But it maintains that it’s entitled to discipline any of its member institutions that violate its rules. One guess as to who that member school is.
The Missouri player got his TRO against the school because of these rules. The judge granted the TRO and said the school could not withhold any NIL or Rev share deals that were in place.
Why does the SEC think LSU can violate a court ordered TRO or temporary injunction after tomorrow, without any legal jeopardy. This all boils down to exactly what Lane said: how can you pick and choose what TRO's you are going to obey?

The fact that it is ex post facto

LSU isn’t a party to that suit and the TRO wouldn’t be against LSU. It’s under no obligation to enroll a student, roster him, play him, or pay him.
Oh and that Mizzou case? Apparently the player was already on the team somehow. So that’s a different situation.

If they win their Injunction and LSU says we can't do it because of the SEC rule, they would be in the same situation as Missouri.

How is that unfair to high school athletes?
Did you really just ask how it would be unfair for an 18 year old high school player to play against a NFL player?
Surely you did not.
Here is how. One guy is most likely to be 18. The other is 22+. But the main reason is the amount of training, nutrition, and practice they receive. One has 2-3 years of high school level instruction. The other has had 4 years of college nutrition, strength training and practice and a summer of NFL level instruction and training.
The fact you asked that question is amazing.
Even in high school they have different classifications based on school size in the spirit of fair competition. And you are arguing that it is fair for high school players to play against NFL players.
LSU should be kicked out of the SEC for you asking that question.

I feel you may have overlooked the fact that no one is saying NFL players should play in high school.

If this happened in court I’m sure they asked the judge to enjoin Mizzou at trial. Which made them comply with the order.

No idea whether the federal suit will be filed, but based on the SEC’s filing in state court today, it’s pretty obvious who is in its crosshairs. The filing says it has not taken and will not take any action against any of the athletes. But it maintains that it’s entitled to discipline any of its member institutions that violate its rules. One guess as to who that member school is.
This is where Sankey may have fricked up and ruined any chance to punish a school (LSU) in the short term. Any ruling for the players will most certainly include language specifically addressing this attempt to force their will against what the court determines is the player's right. Sankey may have just pulled a Texas AG-level mistake.
FYI, federal court has zero power to overrule state court until the state appellate pathway is exhausted.

What is the time frame where the defendants can still request a federal law based case with federal courts having original jurisdiction and no restrictions in federal law to be moved to a federal court?

Harder to do in a non political case at the federal level than it would be in a local one.

Yeah to your point, overruling state court takes time and all.
For the SEC, seems like it’s better to take action and then defend said action in court later.
SEC has to be thinking that maybe fines won’t be paid, or suspensions won’t be honored.
So next options considered.

We will appreciate you funding our next ten years of NIL via damages

A Lawsuit from LSU would make the SEC discussed federal lawsuit more clear.
Posted on 9/2/26 at 7:46 pm to AGGIES
If you enforce penalties that you are legally barred from doing you absolutely will get sued and lose.
Posted on 9/2/26 at 7:48 pm to Adam Banks
Assuming a loss is one way to look at it.
The other way is - Not if that judgement is overruled.

Sounds like LSU wants to be able to say they had no choice when they just
could have not recruited the players in the first place.
