It isn't going to be dropped. Do you think the other 15 members are just going to change their stance and issue LSU a hall pass? Not likely. Start with boycotts. And if that doesn't take care of it, expel the trouble makers.


33% of those 15 members have already signed a former “pro”.

Sankey Drawn and Quartered

Every feckless, hypocritical AD at any school who has ever had a player aspire or play (Alabama) on a pro roster publicly flogged

"pro" defined as someone who has made actual Pro Roster.

Let me see if I’m keeping up with LSU fan points.

Sankey will be fired.

SEC federal lawsuit will be tossed.

We have to follow the law.

Good luck with all those thoughts.

The easiest, BY FAR, is SEC drops their lawsuit, these players play under TRO like Chambliss, the NCAA and conferences change the threshold for pro to "you must withdraw your name from the draft ahead of deadline" going forward, and we all move on and this is never an issue again.


If a school can find a local judge to overrule SEC rules then it would be an issue again…

If the SEC loses the case, then conferences will basically cease to exist because they will have lost all autonmony.

It will be a wild west of free agency without any real rules.


So? It’s already Wild West free agency without any rules.

The SEC allowed Ole Miss to recruit a player that was enrolled and in classes at Clemson.

This is going to be very hard for the SEC to prove especially after yesterday when they couldn’t define their own rules in testimony. The SEC bylaws do not supersede court orders.

The burden of proof is on the SEC and they must prove that no other school engaged in the same behavior.


I'm just not sure how else to explain it to you guys, but the court case is not just another edibility case at a higher level.

Did Ole Miss force a rule change that made that legal for everyone?

You keep repeating this like it actually means something.

The lawsuit will be tossed or dropped.


In which case LSU will be removed from the conference.

Lane and LSU are out here coordinating a massive attack through various lawsuits in various states, with many non football athletes.

That's quite the conspiracy theory.

No reason to waste any more time explaining it to them. They are choosing to be blinded to justify what they want to happen.

That is never going to change in general with all rules - see Chambliss. The SEC lawsuit against LSU has nothing to do with that.

And the case the players made this year for their TRO is much easier to defend/win because of the timing of all of this 5/5 crap.

-SEC drops suit
-Players play /rostered (who really TRULY cares about these guys) - LSU is compelled by courts to roster them
-Change definition of pro to "included name or didn't withdraw name for NFL draft" for future years
-Move on

ETA:

I'm responding to the question for the easiest path forward that is most peaceful.

No.

What rule has LSU forced the SEC to change?

Be specific.

Wrong.

40 players sued the NCAA. LSU was interested in 2 of them.

It wasn't an exception like the ones you mention, it was a large change in rules for the entire conference.


Why not get the conference to enforce rules equally upon everybody all at once?

LSU's legal efforts to roster former professional athletes have forced the SEC to defend and enforce its strict rule banning players who have signed professional contracts (such as in the NFL) from returning to college athletics.

All eyes turn to federal court in Alabama as SEC tries again to ban former pros from LSU roster
