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


Already covered that in my post:

Oh they “didn’t declare” because they were out of eligibility so it doesn’t matter? Same rule applies to Harris and Wright then.

It is LSU versus every SEC member, even LSU.


Every one of them, HYPOCRITS

They made a rule after three players were rumored to be coming to LSU. AFTER, NOT BEFORE. All of the SEC teams have used players in some sport that can be considered "professional'.

Everyone of the schools, and Greg Sankey included, trying to pin this all on LSU and now take a stand can kick rocks.

I dunno. But I’m good friends with the local judge here in Blount County. She’ll help us out I’m sure.




The guys down at the co-op are never gonna hear the end of my college football career. One guy loves to brag about winning a Alabama high school 4A state championship. Well sorry buddy, you just slid down the pecking order.

The SEC can make whatever bylaws they want BUT those bylaws can be overturned in a court of law.

The SEC members can vote 16-0 that players do not have to pay state income taxes on their NIL money. But a state is still going to collect those taxes.

Courts supersede the SEC at every level.

There were two votes.

One was held on whether to enact the actual rule prohibiting former pro players. It passed 16-0. LSU voted in favor.

The second vote was on what the penalties would be for breaking the rule. It passed 15-0. LSU president Rousse abstained.

That makes me think that Rousse knew that LSU was going to break the rule.

That is what this fight is all about and why the members of the SEC are fully invested.

This ruling means a local judge in Baton Rouge can tell Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, etc. how they will govern their own university in a different state. The members of the SEC will fight this to the end not just because of the impact on sports, but because it sets the precedent that a local out of state judge can rule on who universities can admit as students. It threatens the foundation of the entire university, not just their athletic programs.

Not so fast my friend. Sankey already answered every question needed under oath. He can’t change it now.

Buddy, LSU's not on our schedule. I'm not worried the least bit about LSU. The NIL and transfer portal are ruining the sport that I have loved since I was a kid, and Kiffin/LSU are taking steps to accelerate that ruin. I couldn't give a rat's arse about LSU. It's what LSU and Kiffin are doing to CFB that I care about.

Its sad to see. You guys are losing your minds over universities/organizations that don't know you exist or care about you. You've had some of the worst melts on this page, lol.

Do you think the SEC is going to add Missouri to the federal suit? I believe a Missouri court ruled that Missouri had to admit and roster a player that is otherwise ineligible under current NCAA rules.

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.


If you read the suit LSU told Wright and Harris they were terminating their agreements due to the SEC rules so the judge added LSU to the lawsuit meaning the players currently have a court order AGAINST LSU. Legally LSU has followed the SEC rules and done what they are supposed to due. The media has just done a very poor job of covering that.

Signed a contract with an NFL (or other professional football league), NBA/G-League, or WNBA (or affiliate) team.


To compete In a Rookie camp you sign a waiver. That’s a contract. To compete In the Combine you sign a waiver. Also a contract.

Explain the difference based on your criteria
