When did LSU file anything?

No. A court is. Exactly the same scenario. Except that Chambliss had no argument for why he deserved more eligibility.

Chambliss was a ruling that allowed a single specific person to be eligible. The league was not forced to change its standards or rules to accommodate.


Yes they were. SEC bylaws say to play in the SEC you have to meet NCAA eligibility requirements. Chambliss does not meet them.

That’s a forced rule change.

Still waiting on you to provide the lawsuit LSU field to force a rule change.

The entire federal court case is built around the premise that you drove it all behind the scenes.

Whether that’s true or not remains to be seen but I suspect disclosure is going to make it pretty apparent what happened.

Why's that? If it achieves the outcome you want. All I'm saying is LSU is the ONLY school, Kiffin is the only coach being accused of recruiting and coercing. Surely the SEC suit would be stronger if it was determined that more schools did the same thing involving 30 former players and their rule wasn't to single out ONE university but all in the conference.

Why would LSU get involved with a bunch of non football players and kids going to other schools? Wouldn't their players just file their own suit?

If LSU was coordinating this, how would they even get connected with the other kids?

You know you can google things to prevent yourself from saying stupid shite right?

This is what it would have told you:

The specific rule passed to stop Nick Saban is the 2018 NCAA Former Player Practice Ban.

Prior to this rule, Saban took advantage of a loophole in NCAA Bylaw 14.2.1.6, which allowed former student-athletes to participate in organized practice sessions on an "occasional basis".

Saban weaponized this rule to build a dominant scout team. For example, he brought back former Alabama stars like quarterback Blake Sims to emulate Clemson's Deshaun Watson, and running back Trent Richardson to simulate LSU's Leonard Fournette.

The Rule Change

Frustrated by Alabama’s competitive advantage, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sponsored a proposal to shut it down. In April 2018, the NCAA Division I Council officially voted to ban all former athletes from participating in practices at both the FBS and FCS levels.

That would mean LSU drove 300+ athletes to file this suit. You think that they came prove that?

With the way social media is these days, all it takes is for one player to do something and it spreads like wildfire. I'm not saying that LSU is responsible for all the athletes suing, but it started with one or two. How do you think a class action suit gets started?

Then the SEC’s lawsuit is DOA.

You have to be a little "slow". All it takes is the TWO players LSU recruited and coerced to spread the word in what they're about to do and what do you know, now there's 300.

Not if it has proof LSU did the things they are accusing them of. Just TWO players.

Typically, the attorneys solicit the plaintiffs in class action suits.

I'm curious to see what this looks like, as the players initially sued the NCAA, not the SEC.

If they had proof they would have sued LSU directly for it. Instead they buried it in legalese and tried to cover it under “recruiting” so they can go on a fishing expedition.

Not gonna happen.
