It probably will, once heard by a judge or appellate panel not subject to local influence. There is ample precedent for the proposition that the organizations should be determining eligibility and not the courts. You think it should be the other way around, but no court would agree with that, they all claim to be singular exceptions.
That’s why courts aren’t getting involved with eligibility disputes across the country, right?
I swear you people can’t see past your noses.

There is a clear line — the signing of a contract. Those are a lot of words to say to you simply disagree with where it has been drawn. Nevertheless the line is clear as day. Like it or not, LSU is on the wrong side of it and Texas is not. This isn’t hard if your thinking isn’t hijacked by your emotions. Now we let this play out. I’m betting LSU prevails and then we’ll see what consequences if any the SEC is able to levy.
You’re proving my point. If the line is supposedly so clear, why did Hutson have to sue like the other players who signed full NFL contracts? If his situation was nothing like the other players who actually signed NFL contracts. And regardless of where anyone thinks the line should be, we’ve never seen players go through the NFL Draft process and then return to play college football. That’s why all of this ended up in court.

It couldn’t be more obvious that this is a personal attack on LSU rather than just enforcing the rules. If it was a Mountain West team, none of you would give a shite.
Just fricking let it go for this season and place the rules in effect for next season.

He sued to try making the new 5-in-5 rule retroactive to him. Unlike the other players, he doesn’t have an NFL contract to worry about.

The NFL will trip over themselves to not sign players who want to “try out” for free and every fringe player will do just that from now on.
No contract. No obligation to fix the OL's knee once he tears it while being forced to block a veteran DT named Bubba.
You should be medicated

CBB players can do NBA workouts and combines without losing eligibilty.

I don't know how much they paid him. Different teams pay different amounts. That doesn't matter. Fact is he got paid and signed to attend the mini camps. Another fact is you have to sign a document to participate in the mini camp.

It’s funny you think no one else will. You probably also believe no other SEC schools will sign any of these players if they get their TRO.
I’d suggest you buckle up scooter. Gonna be a rough ride for you up on that high horse.

Exactly. And after somehow getting a local judge to improperly give him a temporary restraining order to let him play for a few days, that TRO was properly dissolved and Bediako was finished.

Players who went through the draft process weren’t allowed to return to college football. The real question is why that standard has suddenly changed
You conveniently left out the history of entering the NFL Draft and exhausting your eligibility meant you were considered to have moved on to the professional ranks, whether you signed a contract or not. Even players who had only played four years and never signed an NFL contract weren’t allowed to return to college football after going through the draft process. The real question is why that standard has suddenly changed.

Which is considerably more than what LSU has done with the football players in question. An undisputable fact.

He was without recourse. He had to.
He was undrafted. He did 4 years thinking his time was up. It was either workout hoping to earn a contract or bagging groceries.

Not important to me here; however, why would he have to declare if he had exhausted his eligibility at that point? Declaring to enter a professional draft is historically done by underclassmen.
Historically, once a player declared for and went through the NFL Draft process, he was considered to have turned pro and couldn’t return to college football. It didn’t matter whether he was drafted, signed as an undrafted free agent, attended a tryout, or never got a call at all. Now the line has apparently moved to whether a contract was signed. That’s a pretty convenient change for some people.

I’d suggest you look up the cases of all the players LSU will be signing.

Yet. Wtf are you saying? That LSU has no intent to play the athletes it has practicing rn? If so, wtf are we even talking about. I’ll answer that: you hope to get a different result for your athletes than Bediako got. You want to play athletes who clearly are ineligible under the NCAA and SEC rules prohibiting pro athletes from coming back to college.
Jesus you people are incapable of intelligent discussion.

Now that there is a fifth year please explain like I am five why an undrafted free agent will work out for the NFL for free with risk of injury to no obligation of NFL medical's when he can just go to college and get paid another million

Used to be different in the NBA as well.
Now players can test in the NBA and come back with feedback.
Now is that progress or regression. I'd lean progress.

Why would you not? Impress them enough and they may offer you $3 million. If they don’t, just go back to college.
You never signed a contract, after all.
If you squint, and try looking at books with words and not just pictures, you may see the gaping loophole being opened here.

Come back to earth. No undrafted free agent is making that much money first contract. Maybe 950,000 at most.
You are a waste of my time.

Harris was offered $3 million contingent on making the 53 man roster. He was an UDFA.
How many time could you possibly be incorrect in one conversation?
