It's wild that there are literally rules in place to deal with most of this and the conference just refuses to enforce them equally.

And then they wonder why the courts get involved.

LSU voted in favor of instituting the rule prohibiting former NFL players from playing in the SEC. It was a unanimous 16-0 vote.

These aren't former NFL players. They were automatically placed in the draft before 5 for 5 went into effect.

Which is why the SEC knows their case sucks and they will lose in court

I asked Chat GPT

quote:

NFL rookie minicamp and college football eligibility are generally separate, but there’s an important NCAA distinction:

* Simply attending an NFL rookie minicamp does not automatically end a player’s CFB eligibility.
* The bigger issue is whether the player signs an NFL contract, receives compensation, or otherwise becomes a professional athlete under NCAA rules.
* A player can potentially participate in NFL activities while retaining NCAA eligibility if the activity falls within an NCAA exception, but the details matter.
* Being drafted by an NFL team itself doesn’t necessarily mean the player has exhausted college eligibility.
* Once a player signs a contract with an NFL team or plays in an NFL regular-season game, the eligibility situation becomes much more complicated and generally points toward professional status.

For a college player who is invited to an NFL rookie minicamp but doesn’t make the roster, the key question is what exactly he did at the minicamp and whether he was compensated or under contract—not merely that he attended.

Yet told them to frick OFF on Christmas Day, and again when he showed up to beat the brakes off of them as Alabama's head coach

They were forced to sign. They wouldn't have if 5 for 5 was announced sooner.

Again, no need for SEC to huff and puff if they knew they had a winning case

Why you y'all do this every time? Nobody is scared, just like nobody was scared of Brian Kelly (who you also claimed scared the SEC)

I asked chatGPT.

quote:

Players are paid to attend NFL rookie mini-camps and teams cover all of their expenses. Under the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), participating players receive daily compensation.

How Payment Works
Daily Stipend: Rookies and tryout players receive a daily per diem depending on the exact agreement terms and player classification.

Covered Expenses: Teams provide all players with free housing, meals, travel accommodations, and medical care for the duration of the three-day camp.

Tryout Players vs. Draft Picks: Even unsigned players or invitees who are just there on a tryout basis get paid the daily per diem and have their travel and lodging paid for by the team.

I can answer this for you.

Rookie mini camp is a short, three-day event held after the NFL draft, typically for about 40–60 players (draft picks, undrafted free agents, and non-roster tryouts)

. While it’s not mandatory for all players, those who attend are paid under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
