Why are so many of you fine with playing some ineligible players but not others?
Because fans have been arguing over the occasional sixth year medical redshirt for years.
Arguing about guys just cut from NFL preseason rosters coming back to play college football after the season has kicked off is completely new.
In the Chambliss case we are arguing something that has precedent. We are arguing whether his illness was severe enough to grant a medical redshirt season.
With this latest situation we are arguing whether players who were just cut from NFL preseason rosters can return to college teams after the season has kicked off.
Surely you are able to discern the difference.

So, you're saying people are fine with one because they've gotten used to it and not the other, because it's new?
Even though they're basically the same thing at the end of the day, the issue of playing ineligible players?

There is no rule against 6th year medical redshirts from playing college football. There is a rule that prohibits players who have signed professional contracts and appeared on a pro roster from playing college football.
You are welcome, glad I could help clear this up for you.

I agree, but Chambliss never got a medical redshirt. It was rejected not once but twice, if you recall. He's just as ineligible as a pro player, per NCAA and SEC rules.

Should a federal judge eventually rule that a voluntary organization can enforce it's agreed on bylaws,
Federal judge/s won’t rule that way if the voluntary organization’s bylaws are deemed discriminatory. It will be interesting to see how they rule.

Of rigging the officiating? They wouldn't get sued over a single call. They'd get sued over a statistical analysis that identified a non-random pattern spanning multiple games. Probably backed up by a comparative video analysis of other officiating. Plus, one of the many officials involved would speak up when offered proper incentive, like avoiding charges.
If you were gonna rig games using officiating, the last thing you want to do is establish an identifiable pattern by focusing on one team
These people are delusional, don't present too much logic, you might blow their minds.
Imagine the implications, especially in the world of sports betting.
But yeah, the SEC is just going to rig games vs LSU because a bunch of players are suing for eligibility. The sad part is posters like you responded, to would cheer a world where the SEC rigs games vs a member, simply because they don't like the member. And then they'll try to lecture everyone else about morals and ethics.
Clown world.

Notice how no teams are threatening to not play LSU.
This is retarded. The penalty for that would probably be in the millions due to tv contracts plus expulsion from the league.
Sankey and the SEC were issued a show cause order. They folded like the French army instead of going into court this Thursday to explain why they were going to violate the original TRO issued to the NCAA.
The SEC is a member of the NCAA and any TRO tor the parent organization is effective for all subordinate members.

Again for 10k time, this isn’t good for college football and you know it. You just think it benefits LSU. At some point allowing washed out pros to return to college football along with NIL will destroy what made it unique. An NFL model will never work but hey you got some sweet message board owns

You chastised me for not being civil. Then in your very next reply to me you told me to kill myself.
You are an LSU fan aren’t you?

Even if you completely ignore the backgrounds of these players, it is insane that teams may possibly be adding players to their rosters after the season has started.
It is crazy that there are people who claim to be college football fans who are actively rooting for the complete destruction of college football because they have their feelings hurt.
This is why LSU is the ISIS of the SEC. They will gladly blow themselves and the SEC up in an attempt to hurt their enemies.
It is also insane that we have podunk local and state judges who are fighting for reelection making judgements on cases - cases brought by greedy ambulance chasing attorneys hoping to get rich from it - that are rooted more in politics than law. It in turn is causing chaos nationwide in a $13 billion dollar industry.
But many fans here are ignoring all of this because they think they will benefit from it.
Fans should be talking about the games played this opening weekend and next weekends slate of SEC games. Instead it still feels like the offseason here.

This is the heart of it. This is terrible for the game. And it only applies to this class momentarily. I fully expect more lawsuits in favorable venues next year.

This is all part of a well thought out plan that will result in the SEC filing in federal court. The only question that will be asked, and that question has already been answered in federal court ((precedence). The question is; can the SEC enforce rules on member’s student athletes. That’s it, game over for the rogue LSU degenerates.

The majority of LSU fans on the rant are posting that LSU has beaten Sankey and the SEC
What is evident is that you can't seem to understand that LSU isn't the plaintiff in this case or any other case against the NCAA or the SEC. It's the players. Nor is any other school the plaintiffs in any of the other approximately 18 other cases for this issue against the NCAA or any conference, including multiple of those cases against the SEC. You seem to be silent about that or ignorant of the fact that many players are making this challenge. If they become available and are allowed to play, then our coach says we'll avail ourselves of the opportunity.
You and others can pout on the sideline, that's your choice. But, as much as it will piss you off, your school is going to be in the thick of it too, just like recruiting out of the portal that no one likes ever year.

No, you don’t understand. The conference has a rule, and can enforce that rule. Those former pro athletes can still play if the court says they can, but it will not be in the SEC. That’s why the vote by the presidents was needed, and it was unanimous except one dumbass school abstained.

Not only that, they are rules that LSU voted in favor of.
That is likely to be very awkward for them in court.
Membership in the SEC is voluntary. But with membership comes rules that members agree to abide by.
It is like an HOA. The rules don’t have to be rooted in law. But when you agree to join the HOA you have to abide by the rules or be penalized by the HOA. And it is completely legal.
quote:
Why HOA Rules Are Legal
Private Contract Law: When you buy a home in an HOA community, you sign documents agreeing to the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). Courts view this as a binding agreement between the homeowner and the association.
Corporate Structure: HOAs are typically organized as non-profit corporations under state laws, giving them the legal authority to manage common areas, levy assessments, and enforce community standards
The SEC is not saying someone can’t fill their front yard with junk cars. They are saying if you want to live in our neighborhood you agree that if you fill your front yard with junk cars we are going to penalize you based on the contract you signed and agreed to.
The SEC can’t block or penalize a player. But they can levy fines, suspensions, and other penalties against a member organization who breaks their rules.

You seem to be proud of this fan behavior. Is this typical of all the Alabama fans? Must be acceptable y'all since none of others in the restaurant intervened in the illegal activity.
Maybe your new nickname should be Tea Baggers and not the traditional Gumps, Forrest.

The difference is Sankey has votes from 15 university Presidents backing him up. Chambliss never went to an NFL camp. LSU picking a very bad hill to die on.
Did the SEC rule Chambliss eligible for 2026? Or are they simply complying with a TRO issued by a local judge?
If the latter, then how would this be different than any other TRO issued by any other local judge, say, in Dallas, TX, or Kentucky, or in Louisiana?
By the way, what is the hill LSU is dying on? Playing eligible players? Because, if they weren't eligible 3 weeks ago, then why did the SEC hastily adopt a rule to declare them ineligible right before the season when they were contemplating being added to the roster? Seems like the last minute pivot by the SEC is what prompted the lawsuit by the PLAYERS.
We'll see if they prevail or not and if they are deemed eligible to play, but that decision is now out of the hands of the "15" presidents and Greg Sankey. Their knee jerk reaction, piss poor planning, and reading of where the state of athletics is in college sports has lead us into this situation.. Just a bunch of morons and academics who have no sense of reality or the real world.
