So they are using LSU as their guinea pig.
Sounds discriminatory.

Yeah, well the SEC got put in a situation where they have to do SOMETHING.
Because that Baton Rouge judge already decided the SEC was worthless…
Might as well see if Federal Court thinks so also…

So the SEC's position is we will file suit against LSU and have our members to vote on their expulsion for a rule they did not break?
You are ok with that type of leadership from the SEC?

That is really what you believe?
No, the NCAA is a voluntary association.
The SEC doesn't have a monopoly or anything that can be called as such to trigger anything related to anti-trust.

Even though the judge told the SEC to go away, LSU still left the players off the roster out of precaution. In a way, the SEC won. Their rules are being enforced (at least by LSU).

The only reason LSU didn't break the rule is because the SEC filed the lawsuit.

The Yahoo piece seems to argue that they've been in this place plenty of times, they just decided to go nuclear now.
Sankey being this reactionary can't bode well.
If there's no real evidence that LSU coerced these players into filing suit, and if they never actually broke any rules, the SEC looks like a bunch of clowns voting a founding school out on what they "felt" might happen. No one will be safe in that environment.

Doubtful, LSU was more worried about potential CFP repercussions than this ridiculous 1A suit that won't even stand.

Kiffin is on record saying they will comply with the SEC. And he did.

I don’t have all the information…
And I can’t rely on a biased person’s summation of everything.
It could be all Sankey, or it could be different schools driving it.
I really have no idea.

You do know that this started with a judge in Colorado, not Louisiana and a player who was on Texas’ roster last week not LSU’s?
Posted on 9/8/26 at 7:47 pm to Pikes Peak Tiger
Yeah. I’m aware of all that.
But Colorado judge didn’t decide the SEC cannot enforce their own rules.

He said he would comply with court rulings.
If he was complying with the SEC, they wouldn't have been recruited and practicing.

Ok, so you are just repeating the same thing over and over without actually understanding what you are saying.

voluntary associations are fully bound by antitrust laws. In fact, voluntary trade and professional associations face some of the highest levels of antitrust scrutiny because, by definition, they are combinations of independent competitors operating in the same market

Seems like you have taken biased people's information.
Posted on 9/8/26 at 7:50 pm to Veritas
In what way?

Seems like you are taking the MSM headline and running with it. Instead of actually understanding what has happened.

Section 1 of the Sherman Act covers agreements among competitors that restrain trade. The SEC is a joint venture of competing universities. Eligibility rules, membership votes, fines, and suspensions are concerted action.
After NCAA v. Alston (2021), sports leagues do not get a free pass. Courts use the rule of reason: is this restraint reasonably necessary to put on the product, or is it a way to punish a rival?
