My guess is LSU had some type of agreement in place and the judge is saying honor it

Might be why sec is mad we are telling them cool rule but we have a contractual agreement

I still don’t know what gives him such power though.

Crazy. Same thing that happened to Mizzou.

That's why the SEC has filed a federal lawsuit, and will retroactively enforce penalties.


And they are now on record on penalty of perjury saying that they cannot define what “professional” means and that their own Rule 12.9 does not rule the players in the LA lawsuit ineligible.

Someone please point to what law gives a judge this power. I’m asking this honestly because I’m not a lawyer. What law gives this judge such sweeping power?


Not a lawyer either, but the constitution give the judicial branch the power to make decisions which interpret the laws.

I guess the power comes from law enforcement who can detain and arrest people on behalf of the court if these laws are not followed.

The court ordered LSU and the SEC to roster the players.
LSU isn't a party to the case. Any attempt by the judge to order a non-party to take some affirmative action is not enforceable (prohibitory commands would stand a better chance). There's just no argument that LSU is legally compelled to put these guys on the roster. They are doing it by choice.
