Why is the SEC defying the NCAA?

Seems like LSU fans outsourced all their critical thinking to ChatGPT with predictable results.

That explains why he is the only national media member who seems to have any empathy for LSU in this latest dumpster fire they lit.

Just LSU ? The Aggies, UK, Mizzo, UT, all have former pro players waiting to become eligible, 91 players across the country. Coach Kim Mulkey has signed 2 former European professional players, from Spain & Russia, last year one from the Ukraine. Coach Will Wade has one from Isreal.....why are they eligible already?

This is similar to the Bama playing the G Leaguer last year. There were threats that Bama would have the games he played in not counted, but in the end, they were just threats.

LSU or any other school/coach could then take the SEC to court and sue them for punishing them for playing what at the time was an eligible player.

Could the SEC try and implement those punishments? Sure. Would they win in court? Likely not seeing as the injections make the players eligible.

If the trial happens mid season like in the Bama case last year, and the player loses, the school would immediately get my need to remove the player to avoid penalties. That would make sense.

People need to stop bringing up Trinidad and Bediako: those were NCAA only cases. The SEC has no rule against 6th year players. They do have a rule now against NFL players and the punishment is against the school not the players which means it can be enforced even after the player is gone


So the SEC is creating inconsistent rules based on eligibility at the NCAA level, which seems discriminatory and likely to lose for them.

The rule they made already is bullshite when it only covered being pro in certain sports and not others. Also, only included certain pro leagues and not others (ie international pro leagues).

It was a stupid move and the fact they didn’t set rules against cheaters and liars like Chambliss using courts to get extra years will be heard in court. This is a Pandora’s box the SEC and Big Ten opened and I hope they get skewered for their pathetic inconsistent and bias behavior.

The ideal scenario is LSU plays them. Still lose to Ole Miss A&M Bama and Texas and then Kiffin gets suspended the second half of the season and lsu gets hit with a $50M fine and gets the shittiest schedule in the SEC for the foreseeable future with zero voting rights.

The whole point is the SEC is a separate entity with its own rules. Like how the SEC prevents intra conference transfers sometimes even when the NCAA allows it. Another example would be schools having stricter academic standards than the NCAA. Schools and conferences are allowed to disqualify players even if they would be eligible according to the NCAA.

The SEC did not have a rule this spring banning pro players, so Bediako only had to sue the NCAA. Now the SEC has a rule so they are able to enforce it if they win in court.

SEC could create a rule banning Trinidad, but they didn’t which is their choice as an independent conference.


It really isn’t as complicated as LSU fans want it to be

Blah blah blah, LSU and Lane sucks. LSU won but they will forfeit games. LSU isn’t gonna get in trouble but it’s only bad when they do it.

However, whether those players are actually eligible to compete is a different matter altogether.


The courts have deemed them eligible. Gonna be fun when NFL rosters are cut down next week. Everyone with room will be inquiring about these guys.

The CFP playoff could make it clear that any team that plays pros isn’t considered “amateur” status and isn’t eligible for the CFP
