Technically still false. You still are required to enter yourself into the draft.
I don’t believe that you are required to enter the draft if you have no eligibility remaining.
Players that have exhausted college eligibility are automatically entered into the draft pool and cannot opt out.
NFL Player Personnel Staff make the determination on eligibility.
The rule is there to avoid having players attempt to skip the draft and roll right into free agency.
I suppose if Trinidad’s court case extended beyond the NFL draft date, the NFL may not have cleared him with the pending ruling.

never declared for the draft
Because he was magically granted an extra year by a sobbing sympathetic judge who happened to be an Ole Miss law alum
There is no documentation of medical treatment, injury reports, or a medical condition from Ferris State that explained why he didn't participate in 2022. Only "yeah, he saw our trainer and a local doctor who treated him."
There was never a medical redshirt and so the NCAA correctly declared he was out of eligibility. Ole Miss judge says nah, so he forgoes the draft.

You guys can say this until you are blue in the face, but he was ruled ineligible due to NCAA rules. That's precisely why he had to get a judge to override the NCAA.
Yall can say this until yall are blue in the face too. Trinidad’s case against the NCAA is different in almost every possible way. But hey, if you want professional athletes playing college sports set
as the precedent, that’s on you. Just know you are in the minority.

But the SEC draws the line on Louisiana judges?? Make it make sense
Sankey is in over his head and needs to step down. His inconsistency has been detrimental to the league
You are right, I think LSU should play those kids no matter what.

It doesn't really matter what the public feels, Chambliss is in violation of SEC bylaw Article 14.
There's no question or argument about it, he's in violation of the bylaw.

Well if LSU feels that strongly about it, they can get the 14 other SEC schools involved and fight the Ole Miss injunction.

The other SEC schools are putting us on double secret probation

Nah, they're just going to try to force the SEC to choose between enforcing its rules or not.
You don't want to enforce your own eligibility rules? Fine, you get pros playing in your conference.
Do you really think this is all about a backup TE and a DT that is fat, injured, and doesn't know LSU's defense?

Yes it says it right there in their lawsuit

Bediako played maybe 4-5 games before being denied an extended preliminary injunction (after playing professional basketball).
Yet Alabama wasn't threatened with getting kicked out the SEC.

It is about the players, for them.
I'm talking about whatever LSU's involvement is.

No he is.
The NCAA ruled him ineligible. The Ole Miss judge ruling allows him to play. He is only eligible because of a judge.

He's eligible because of uneven enforcement same as LSU. Glad to know we are eskimo bros again.

This isn't really true. Legally, he was granted a medical waiver by a MS court and the state supreme court upheld their decision, denying the NCAA's appeal. The ruling said he met the requirements for a medical waiver.
Under the rules at the time of his case, article 14 allowed for medical waivers to extend an athletes eligiblity to a 6th year. So, legally, he is not in violation of the article.
Now, we can debate until we are blue in the face how legitimate or not his medical claim actually is (i think it is garbage), but unless a higher federal court overrules that state supreme court, he is not in violation of Article 14.

No he wasn't. He was granted an injunction vs the NCAA, allowing him to play while the case is pending. A court can't issue an NCAA medical redshirt.
As far as the NCAA is concerned, he's ineligible today, which puts him in violation of SEC bylaw Article 14.

Is LSU isn't orchestrating it and it's purely some players trying to get eligibility, I think Lane just sees the opportunity to get some easy depth.
If LSU is orchestrating it, I think it's a power play to try to force the SEC's hand into fair assessment of eligibility rules.

How many times are yall gonna make this exact same thread, get the exact same answers, repeat the exact same arguments, etc. Just relax, football is a few days away and it won't matter.
