Legit intelligent humor.

The SEC rules don't punish the players, they punish the schools and coaches. What would they sue for?
You'd think by now these dumb motherfrickers would finally get it, but apparently they don't.

No, that school didn't want you. These schools want these players

I understand but you are waffling, your original point was implying that LSU orchestrated judge shopping, which is not illegal and your own institution has benefited from it.

If you can't see how that decreases the earning potential of those players, I can't help you. Watch what they are about to argue in court

They don’t want them if they’re going to get fined for it.
I would also argue that the coaches want them way more than the schools themselves, which is why they voted unanimously. The coaches need to win to stay employed. The schools themselves have at least a slightly longer term view.
ETA: the players in question are also eligible for a league that could pay them way better. There is no argument for the SEC being a monopoly in this case.

Obviously, the argument is unlike him being unqualified/lacking the metrics to prove he was qualified to go to Harvard-all these players are qualified to play in the SEC-and in fact have done so successfully. .

My original post was this will play out in federal court.
I never said LSU judge shopping is illegal - it happens every single day in basically every single jurisdiction in this country.
Where LSU may have messed up is a breach of NCAA and/or SEC rules - which isn't illegal but can still be punishable by those organizations.
But back to my main point - any lawsuit between the players and the SEC will occur in federal court - where the current precedent is no TRO under to Colorado case.

What keeps a state Judge from trying to reinstate a player? Does that federal appeals court ruling cover Louisiana etc.?

Has the SEC defined it inconsistently?
They’ve applied it inconsistently. NBA guys are more professional than European league guys per the SEC.
So how is Dae’quan Wright who made $75k that he has to pay back at 22 yrs old more professional than Trinidad Chambliss in his 6th year at 24, making $6M.
The NCAA knows this is a indefensible position. That’s why they went to 5 for 5 - age/experience based eligibility not amateurism based.

So the NFL transfer players are going to sue the SEC and LSU will say yes we want to pay them? Or they already have contracts?

No, they aren't good enough for that league or they would be there

If the players want to sue the SEC, the lawsuit will end up in federal court. A state judge can't make a ruling on a case that isn't actually before them in court.
The players may sue in state court. But day 1 before any hearings are had or decisions are made (including anything to do with a TRO or Injunction) the SEC, as defendant, will kick it out to state court under diversity jurisdiction.

Federal appeals courts temporarily halted blanket preliminary injunctions favoring the players, leaving eligibility status dependent on individual state-level restraining orders.

Sure, but they are eligible. Therefore, not a monopoly. They aren’t entitled to a career playing football.

Who knows who gets the final word
The crying Ole Miss judge apparently got the final word for Chambliss so who knows.
Yes this is a bunch of legal BS

The frenetic posting by LSU fans about this is very telling
