Sankey said on the stand:

He doesn't know the difference between amateur and pro

He doesn't know any individual player's circumstances

He doesn't actually know the 5 for 5 rule

Players haven't "come back" from pro to college

Chambliss gets to break the 5 for 5 rule because of a "medical issue"

If players "move on" they shouldn't be allowed back

What a joke. This guy is the leader of the top conference in America. That's an embarrassment and a buffoonish performance. A catastrophic and stupendous failure.

Regardless of whether you agree with the players or not, no one should find this acceptable

Fear of LSU and they haven’t even played a snap.

It’s comical.

This is what the story should be and they've done a masterful job of making a distraction for these idiots to gobble up.

My personal favorite
Sankey when asked by a Vandy player attorney about Vandy facing punishment and evading the question 5 times.

Doesn't need to, the SEC can define eligibility any way it wishes.

Doesn't need to, the SEC can define eligibility any way it wishes. The SEC can still limit people to 4 if it wants.

As LSU fans keep telling me, rosters aren't out yet.

Move on means turning pro.

I not only find it completely acceptable, but I also find it extremely correct.

But only if they attended preseason training camp and got cut they can’t come back. If they attended rookie minicamp and got cut, they can come back.

Oh, and playing professionally overseas is ok but playing pro ball domestically isn’t. Clown fricking world.

The commissioner. The supposed top expert on the conference and all things NCAA with an army of lawyers. Sure bud

quote:

Not exactly. That's why they were in court today.

quote:

Doesn't need to
How can you expect someone to govern effectively and fairly if the leadership doesn't know their own freaking rules?

quote:

Apparently courts all across the country disagree with you

quote:

You missed the point. No surprise

quote:

court ordered
Which contradicts your previous points about SEC rules. Why isn't the SEC punishing OM for playing a player currently considered ineligible by the NCAA? Private voluntary organization and all that

quote:

Move on means turning pro
BWAHAHAHA. Yeah Sankey brought the house down trying to address that

Wow. Maybe you have low low standards

The SEC commissioner doesn't need to know the 5 for 5 rule just in general is a joke much less doesn't need to know it to testify in court about it.

Of course he made that up on the spot.

If a player goes to any one of those camps, they are there to "move on" if they get an offer. Either they should all be allowed back or none of them. But expecting consistency might be asking too much

And these players did not "move on." They were told they had no choice. Sankey is acting like it was a choice

Don’t forget the QB making $6M this year who sued for his 6th year of eligibility bc of a sore throat is considered an amateur, and that’s ok by the SEC, at least enough so that they didn’t sue that school and coach.

Chambliss - ineligible. No punishment from the SEC

DQ - eligible. LSU will get punished for playing him

Oh the courts said Chambliss can play? What a coincidence

If the SEC rant could get over the trolling of LSU, they would collectively realize Sankey is over his head.


His answers today were insane for the leader of a conference suing one of the founding members.

It's irrelevant. The SEC is able to make its own rules on eligibility. You aren't forced to the NCAA's standards; you just have to stay with in them.

The SEC can't allow 6th year players and still be within the rules, but they can go down to 4 all they want to. The NCAA may have minimum academic requirements, but the SEC can make some that are even tougher. You can't sue Notre Dame for example and make them take you because your academics are passable in the NCAA, Notre Dame is able to set it's own standards.

It doesn't mean they can't play the sports, it just means they can't do it in the SEC.

I see the same shite in real estate when it comes to state, county and city rules/permits. The state will set a standard and then a city/county will make their own rules that are usually stricter.

If the state says you can have short term rentals, but the city says you can't, you can't just sue the city and claim you should be able to because the state allows it. And it doesn't matter if the local clerk gets on stand and has no idea what the state limit is.
