Good luck with that defense in court.



Our defense is you made up a rule after we contacted these guys and then we obeyed the court as there was a TRO.

Again, alledgedly, the judge asked the SEC's lawyer to define amateurism and the lawyer said that he didn't have an answer now but would get the answer. The judge told him "I will want an answer to that question."

So pros are against SEC rules but the SEC commissioner can’t define what a pro is. What a good look


Are European leagues on the same level as the NBA? How many Euroleague players come to the NBA and dominate?

We can clearly define that the NFL and NBA is pro and NCAA is not.

How does the SEC sue a coach for supposedly coaxing players into suing the NCAA?

I thought they claimed to be independent.

You can’t “ban professionals” when your own entity admits it can’t define what a professional is. It’s a ludicrous idea to be honest

Does anybody have the exact wording of the lawsuit? Because recruiting NFL players doesn't really sound like a sueable thing.

It’s not. And the location of the lawsuit is ridiculous as well

The SEC has zero intention of going through with that lawsuit. It’s only okay right now is trying to throw big money on the table and hope lsu folds

The Sec is holding a 3/9 offsuited hand

Can we get wellness checks on the plethora of LSU fans here who said “the SEC can’t do anything.”


You do realize this suit is to prevent LSU from rostering “professional” players, when Kiffin and LSU have said they will comply with the rulings if that is how the courts decide it.

You guys have your panties in a twist over what is Sankey and the conference trying to save face.

It's really not. The problem now is if kiffin really did get them to sue. They have to have some kind evidence to file suit. Now there is no return.



Had Ole Miss got bounced out of the playoffs in round 1 I really think you don't see this desperation from Lane. Or I guess you could call it competitive drive depending on your outlook. Now its not just about wanting to succeed, he wants to prove he made the right decision.

LSU has added 2-"position" rooms into the football complex. These rooms are wedged between the "tight" ends room & the "tail" backs rooms. One of these new rooms is occupied by the house Moms from the LSU sororities, the other one is designated as the "deposition/legal" room.

It cannot be said that Lane is not a trend setter.

Sankey Said he isn't aware of any particular players situation and it's not an issue about being a pro athlete but he thinks that if a player moves on then they have made their choice and should not be able to come back.


Wow.

Just wow.

Why couldn't Lane just comply from the start?

And why can't you stop looking like a penis?

I retract that statement, if there's proof.

Haven’t pro coaches been on record about LSU reaching out to NFL staffs about certain players?

So unprepared. It doesn't look good when your own conference can't define amateurism.

Explain how the SEC has legal standing to sue Lane for supposedly coaxing players into suing the NCAA for something that wasn't yet against SEC rules.
