LSU learned a trick from Bama and Lane’s ex about injunctions. Injunctions always work it seems. Texas Tech had to be shamed into not playing a degenerate gambler, since they had their injunction in place. Catch up aggy.

I was listening to a podcast earlier today where the hosts were discussing some current NCAA rules, and no one knew for sure because they seem to change or get challenged so regularly.

Imagine trying to coach right now and navigate all of this, trying to not fall behind but not making any multi-million-dollar mistakes.


Right on cue. What happens when these eligibility rulings flip flop in court during the middle of the actual season?

Sankey is right to do this. Just as he was in the Alabama case. And hopefully in this pro-football situation.


Yea screw those guys wanting 5th years. I'm sure you feel the same about a guy getting a 6th year.

No, really it's just screw guys who have played professionally and now want to return to college.

No particular issue with guys who never played professionally - like Pavia and the 100+ guys who got 5th, 6th, hell even 9th years like that.

So playing forever is cool? No limits on eligibility? Sinus infection equals 10th year. There is no consistency with your position. Either all of these guys should be eligible or none of them. Either the NCAA rules can be enforced or they can't. You can't want selective enforcing of the rules and think you are on the correct side of this.

Well lucky for all us fans, this might be getting back under some control:

Unbelievable.

There should be an annual amendment window or some sort of periodic change-control clause that prevents a new ruling from affecting the sport daily.

By the time someone on the staff identifies something like this and an action plan is implemented, it's either been blocked and changed back, or they've moved down the line to some other legislation. How are they supposed to keep up?

Not sure if red Greg and Finebaum are on speaking terms.

The other Greg, Finebaum, and Greg $ankey though are most definitely BBQ buddies.

They are ineligible again just like Bediako for Bama, only his temporary injunction was during the season so he got to play a few games on it whereas Luis Jr's will be over before the season ever starts so he'll never actually play.

What’s the crux of the SEC’s argument against, the intraconference transfer rules?

Stankey will shite and fall in it.
He has mostly been inept as Commissioner. Petitti is running circles around him.
He speaks out of both sides of his mouth.
Plus, he has the personality of clogged toilet. He is so dour. Each of his interviews or press conferences are cringe.
The presidents should have shite canned him years ago.

Well, yeah. I'm more talking about if we have situations where the court battles are still ongoing by the time the season starts and the constant back and forth results in guys going from ineligible to eligible to ineligible again throughout the year depending on which way the wind is blowing at the time. How as a coach do you plan a roster around that?

And if 5th year guys suddenly get ruled eligible halfway through the season again, are we going to essentially have a mid-year free agency period?

What a time to be alive.
