You have a quote where he says it’s ok for other teams to play their guys who meet the criteria above but not LSU, do you have a link to that?

Did we coerce ours to sue the sec? Again, not the same situation but this is about lsu trying to take on the sec

Again not the same thing Texas player came back to Texas and didn’t sign the same contracts (if at all) the players lsu is courting did.
It doesn’t matter if they were the same contract. The rule simply says “a contract”.

Plus if proven lsu coerced players to sue and harm the SEC THATS what this is about. Why can you lsu fans not get that?
You do realize the Texas player sued the NCAA and SEC too, correct?

Why just LSU? The 5 other schools get to keep their former “pros”?
Because y'all are the only school accused of actively "recruiting" players from the NFL and encouraging them to sue for eligibilty.

Missouri literally played one last night.
So I’ll reiterate what I said in another thread:
LSU is not the first program to recruit, nor sign, nor roster, nor play a former professional athlete. They are the only school being punished for any of it though.
Funny how that works.

That's not true.
Your player did sue, and you better fricking hope the SEC's lawsuit gets dropped, because LSU absolutely will depose every member institution and we're gonna find out about every single pro that's played in this league since Sankey has been in charge.

No LSU should admit they fricked up

LSU did everything right. Sorry that you are too scared of LSU to see that.

They went back to same school, that’s a huge component where as lsu is courting kids from different universities.
Don’t think the ncaa or sec views the “contracts” that way at all, regardless of how you or other lsu fans feel.
I also don’t think Texas coerced or asked Cole to sue either. If lsu did and it’s proven that’s very different from a member of the conference. Player decided to sue that’s on him, college coerced or helping any way to sue the sec that’s very different

First of all, complete hearsay and "coerce" is a strong word, legally speaking.
I can completely make up that Texas did this too if evidence for these claims isn't needed.
Second of all, the players sued the NCAA and when the SEC changed language in their rules, they were added to the suit. It didn't start with the SEC on there.

So how did all these other former pros end up on SEC rosters?
By accident?

Completely irrelevant.

I posted this in another thread bit it does really seem like the best way out for all
Involved.

The real way out is for the SEC to just admit that the timing of the 5/5 rule was idiotic and abide by court decisions to allow the high school class of 2022 their 5th year of eligibility and drop the BS lawsuit vs Lane and LSU. Then fire Sankey The fact that Sankey os going after LSU over 2 guys who went to training camp but did nothing to Alabama for playing a guy who spent 3 years in a professional league shows a clear double standard and selective enforcement of rules. And, while a little different, the SEC took no action against Ole Miss far having a starting QB who in still ineligible by NCAA and SEC standards but is still playing after winning in court. Seems if the SEC took no action in those 2 instances, it is going to be hard to legally defend going after Lane and LSU. Not even to mention the other half dozen or so players in the SEC from the 22 class that spent time in NFL minicamps that the SEC is ignoring

Do you truly think lsu is clean here? Or that lsu did the exact same thing Texas did and your getting screwed?
Posted on 9/4/26 at 12:12 pm to CatfishJohn
It’s absolutely relevant. Why is it irrelevant?
Posted on 9/4/26 at 12:12 pm to TexasWranglers
LSU is clean. I know that hurts your little feelings.

I met Mrs. Skankey with my brother in Atlanta at the 2019 SEC championship game…
She looks just like Dean Wourmer’s wife! You nailed the likeness very closely with that picture…
My brother and I had a 10 minute conversation with her and told her how LSU fans are tired of getting screwed over by the SEC, her husband, and all the favoritism at the SEC headquarters because the people who work there are all Alabama and Auburn alumni…
She denied the allegations, and said that if we walked the work spaces of the SEC headquarters, we would see people working there from schools throughout the SEC…
I looked her dead in the eye and said, “Ma’am, I don’t believe you”… then my brother and I, left her presence..
My brother, and I remained really calm & respectful when voicing our complaints, however, Mrs. Skankey was extremely nervous and we could tell that she had never been approached or talked to like that before, meaning, my brother and I implied corruption within the SEC headquarters and it disturbed her even more that we did not believe her regarding the neutrality of the people that were employed at the SEC headquarters.
During the time we spoke to Mrs. Skankey, commissioner Skankey was being interviewed by some ESPN show up on a circular stage…
My brother and I feel somewhat responsible for Greg Skankey’s hatred of LSU, because we bet our left testicle that she went back home and told her husband about the conversation we had had with her while he was being interviewed on stage…
We brought up the Patrick Peterson interception call…
All the holding calls that are never called against Alabama when we play them…
And, grand theft, Auburn…
