I think there is a simple solution. LSUx takes the players, puts them on the roster, pays them as agreed by school and player, then benches them for the season. They get their money and the school is not punished by the SEC because they never played.

The school is being discriminated against
So you agree that's a crime. Ok. We're in agreement that the conference can be sued for that and it appears that is happening as we speak

quote:

So the lawsuit must be the school versus the conference
2 judges have already listed Sankey as a defendent and not 1 school has sued yet

quote:

So the school is suing on the grounds that they are being subject to the rules that they themselves put in place
No, they would be telling the SEC, rightly so, that judges have ruled those players eligible and the conference can't stop something that is legal

quote:

What is a judge going to do?
I guess we'll see when Sankey shows up in court

quote:

Tell the school to stop voting for rules that make their own decisions difficult?
I get that you're not catching on to this but the judges' rulings have invalidated the conference's position on the matter regarding these particular players.

It's just not as difficult as you're making it out to be

There will just be consequences
The judges seem to disagree with you on that

No one is forcing LSU to remain in the SEC.
Kicking a school out of the conference for doing something legal is discrimination, which is illegal and the conference could be sued for that.

The conference is on the wrong side of this issue at the moment

Sankey is being called in as a DEFENDANT. As in explain your actions because they contradict my ruling

The players who have been ruled eligible are already winning. Who knows where this goes but Sankey is on defense at the moment

SEC would probably still try to fine LSU. Then again there's always a price to make these players go away.

the SEC will be able to pull the lawsuit into federal court rather than be stuck in state court in Louisiana.

Doubtful. The SEC is an unincorporated association just like the NCAA, making it a resident of every state where it has a member institution. No diversity of citizenship between the parties equals no federal jurisdiction.

Lol. Discrimination isn't a crime.

Punishments discriminate against rule breakers.

What are you? 7 years old?

The conference isnt stopping it.
Lane can do it.
I actually encourage him to do it.
Show the conference who is boss.

quote:

conference's position on the matter regarding these particular players.

The conference's position is that the players can play. The team and university have consequences. None to the players.

Don’t laugh, but that might be the exact result of all this.

For all the reporting on this, none of the journalists have provided any good analysis of all the issues. For example, when the SEC issued its list of penalties today, it didn’t really tie them to the new NFL issue, which is what the players are suing over.

Instead, the SEC said the penalties are there to enforce all of its player eligibility rules, but it specifically referenced the intra-conference transfer rules that have been in effect since 2023. Those rules prohibit an intra-conference transfer outside of the normal time frame, but do allow a player to join the transferee team, practice, and get paid, so long as he doesn’t compete in intercollegiate contests.

How many times does it have to be said this isn't about Kiffin. Not only has Sankey been called as a defendant, it's being reported the Dallas judge issued an order blocking the conferences' punishments

Not to mention their other 2 heros. Miles Garrett (racist that hits players with helmets) and Capt push off Mike Evans. Twice attacked Marshawn lattimore from behind like a bitch.

These are aggies legends in current nfl
