I think Ole Miss was right to allow Chambliss to return. I can't blame them one bit for it.
I think the same for any of these other schools who would bring in this class of players.
What would be laughable is having the opinion that it's ok for your team but no ok for others. That seems to be where you stand.

this SEC rule that specifically mentions NFL and NBA players was passed AFTER Bediako. this rule was NOT in place at that time.
And the current SEC rules were AFTER Wright. These rules were NOT in place at that time.
More Hypocrite BS from Alabama

So that indicates the expectation is the court will side with the players tomorrow..

I'm not involved in any case.
These players have sued and if the courts say they are eligible, all teams would be crazy not to roster them while their competition (Ole Miss in this example) has already benefitted by doing so.
The SEC's argument really isn't logical. Half of the teams in the SEC have a payroll of over 30M and they are throwing a fit about a handful of guys who mad a tiny bit of money during preseason?

Royal and figurative you

Again, LSU isn't in these suits.
The LSU angle is just an emotional one. Texas, Missouri, Ole Miss, and others have been linked to adding one of these players.
All of these teams would be crazy to not take a player that could help their team if the kid is eligible given their direct competition (Ole Miss as an example) has done exactly the same. Ole Miss isn't the only example. But, it added an All American QB that was ineligible. You really can't find an example that is more impactful.

Honest question,
How was the bediako situation different? He was a professional player playing in an NBA league and played in games for Alabama.
There were rules in place prior to this year preventing professional athletes from coming back to play in college, no?
Bediako case was very similar for the reasons you mentioned.
The differences are:
the current players that actually signed a contract are arguing they would not have signed if they knew 5 For 5 would be passed.
Bediako case argued that NCAA had granted eligibility to other international players ( he's Canadian) who declared for the draft and signed G League contracts. He argued along the precedents of that the line on NBA G League already being crossed.
The other difference is the SEC rule being passed. Bediako case was 100% against the NCAA.
That every new precedent in crossing a line for a one time exception has opened the floodgates of new court cases is obviously why the SEC is so determined to stand their ground like they did in the Bediako case

You're taking this way too literally. I hope everyone beats the NCAA including LSU

Kinda hard to argue they did when they didn't vacate the games the he played in while ineligible.

All of this is 100% worth it for a backup TE and overweight DL
So glad lane went to LSU so he could get all the best players

Standing is THE problem for SEC in federal court.
Standing as legal matter fir federal suits includes demonstrating literal damages to plaintiff, not future or hypothetical damages.
Also the damages must be to the plaintiff, not other parties.
In this case, SEC has no Standing on regards to future or present freshman athletes missing opportunities.
In two ways this removes Standing for SEC.
1, the freshman are separate parties. SEC doesn't have Standing to sue for a athlete's damages even if the damages are real
2. Who do they sue?
-the athletes returning from professional participation?
Two problems here.
a. These athlete could be considered part of the class of those damaged (freshman athlete) separating a class into subclasses is very difficult in federal cases.
b. These athletes can demonstrate the same damage.
Other problems suing the pro athletes. The will have to define what signing a contract means. Every one of those players have signed something. Everyone. Not one single athlete went to workouts or practice, camp or anything sanctioned by NFL without signing something.
SEC has created a problem that the rules distinguish without a practical difference.

Disagree.
The SEC has a direct, concrete, particularized interest in having its rules and regulations enforced. In any suit it brings to protect those interests, it easily meets the standing requirements.

They do.
The problem is still standing.
They cannot use hypothetical or even real future damages for standing in federal court.
Still, the question, But who do they sue?
The local judge?
The athlete
Themselves?

Any real lawyer would jump at the opportunity to do explain their position.

Attorneys in the college sports world right now.
It is slowly being revealed that most coaches of NCAA programs have thought of the exact thing that Lane went out and did. This was on everyone's radar and the powers that be did not address it until it was done, then addressed it poorly. Look you made this a shite show with every ruling, the guys coming back for a 5th year are the least of your worries.
