. fricking clown judges.

Then I just guess it can’t be fixed, you guys have all the answers it seems.

Shut it down

The entire enterprise isn’t sustainable without regulations that are enforced

Because it's been at the NCAA level, which has an effective monopoly on college athletics and thus NIL.

The SEC is free to make their own rules.


I'm interested to see just how independent the conferences are of the NCAA, per the upcoming rulings.

Against the NCAA? That's what I just said.

Idk, the SEC (and other conferences) trying to get cute and circumvent a court order by effectively making it impossible for the players to actually play without actually telling them they can’t play was never going to work. The court to me was just telling them you can’t create bylaws to circumvent a court injunction.

An injunction simply says "pause until we figure this out," not "you lose"

The fix is probably for college football to make a lot less money. A division 3 model.

Otherwise, they need an act of Congress.

Which would destroy college football, how is any of this a good thing? I don’t understand how any of this is good? Fans will start tuning out, the regional draw of rivalry will disappear, and there will absolutely no team loyalty which is what made college football unique. Being NFL light is never going to challenge the NFL but it will destroy college football

Yes, but given that athletic calendars run on shorter calendars than court cases, a TRO is effectively a loss.

I don’t see how any court is going to view a conference isn’t, at minimum, an extension or subsidiary of the NCAA. They wouldn’t exist without the NCAA. For instance, NCAA compliance issues are all over the SEC bylaws.

Yep, it's going to turn out just like politics

Who has the most sway with the judge at the top of this totem pole.

So yes it's all silliness

Demonstrably untrue since conferences predated the NCAA by decades.

It's just the natural path of things, this has always been what was going to happen. Even if it doesn't happen this specific time, it's coming down the track at some point.

This board has been overrun by dumbass crawfish suckers defending their degenerate coach.



not sure why you continue to act like this is an lsu issue. even the players we got after this happened said they were recruited by numerous schools and some were sec schools. ole miss tried to get back the tight end as did vtech . texas has a guy,arkansas had 2 guys at practice today . if your coach isnt trying to get the best players available by rule then hes not doing his job period.

your tone would change if yall got a player that helped you win . if its legal than you should be trying to do it
