I love how he made a claim, then pointed to something that doesn’t support that claim at all as proof.
It’s almost like these people have become unhinged.
The problem is people would rather just repeat shite they heard or read on here rather than doing just a little bit of research on their own. Landmass was all over the board yesterday talking about how the SEC is alleging that Lane Kiffin encouraged these players to file suit. A quick read through the complaint revealed that that was complete horseshite. Of course, when confronted with that information, he disappeared like a fart in the wind.

Where does that say anything about encouraging the players to file a lawsuit?

You said Kiffin encouraged them to file a lawsuit. That doesn’t say that you fricking idiot.

I said an appeal would be filed and a stay would be requested, and likely be granted at some point in the appeal process.
They have not even filed the appeal yet.
Patience grasshopper.

I would gladly join you in a class action lawsuit aimed at forcing an SEC school to put us on the roster. I would prefer Alabama of course, but even Auburn would be acceptable. Surely others here would like to join us on our quest to become SEC football players.
Sure, why not? If this podunk judge in Louisiana can quite literally order LSU to give these guys a roster spot, why can’t a podunk judge here in Alabama order both Alabama and Auburn to do the same for us?
Hell, why even bother going through the recruiting process any more? Instead, judges can simply assign players to teams every year. Imagine all the extra time coaches will have since they don’t have to bother hitting the recruiting trail during the offseason. The judges can sort it all out and just tell the schools who will play for them.

Except it isn’t clearly defined. That’s the problem.
Here is what the rule actually states.
quote:
The rule states SEC team are "not permitted to have an athlete on its roster who has:
1. Previously declared for the NFL, NBA, or WNBA draft, and did not appropriately withdraw.
2. Signed a contract with an NFL (or other professional football league), NBA/G-League, or WNBA (or affiliate) team.
3. Been listed on an NFL (or other professional football league), NBA/G-League, or WNBA (or affiliate) roster."
That is very defined. You not understanding it and you not liking it does not change the fact it is well defined.

Unfortunately, they can. And that is the much bigger issue here. It didn't start with LSU. It didn't even start this year. But it's a big problem and it needs to be corrected. I'm not sure the best way to fix it, but I don't think anybody likes the direction this is all heading.

1. You can't appeal a TRO. A TRO is put in place to prevent irreparable harm prior to the court having a trial on the permanent injunction.
2. Even if you could appeal the TRO, issuing a stay would completely defeat the purpose of the TRO. The TRO is put in place to prevent irreparable harm. What sense would it make to issue the TRO then immediately stay it?
You're out over your skis on this one.

Exactly.
We do not need to file in Tuscaloosa though. They ruled against Alabama and Bediako.
What are the judges in Opelika like? Are any up for reelection this fall who we could offer campaign contributions to? We need to find out how much in campaign contributions are needed to assure a win.

A contract refers to any document signed to participate and receive per diem payments from the NFL. Sankey admitted under oath that THOSE contracts don’t count. So what contracts, specifically, do count then? All it says is “contract”.
Oh wait. They didn’t bother to properly make the delineation in their hastily slapped together amendment to the rules. So Sankey admitting that contracts don’t actually matter, under oath, undermines that entire rule.
Then there’s not withdrawing from the NFL draft. None of the players already signed properly withdrew from the process.
Oh they “didn’t declare” because they were out of eligibility so it doesn’t matter? Same rule applies to Harris and Wright then.
The SEC backed themselves into this corner by not having their ducks in a row, and they were embarrassed, in a court of law, because of it.

Many people seem to be overlooking the fact that LSU voted in favor of prohibiting Harris and Wright from playing in the SEC. The SEC members voted unanimously 16-0 to pass a conference rule prohibiting players who have signed an NFL contract or appeared on an NFL roster from playing in the SEC. LSU voted in favor of the rule.
The judge in the federal case will absolutely use this to rule in the SEC’s favor. LSU’s amateur athletic department got cucked.

Exactly. This shite is getting insane. Everyone is all wrapped up in being for “Team LSU” vs “Team SEC”, but what is lost in all this hoopla is that (1) our beloved SEC is quite literally tearing itself apart and (2) what this is doing to the sport we all purport to love, namely college football.
Posted on 9/4/26 at 9:49 am to Darth_Vader
Agreed. Both sides probably wish they hadn't opened this can of worms right about now.

You are correct that a TRO cannot be appealed. But the TRO has expired. Judge Jorden ruled on the case and issued an injunction. An injunction can 1000% be appealed. And a judge can 1000% issue the stay of an injunction.

One of us certainly is. You are still talking about a TRO which no longer exists.

I dunno. But I’m good friends with the local judge here in Blount County. She’ll help us out I’m sure.
Posted on 9/4/26 at 9:52 am to captdalton
You're right. I missed that the hearing yesterday was the preliminary injunction injunction hearing. I thought it concerned whether the SEC would be added as a party to the TRO. The preliminary injunction will be appealed and I'm sure the SEC will ask for a stay. It will ultimately be up to the trial judge as to whether he grants it.

Players who have exhausted their eligibility are automatically entered into the draft. They can’t withdraw.

No, a player whose college eligibility has run out cannot withdraw from the NFL draft because they do not need to formally "declare" for it in the same way an underclassman does.
Here is a good article to help you understand.

No, LSU abstained from voting so actually vote was 15-0 with 1 abstaining vote (LSU)
Posted on 9/4/26 at 9:58 am to grich31
That was on the vote on the punishment. LSU did cast a vote on the rule.
