NEW: Schools that violate the SEC's professional sports rule will result in:

• 50% season suspension for head coaches
• 50% of that sport's annual operating budget
• SEC voting privileges on business matters revoked

So, what you're saying is that Kiffin thought missing half the season was a hill a little too high.

That is some serious financial penalties... Combine that with the "loss of voting rights on business matters" and no AD or school president would ever agree to let a student enroll or sign an agreement.

This is significantly more hardcore than the B10 penalties.

Can we just kick these retards out of the conference and be done with it? Boot LSU, add Miami/UNC/Duke to make it an even 18 like the B1G. Maybe even boot Mizzou and add FSU while we're at it

Court cannot address league rules. They didn’t rule the player ineligible. LSU voluntarily agrees to league rules. Feel free to join the Sun Belt.

How did LSU’s president vote yes yesterday and Kiff is doing his own thing? Seems they aren’t on the same page.

What court? And does that court have personal and subject matter jurisdiction over the SEC?

What plaintiff? LSU has standing to sue. I kind of think since they voted in favor of it, their president or chancellor won't authorize legal action.

The players lack standing to sue the conference for its choice to enforce internal governance and bylaws against it members.

Sorry your local Cletus fanboy judge does not get to make the rules on how the SEC enforces its own bylaws. It is a voluntary organization. LSU is certainly free to leave it and go independent.

Wright and Harris could be the plaintiffs and LSU as the defendant if LSU refuses to honor any agreement with the plaintiffs when they were talked into going back to college.
