I certainly don't blame the coaches for looking out for their best interest.

But the problem is everyone is only looking out for their interest and the interests of what's making them all very rich for coaching / being in charge of a sport is being totally ignored in the decision making

How could this possibly be your take? We’ve been in a TRO-fueled mania since 2023 at least.

The fix is probably for college football to make a lot less money. A division 3 model. Otherwise, they need an act of Congress.

This is Pandora’s box. If this holds, there are no rules going forward. You think you’ve seen wild shite this offseason, just wait. Unlimited eligibility is coming next. Four years and now five is completely arbitrary and based on tradition. Someone will find a local judge to throw it out the window.

We are absolutely nowhere near rock bottom.


100%

The NCAA and their subordinates (conferences) has never had any real power, but wielded it because they weren't challenged to the degree they are now.

Until they have a CBA in place, they will constantly be in violation of federal law.

I didn’t say it was realistic. College sports would have to fully break.

The “natural path” of things isn’t self destruction. It’s self preservation. What we are witnessing is the sport tear itself apart in real time

Fringe pros have now found another way to a pro sports career (in college). They’ll just keep suing.

The Chambliss ruling opened the door to all of this. Mitchell’s attorneys are going after the NCAA too. The SEC could have adopted the policy the BIG put out.

The SEC is a day late and a dollar short in their rulings. First they open the can of worms with the fifth year fiasco. If you do that it has to be for all, not some capricious and arbitrary ruling it doesn’t apply to 2022 entrants. Then players thinking there was no eligibility left did not enter the portal. Then they saw what was happening and got judicial rulings to enter the portal. Then Sankey and his merry band of morons invents their own policy and threatens schools with draconian measures.

This could have all been avoided with earlier disclosure of the fifth year of eligibility and made it currently effective. When you dither the lawyers step in.

So the SEC follows judges rulings for Pavia and now they don’t. Precedent is a powerful legal tool.

Let the young men and women play unless they have NBA or NFL contacts.

Demonstrably untrue since conferences predated the NCAA by decades.

I don’t know why you think this is relevant. The SEC joined the NCAA upon its formation. Regardless what things were 100 years ago has little to nothing to do with where we are today

Hardly.

Because what's next is a 2021 athlete, who's been cut by the NFL, saying he deserves a 5th year. Which some state judge will grant.

This really could have been an anomaly and the college football world would have moved forward.

It would have been LSU plays pro players which this board wants to be able to say.

Now the SEC and NCAA are going to be dragged through hell for further violation of antitrust laws.

I meant this was always going to be the natural path of things once people started using the courts to undermine the authority of the NCAA.

The NCAA is effectively powerless now and they're starting in on the conferences.

And youre still posting nonstop about LSU. Youre the only poster on here that legitimately is angry.

Even the OM posters have that air of a good jab about them, but you. Its just sad.

I know federal law is being applied, but what are the limits on a local judge’s authority on TRO’s compared to a federal judge based somewhere in Dallas county. I don’t see the Big 10 included, but I don’t know if that is specifically due to no presence in Texas or not. Big 10’s actions would still affect the players available choices.

Local elected judges overseeing and making decisions solely based on federal laws needs to be legislated away from any fed law it’s allowed. I have rarely read about local judges overseeing such singular cases based only on federal law, but these could be just a more newsworthy topic. It’s a little concerning that this will become a new political delay tactic where the local politics differ it’s likely appointed federal judges.

Will or can Ole Miss file a lawsuit locally to get an injunction on LSU playing these players in the state of Mississippi in support of the SEC and NCAA rules?

Reality is that this is all about the delay which is a crock in itself.

Legally, no.

But the way State Judges have been throwing shite around lately, I'd be surprised by literally nothing at this point.

It's even worse when you realize A&M has had a former pro sitting on their basketball roster for months.

ColoradoAg has always been a massive hypocrite though.

That would be an anti-trust violation by the State of MS
