Will the SEC now drop their suit against LSU?
Or do they move forward in order to push LSU out of the conference.
Hit me with your best wish casting.

What did LSU itself do wrong?

According to the suit, the school conspired with “NFL” players to sue the NCAA, which in turn caused the SEC harm.

Well, the SEC can prove it or drop the suit. The players never got rostered and the administration said they would comply with court orders and SEC rules.
We all know the frenzy that got whipped up but it seems to be in both sides best interest to let this die.

The players were verbally promised NIL and roster spots.

I would be ok with the SEC dropping the suit and just putting LSU out the conference.

I posted this in another thread
It would be ironic if the judge held LSU, SEC and NCAA in contempt.
Maybe then the SEC or NCAA could define amateurism and what constitutes a professional athlete.
I get the outrage but what the judge ordered was the exact same as the previous rulings including Mizzou and now Indiana.
NCAA and SEC screwed this up from the jump. They knew in January what they were going to pass in March.
None of the players (contract or not) that are returning to college are any more or less professional than when they were on the field for their last college game.
This is a battle of semantics which the courts are never fond of. SEC will lose badly if the case isn’t dismissed because Sankey will have to testify and unless he plans on perjuring himself he will need to admit the following
1) he can’t define amateurism
2) he doesn’t know what constitutes a professional athlete
3) he never read the 5 for 5 rule before enforcing it
4) he believes no athlete that left school should be allowed to return
5) signing a contract doesn’t mean someone is professional
He really screwed the pooch and I’m expecting him to retire no later than the end of the year or be fired.

Maybe the Big 10 can explain their rules too.

That's worth about as much as the paper it's printed on.

It’s all messed up because no one had anyone at the table with common sense.
NCAA and the 4 big conferences left amateurism behind when schools could organize NIL and then revenue sharing.
All this nFL crap is dumb. These kids are already professionals.

Neither player was eligible to play this week even if Sankey had given his blessing. They have to be on campus and have a certain amount of practices in. One isn’t even able to practice yet.

They were both on campus and practicing. They would have been available as the cooling off period was over.

No P4 conference gave a blessing. No more hypotheticals and debating “what is a contract” or “what is a pro” crap. Let it go. Same with LSU fans, let it go.

JayAg, I’m not sure if you are trolling or serious. If you are serious then I think you may be misunderstanding some of the facts and sequencing.
LSU was enjoined at the end of the lawsuit. They did not have a lawyer present. There were numerous players on the filing including some that weren’t in the SEC and only suing the NCAA. I believe 2 Vanderbilt players were there as well suing for eligibility.
The NCAA had lawyers and so did the SEC.
To start the trial, Jason Williams the lead attorney for NCAA or SEC (I can’t remember) was asked to define amateurism and he was unable. It went downhill from there at the trial. There was no kangaroo court.
This similar situation played out in Missouri and Indiana along with other states.
The NCAA only had 2 lawsuits dismissed due to the court not having standing to hear the petitioners case. They have lost every lawsuit.
Lane Kiffin said he would follow the rules from the start.
Every ncaa player from 2022 was encouraged to sue to go back.
I expect those players to be rostered after the federal court case. I also expect an expedited case if it makes it that far.
