We are delusional, yes in court right now the SEC commissioner could not define what a professional is and also couldn’t answer what amateurism is

You sure LSU looks foolish?

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


Just Todd Monken, he later walked that back and said Lane never called him. He said something vague about there maybe being a text message or something but didn't seem very confident in 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 Stanley and the conference trying to save face.


Is it?

Going by the OP it's just another what LSU already tried to do and nothing about the other rulings.

I'm not a lawyer and I haven't read the entire thing. So, I'm willing to be wrong and change my opinion. But based on what I've seen, the lawsuit is pretty narrow and LSU is guilty.

SEC sues LSU and Lane Kiffin


in a court in ALA-frickING-BAMA of all places

in light of quite literally EVERYTHING (and it's all out there), this is quite literally the SEC acting in bad faith and unfair dealing with one of their members, a founding member at that and one of their biggest brands

LSU and Lane better go scorched earth Al Davis antitrust lawsuit on the SEC, I hate the SEC, the SEC is a bunch of mafia, racketeering, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas loving dirtbags

FIGHT THE POWER

Seems like that would be an easy thing to track down for the SEC. I’m sure the NFL would help them on this issue.

What you seen that proves guilt?

Serious question.

Do you think the SEC overrules the court?

Where's the lawsuit against Texas and Sark?? Hahaha They just hate LSU and Kiffin. Nothing more than a witch hunt. This will be thrown out quickly. Very bad look for the SEC. College football already has professional players on loads of rosters. This is silly.

Likely. I'm not really sure how that could be any type of violation though. It isn't direct communication with the player and I doubt anyone from LSU was working through someone on the Browns staff to coax Wright into suing the NCAA.

Who else reached out to these players?



And did anyone, other than LSU, try to organize the lawsuit itself, or did the other schools wait for the TRO to be in place before begining those conversations?

Professional = paid direct to play a sport by the sport, an employee of the sport.

NIL = paid by outside sources.

Revenue sharing which has just gone into effect in the like the past month or so could be an issue, however these are not contracts to sign, but sharing after the fact.

Meaning, college athletes are not employees.

A highly technical pillar of the SEC's suit argues that LSU is committing a First Amendment violation against its own conference. The SEC claims that as a private, voluntary association, it has a constitutional right to dictate its own membership rules. By using state courts to force the conference to accept professional athletes, LSU is unconstitutionally forcing the SEC to associate with actions that break its own bylaws. This mirrors a similar federal strategy used by the Big 12 against Texas Tech earlier this summer regarding quarterback Brendan Sorsby.

Any member that actively encourages or helps another party to sue that organization should be disciplined! If that mean tossing them out if they don't stop their underhanded methods, so be it.

The players sued the NCAA, not the SEC. The SEC insisted they're independent of the NCAA.

If revenue sharing doesn't involve contracts, why is Ole Miss suing two LSU players for supposedly breaking their revenue share agreements?

Revenue sharing is direct pay for play.
