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

To educate yourself:


Again, I didn't say voluntary organizations are immune. But anyway.

In what way are they don't anything that violates anti-trust laws?

Actually, I try to form my own opinions based on gathering information from different sources and determining what seems like the most plausible explanation

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?


How are the restraining trade?

Bro, if the presidents vote LSU out, this will end up with judges and attorneys. Nobody is going to just let this blow over.

You mean as far as damages or do you believe they’d be prevented from doing so?

That's all that matters when it comes to the vote. Everyone knows what Kiffin and Wade have been doing and pushing. Trying to make claims of "evidence" don't mean anything when it comes to these votes.
Now that bothers me. I have more faith in the SEC presidents, AD’s and their administrators than to think they’d act to expel a member program off some flimsy claims and not concrete proof of wrongdoing. These are highly educated and experienced leaders, they don’t make decisions like this on a whim.

, it's about the SEC being able to define its own standards separate of the NCAA's legal ruling.


The same SEC that let a 2 year pro basketball player play for Alabama basketball? SEC is fricked!

I disagree.

I think this is the old guard who still believes in amateur sports as a concept.

I don't know.

But I do know if that is the basis for things then it's to say - if you suck you can have autonomy, but if you have success then you are free to be gutted by the courts and those who use them.

In the end, I see plenty of competition and no effort by the SEC to undermine it.

The SEC makes it sound like LSU is doing something new and different that is on a different level than what everyone else is doing. Then, the Louisiana AG makes is sound like a bunch of old guys in a retirement home are just skipping their meds and screaming at clouds.

So why is the SEC holding a vote to expel LSU?

Because the other schools do not believe LSU has principles consistent to it's own.
